About the Game

The tranquil forest has been corrupted by the dark magic of the Great Demon King Grum. The animals have been turned into puppets, forced to build a dark fortress for him. Amidst this despair, two innocent and optimistic capybaras—Cap and Barr—become the last hope.

Like the other animals, they were captured by Grum and taken aboard his spaceship. However, Grum soon discovered that these two capybaras were "hopelessly stupid"—so much so that even his dark magic couldn't fully control them. In a fit of rage, he kicked Cap and Barr off the ship, leaving them to fend for themselves.

Luckily, Cap and Barr landed on a soft beach at the edge of the forest. Though naturally simple and good-natured, witnessing their friends brainwashed and their home destroyed ignited a courage they never knew they had. They decided not to sit idly by but to embark on a challenging adventure—from dense jungles to dangerous swamps, from towering snow-capped mountains to a dark castle. They must use their wits and courage to solve puzzles, avoid traps, defeat the brainwashed animals, and ultimately confront the Great Demon King Grum to save the forest and all their friends.
