About the Game

Story

The main heroine of the game, Arisa, because of the breakdown of the spaceship gets to an unusual and beautiful planet full of various monsters, which was not in her plans. You will need to help the heroine to fix the ship and get out of this planet, which is not so easy, on the way to complete several tasks and solve the mysteries that keep this mysterious planet.

In your adventure you will be assisted by a robot helper named Derk. He is very fond of teasing the main character, because of which there will be a lot of funny situations in the game.

Gameplay

In this hand drawn world you will have to solve a lot of mysteries and find a lot of treasures, as well as fight a lot of terrible monsters, although some of them are quite cute. Climb into hard to reach places, sink to the bottom of the ocean in a submarine, ride on an abandoned railroad and, of course, collect a lot of upgrades for the main character.
