Little do you know that in this search of yours, the fate of the world is at stake. Sink your claws into this spellbinding tale of Lionboy. Meet a cast of characters you'll never quite the good, the rotten, the ambiguous, and the delightfully weird. Follow Charlie through amazing places you just may have dreamed about as he braves great dangers and experiences the remarkable. Join the adventure!
