Enter the Forest of Worlds, a fantastical realm where each tree is a gateway into realms of pure imagination. Yet the forest is withering, and along with it; the creative spark of every living thing. Join Mari on a platforming adventure as she is guided by her mentor, Owl Sensei, to reseed the Forest and avert the fate of a world devoid of imagination.(Storyline via IGDB)
