Plot
The players compete to gather vegetables to fix a mysterious glowing tower that is causing vegetables to sprout at random all over Sunny Island. The story is told through the point of views of twelve characters: Mark, Chelsea, Vaughn, Pierre, Sabrina, Elliot, Natalie, Shea, Lanna, Julia, Denny, and Witch Princess. In the end, all the crops disappear; Witch Princess's story reveals that she had touched a stone slab that controls the tower, which in turn deactivates it. In the end, a festival is held as a celebration.[7]
