The roadside temple

Generated from: Aerial top-down pre-dawn view of a small whitewashed roadside temple with a red flag, a stone step and a hanging brass bell, a flagstone courtyard, a low boundary wall, one banyan tree, five motorcycles parked on the highway verge, a dirt forecourt whose only way in is a hard turn around the temple's square water tank, a scuffed white stripe across the dirt at the forecourt edge where the group arrives, warm orange lamps inside the shrine and cold blue pre-dawn fog outside, no text. Drawn in this game's art direction: Photoreal high-poly 3D render, realistic human proportions and worn everyday materials — scuffed painted metal, wet asphalt, chipped concrete, dusty cotton, damp leaf litter, rusted iron. Night lighting built around one hard handheld flashlight source with deep black falloff, sodium-orange streetlights, cold blue moonlight and drifting fog. Camera like a handheld camcorder, slight wide-angle distortion, subtle sway. Analog VHS treatment throughout: heavy film grain, soft chroma bleed, faint CRT scanlines. Muted desaturated palette of charcoal black, sodium amber, sickly green and dusty brown, with one small red accent. Everything is original: never draw or resemble characters, places or logos from existing games, films or brands (no red-capped plumbers, no famous mascots), even when the idea names one: take a named game's look and mood, never its characters, names or logos. No text, UI, HUD, logos or editor screens inside any image.
