About the Game

“The 'lover's legend' says that a couple of gardeners existed for a long time in love with each other and with nature. For reasons of life, they were separated by the distance. To continue their legacy of care for the environment, they swore they would spread artifacts on a trail and would join two feathers from local birds. So the birds will follow the path of artifacts, magically connecting two souls that join they will continue the legacy of the lovers."
