Starting a Unity 6 project should not begin with a three-hour Asset Store rabbit hole. This is a tight free starter kit — enough to move, look, hear, and iterate without paying up front.
Prefer URP-friendly and actively maintained picks. Verify Unity 6 compatibility on each product page before importing.
