Hunting Grounds of the Great Spirit (or “HGOTGS” for short) is a transmedia universe based on Northern Native American cultures and spiritualities, spanning multiple media.
For your information, a transmedia license (or Intellectual Property -IP- ) is a narrative or creative universe presented across multiple media (video games, films, books, etc.), each medium providing complementary content that enriches the overall story or experience.
Hunting Grounds of the Great Spirit is a spiritual, strange, dreamlike world set in the wilderness, based on the beliefs of Northern Native Americans, where the rules of the “real” world do not always apply.
This transmedia license is distinguished not only by its universe, but also by the fact that its components are video games or board games. This allows players to interactively discover the different facets of this dreamlike Northern Native American universe.
Each of these games has its own unique features, but beyond the shared universe, the most common elements in terms of gameplay are: natural open worlds, exploration-adventure, fights against hostile animals, a day/night cycle, as well as the shaman Crazy Owl and the Wendigo.
This transmedia aspect allows for reaching different audiences by offering specific products, as well as introducing them to other products from the same license.
Finally, the central product of this transmedia license is the Companion App, common (but optional) to all products, allowing for greater immersion and/or for educational purposes.
