STORY

Deep in the forest of the Mini Kingdom lies the Midnight Swamp, a mysterious and magical place where unusual characters dwell.

Meanwhile, the mischievous Venus Fly Trap keeps a keen eye out, ready to catch any unsuspecting fly that dares to come close. Together, they keep the swamp alive with magic, mystery, and a sprinkle of mischief!
