As a solo indie developer, I am deeply thankful to the Android community for your unwavering support and encouragement. BrightRidge is a labor of love, and I hope you find joy in exploring this world as much as I did in creating it.

Explore and Story Modes

Are you ready for an adventure? Dive into the magical narratives of "The Ballad of BrightRidge" and "Love & Tin" in Story Mode. Alternatively, opt for Explore Mode to wander through BrightRidge freely, without the pressure of quests or enemies. Seek out the legendary ancient whale that swims the vast oceans, or uncover the hidden ruins scattered across the land.

Shape Change Powers

Unlock the ability to transform into various species and view BrightRidge from entirely new perspectives. Soar as a golden eagle or a winged dragon, sprint through the forests as a cunning fox or a graceful deer, or amble as a majestic Tree Ent. For a serene experience, flutter among the flowers as a delicate butterfly, a fan favorite!

Photo Mode

Embrace your inner nature photographer and capture stunning images of BrightRidge's breathtaking landscapes. Will you snap a shot of a rare deer by the river, or perhaps a golden sunset amidst ancient ruins? Use the Spirit View feature to track animals and understand their habitats and behaviors, enhancing your photography experience.

Customize Your World

Tailor your experience with extensive customization options. Adjust the time of day, activate Watercolor mode for a living painting effect, and apply various filters and effects. On newer devices, increase the detail settings for a more immersive and visually stunning adventure.

Legends and Lore

Discover Legend Spots throughout the land, each revealing snippets of BrightRidge's rich history, people, and places. Visit the cozy BrightRidge Inn to relax by the fireplace, dance with fellow travelers, or listen to their captivating stories.
