Welcome to The Forgotten Desert, a desolate world where the temperature remains a constant 100 degrees, day and night, with no water in sight. This lifeless desert was once a thriving community, but now, only empty houses and long-abandoned spaces remain. Inside the villa, players can explore the vast living areas, filled with old, deteriorating resources like beds and storage, remnants of a forgotten time. NPCs in the villa offer side quests, providing challenges and valuable clues to survive or unlock hidden areas, even though no one else lives here. As players solve puzzles, explore rooms, and gather old resources, they must figure out how to escape this bleak desert.

Your mission:

• Explore the villa's empty houses and rooms to find resources and clues.
• Solve puzzles and complete side quests given by NPCs to progress through the desert.
• Gather and manage old resources like food, tools, and water that might still be usable.
• Overcome environmental challenges to survive in the harsh conditions.
• Discover secrets about the villa's history and why it has been abandoned.

Suggested Interactions

• Resource Management
  Players need to collect and manage old resources carefully, including food and water, which are scarce in the desert. Resource conservation is key to surviving the heat.

• Exploration and Discovery
  The villa is full of abandoned rooms, which hold valuable clues or hidden items. Players must explore thoroughly to uncover the villa's secrets and find everything they need to survive or escape.

Educational Implementation Ideas:

• Survival Skills
  Players can learn basic survival skills, such as rationing food and water, managing resources, and adapting to extreme environmental conditions (e.g., the effects of heat on the body and mind).

• History and Culture
  By uncovering the villa's secrets and talking to NPCs, players can learn about the fictional history of the villa, the lives of the people who once lived there, and why the area became abandoned. This could incorporate concepts related to archaeology and history.

• Problem-Solving
  As players complete side quests and puzzles, they will develop problem-solving skills and critical thinking as they navigate the villa's mysteries.

• Environmental Science
  The game’s setting can teach players about the effects of extreme weather, desert ecosystems, and how plants and animals adapt to such harsh conditions. The heat and lack of water can serve as an introduction to basic climate science.
