For the last 50 years, a huge golden tree with deep roots reaching the center of the earth has been terrorizing humanity. The tree has the power to petrify humans, turning them into trees with roots appearing at their feet. Some believe that this tree was made by Mother Nature herself in order to punish humanity for their prolonged environmental damage. No one even dares to approach the gigantic golden tree, too afraid of what obscure creatures harbor its huge roots… You are a mage determined to put an end to this madness. You reach the tree, ready to approach its depths… What awaits you at the end of this journey?

Be careful! If you don't move, roots will start appearing at your feet, slowing down your movements to an halt. Keep moving and remember to use your hook as much as possible.
