A gorgeous app sharing the culture of those in the Daintree. I feel privileged that we have received the story for this. It is also extremely beautiful and the videos are very high quality. The interactions however are extremely limited and it mostly plays as a very brief immersive video. I would recommend this to everyone as it has an important message however people need to be aware that this experience is really for about 5 minutes and is in no way a game hence the 4*s. I wish there was a lot more content. I still am grateful for those who have made this. I would not recommend buying this at full price however would recommend considering it as investing in a brief unique and interesting experience Thank you to the developers and the custodians of this land for sharing their stories. I hope this is more content in the future.
