Synopsis
[edit | edit source]There’s something strange going on in the Overworld. Glowing mobs are popping up outside Harlow’s village, and they seem... not of this world. Everyone knows the illagers have vanished. So what could this be?
Convinced it has something to do with the disappearance of his best friend, Iliana, Harlow sets out to investigate. His search takes him away from the village, through a maze of tunnels—and straight into a dangerous illager base!
After a narrow escape, Harlow has more questions than ever. How could the illagers be back? What are they plotting with these new mobs? To find the answers, he will explore an ancient city, battle foes bent on mind control, and travel to a wondrous dimension of peace and calm.
The deeper Harlow dives, the more mysterious this new dimension becomes. He will have to decide if it’s better to escape into the unknown or stay and fight to make his world better. Whatever he chooses, Harlow knows one thing: If he can find Iliana, they can finally be the heroes their village needs—no matter which dimension they end up in.
