Description: Parktails is an adventure that takes place in the aftermath of a great forest fire. Once the fire is extinguished, the animals of Geyser District, led by Zornova and Gondzor, are forced to confront numerous difficulties. Many of these displaced animals become despondent as a result of the loss of homes, relatives, and friends. As part of their attempts to find answers, they send parties of their representatives to oracles in search of answers and wisdom. While searching they confront a variety of dangers and obstacles, which they must overcome for the sake of their community. Unfortunately, the answers are not always clear, so they work together to interpret these ambiguous nuggets of wisdom.
