localgpt-app Japanese Temple & Gardens — "The Meditation Path"
Peaceful walking sim through a temple complex. Follow a guided path through the garden, interacting with 5 meditation stations. Each shows a haiku and lights a stone lantern. Complete all 5 to unlock the inner temple door and hear the monk's final teaching.
Design Intent
Stillness. Slow walk speed (4.0). Third-person to appreciate the landscape. Every element is placed with Japanese garden principles: asymmetry, borrowed scenery, hidden-and-revealed views. The torii gate frames the temple. Cherry blossoms drift. Koi circle endlessly. The quest is contemplative, not urgent.

- Temple: raised platform, dark wood body, tiered pyramid roofs, 6 red pillars
