This game takes place in Jamaa, the world which conveniently have almost all types of terrains. However, not all is peaceful as mysterious creatures call Phantoms are causing havoc by polluting the ocean and the forest. Yes, that's the plot and you can only experience it by doing adventures.

Aside from adventures, you can play various mini-games to earn gems (the gem's currency), buy a pet, dress up your player character and befriend other players.
