Players embark on a mission to activate crystals to free a green ghost, but the narrative lacks depth, with minimal backstory provided within the game itself, relying instead on information from the Steam store page.
“A very short (2 hours playtime) story in a special and beautiful world, in a colorful underwater empire.”
“Of course you have a mission: activating crystals to free a little green ghost, who will show the way to the next area.”
“The only part of the background story for the game I know about is from the Steam store page.”
