Story

Somewhere in South Korea, a young cat named Azu lives, still not quite out of his kitten days.

Azu was the happiest cat in the world.

Until his older sister, Mocha, left his side...

Mocha was more than just a companionā€”she was Azu's mentor, teaching him how to live as a cat.

But after Mocha disappeared, Azu felt an unbearable emptiness in his heart.

His owner said that Mocha had crossed the "Rainbow Bridge" to a faraway place and that now it was Azu's turn to protect them.

Protecting his owner wasnā€™t a big deal, but Azu couldn't shake his curiosity.

What was this "Rainbow Bridge" that Mocha had left for?
Was it such an amazing place that she had to go there without a word?
If Azu went there, could he meet Mocha again...?

The more time passed, the stronger his curiosity grew, as if trying to fill the fading memories of Mocha.

So one day, Azu decidedā€”he would find Mocha. He would find the Rainbow Bridge.

Even the wise old Crow, the smartest creature Azu knew, didn't know where the Rainbow Bridge was.

Still, Azu had to try.
As soon as the sun rose tomorrow, he would venture outside.

Where should he go? How would he even get outside? He had no idea.
For now, he just needed to eat plenty of food...

Lost in thought, Azu eventually drifted to sleep.

And when he opened his eyes, he found himself in an unfamiliar land.

As Azuā€™s owner, it is up to you to help him complete this journey and reunite with Mocha.

You may already know this, but the Rainbow Bridge is not a place to cross lightly.
Once crossed, thereā€™s no telling if one can return.

But you are the only one who can help Azu.
