Draftea

Draftea is a night forest research application that combines acoustic identification with track analysis in a mystical tropical reserve. Players listen to procedurally generated animal calls, match them to species, locate corresponding footprints across forest zones, and deploy sound sensors to complete each investigation.

The core Draftea gameplay loop uses a three-phase field research model: auditory recognition, trail tracking, and sensor placement. Incorrect decisions trigger a disturbance mechanic that scatters animals and reshuffles track locations, requiring players to re-listen and re-analyze the environment.

Beyond the main investigation mode, the app includes a species encyclopedia unlocked through successful discoveries, an archive of recorded sounds with replay capability, and structured night research missions with dedicated objectives. Progress persists locally across sessions.

The visual identity uses deep green, gold, and black tones across glass-panel interfaces, with AI-generated backgrounds depicting a glowing night jungle and an expedition camp among ancient trees. The interface is fully responsive and built as a self-contained web application with Web Audio API sound synthesis.
