App Storyline
The moon is out of balance and the tides are raging on Sonata, a planet beyond the Milky Way. Every living creature on Sonata that doesn’t have gills is in peril. All life will be swept away into the deep seas only to be lost in its darkness. The planet's stable water cycle has relied on the well-balanced rays of the moon to keep it from flooding, but the planet’s inhabitants have slowly stopped creating what has kept the rays in alignment, the sound waves of poems.
Luna, the last poet of Sonata needs the user's help before all is lost. Users will join Luna on a PoemPlay journey to save her planet from the raging tides.
