William and Sly In our introduction to this world, William's fantastic teleportation system has been deactivated, and it is up to Sly to fix it. Activate the stones, play around with mysterious fairyflies, and gather up mushrooms. The heart of the game is in exploration, venturing beyond the central task, and seeing what intriguing discoveries can be made in every corner of this sprawling landscape. William and Sly 2 The troublesome gnomes have stolen and scattered the pages of William's journal! Alongside this main quest, you will discover shrines that offer up side quests and new abilities.(Storyline via IGDB)
