3. Puzzle Mechanics: Incorporate puzzles tied to the jungle's mythical nature, requiring the player to switch between transformations or interact with environmental elements to solve them.
4. Ritual-Based Challenges: Unlock new abilities through rituals, where players perform mini-games to gather magical energy or invoke the gods.
5. Multiplayer or AI Companion: Add a cooperative mode or an AI-controlled companion who assists with combat or puzzle-solving.
6. Narrative Choices: Allow players to influence the story by interacting with magical beings or deciding how to use the jungle's powers—peaceful restoration or destructive dominance.
