The Quest to Save Shelmerston

Upon reuniting, Morris and Sparky learn of an impending disaster: the eruption of Shelmerston's volcano. Their mission is to prevent this catastrophe while searching for lost and scattered ghosts. Traversing familiar spots, they dive into the memories of those who once walked the island. Each memory reveals part of Shelmerston’s vibrant history and its diverse inhabitants.
