With the help of his animal friends he sets out on an adventure that takes him through the vast world of Quark. On a parallel with this adventure is that of his sister, Una, a young orphan girl abandoned in London.

* The possibility of managing the animals that accompany the heroes, and taking control of them in order to use their characteristics and specific powers, offers new game possibilities that have never before been exploited.
* Travel between two parallel universes with totally different characteristics: a fairytale world on the one hand and a realistic London that is sombre and disturbing.
* Complete freedom of action in a non-linear scenario.
* Real-time combats and previously unknown powers.
