You can expect RPG, puzzle, and cooking elements aimed at keeping the experience fresh.

Here’s a description of the game’s story:

Timothy’s grandfather has passed. But legends tell of a tower so high that it disappears above the clouds, built by a god. If someone manages to climb it to the top, a wish is granted. Join Timothy, armed with hope and courage, on a deadly quest to bring back his grandfather.
