Mall

> *"The 'mall' itself is perfectly safe. The centipedes are confined to the tunnel to the Fung. Steer clear of that and you will face no unacceptable risk."* Jell-A
>
>

The **Mall** is an underground shopping center that was built before the Moon Dragon and has since fallen into disrepair. A particular tunnel on a lower level is the home of the Fung, which is guarded by large centipedes and the Order of the Fung. Parts of the mall outside of this tunnel can be accessed safely despite the dangers inside, such as when Kai retrieves mushroom spores to plant the Cave Garden.

There is an access tunnel that leads directly to the mall from Jell-A's Home.
Inquisition

**The Inquisition** is an independent knight order dedicated to protection of the humanity from harmful magic.

## Structure

The order itself consists of multiple organizations with distinct names and distinct areas of operation. E.g. in the Western Kingdom, the main branch is title the Knights of the Sun.
Inquisition is foremost a militant fanatical organization, though certain branches do have more worldly tasks like education and providing help to those in need.

## Beliefs

The Inquisition's main belief is that magic itself is opposed to the laws of the universe and thus dangerous to the humankind. Only the Inquisition can serve as a shield to protect the regular folk.

All branches worship Indira. Any other celestials are seen as either lower deities, or heresy.

## Jurisdiction

The Inquisition is independent and allowed to act in all of the kingdoms, as long as they do not directly harm the interests of the royal families.

Following rights are given to the forces of the Inquisition (unless the royal authority objects):

Mage Hunts:
Mages deemed too dangerous gain the status of apostates and will be actively hunted by the templars.

Cleansing:
Magical artifacts that are deemed too dangerous are gathered by special troops of templars and brought to the main fortress for cleansing.

Purges:
Should an area be considered too contaminated by magic, the archbishops can call for the whole area to be purged.
A purge needs to be sanctioned by four archbishops and be brought before the affected royal family.
Garden Mode

Known as Gardens from the main menu, this is where the player may explore the possibilities of gardening without the restrictions of story mode.

Plant Seeds: Plant seeds to grow plants or fungi.

Tend Plants: Harvest, Move or Salvage. Harvest to receive a semi-random number of seeds from a ripe growth. Move to move plants within the same garden. Salvage to remove the plant and receive a single seed.

Time Controls: Pause, Slow, Normal, Fast Forward or Very Fast. Applied to the entire garden.

Mood Controls: Choose from Random, Rotating or one of the seven Moods. See Moods page for more information.

Seed Sharing: Use Send Seeds to generate a screenshot with a code that could be redeemed as seeds, and Receive Seeds to input code and receive the seeds within.

Clear Garden: Remove all flora planted in garden slots.

Listen: Zooms out and lets you watch the entire garden from afar.
Tung

Screenshot of Tung

**Tung** is the son of Claire and grandson of Mori. He loves to watch TV and is seen working on one of his dad’s old boats that he left behind throughout the game, which he later names *Sea Dragon*. When he's not watching TV or building his boat, he's helping Graubert unloading the ferry.

## History

Tung was young when his father Gorm abandoned his family. At this age Tung was both large (bigger than his parents both) and had bad anger issues, and it was after one of his tantrums that his father left. Tung may have blamed himself for his father's disappearance as a result.

Dennis stepped forward at this time to keep him distracted as the family healed, and eventually took on the role of unofficial surrogate father to him. Tung's time spent helping Dennis means that Tung has experience repairing things around the island, as well as conducting tests and experiments.

Tung is extremely fond of a particular Italian soap opera, which he watches for hours on end, starting over whenever he finishes the series. He also enjoys loud music and playing the drums, performing in a band with Miu and Spike.

Several months before Kai's arrival to Mutazione, Tung and Ailin spent a night together while Graubert (Ailin's husband) was out at sea. Ailin became pregnant with Tung's child after, and she hid this fact while claiming that the child was Graubert's.

## Gardening

Tung teaches Kai the growing song  Wanderlust Waltz as they take his refurbished boat for its maiden voyage. He learned this song from his father.

Tung will later ask Kai for Wubjen Root that he can use to create a pigment to paint his boat. This prompts Kai to plant a garden in the lot where he works on his boat.

Tung helps her by giving Kai seeds to plant, including seeds given to him by Claire after she learned about their plans:

* +3 Wubjen Leaf Seed
* +2 Guzmania Seed
* +1 Coastal Orchid Seed
* +5 Goblet Flower Seed

## Trivia

* Mutazione's writers take heavy inspiration from soap operas, and Tung's interest in them reflects this attitude.
Papu Tree

> *"All of Mutazione is linked by the roots of the great Papu Tree. The flora and fauna depend on the health of the tree and its symbiotic relationship with other organisms."* --Jell-A
>
>

The **Papu Tree** is a giant tree that grew after the Moon Dragon destroyed the island's former city. Its roots stretch far as well as deep.

The tree has grown sick by the time Kai arrives, and several islanders are worried that the tree's death will prove disastrous for the island as a whole. In the past it has been kept in good health by someone (such as a shaman) ensuring that the island remains in balance, a process that includes seven mood gardens being planted and cared for. Nonno has been unable to tend to these balances since falling ill, and was distracted even before this.

The Fung lives in the tree's roots, and both depend on each other for survival. The tree's flowers have properties that repel the large, poisonous centipedes that guard the Fung. When the tree is in bloom, petals fall through the air like rain.

## Inhabitants

Several islanders have homes across the tree. The Dots have a small village high in the tree's branches, including the Dot Shaman. Nonno's Hut is further down from them, near the site of a small garden that Dennis uses to meditate.

Yoke, Nonno, and Miu have houses built against the tree's trunk.

Dennis and Princess in a ventilation shaft alongside the tree's roots, and the Sausages and Russell are frequently seen nearby. Jell-A lives the furthest down in a small series of caves against the tree's roots.
Moon Dragon

The **Moon Dragon** was a comet that struck earth 80 years before the beginning of Mutazione's story. It devastated the area it struck, demolishing a crowded city and presumably killing everyone alive at that time.

The area it hit has since become an island, and the area home to heavily mutated humanoids, flora, and fauna.
Fung

> *"An incredibly powerful fungus. It offers great powers of restoration, life born from decay. But also decay born from life."* -Jell-A
>
>

'**The** **Great Fung**' is a spiritual entity that lives in the roots of the Papu Tree. According to Jell-A, it is in a symbiotic relationship with the Papu Tree, and Mutazione's ecosystem depends on this symbiosis.

It is guarded by giant poisonous centipedes and the Order of the Fung. The Fung needs guards because it is otherwise not difficult to reach: it lives in the bowels of an abandoned shopping mall that can be accessed directly from Jell-A's home.

In addition to its guards, the Fung's own supernatural properties are highly dangerous. The Expedition team of scientists attempted to approach it (against all advice), and nearly all of them perished as a result. RD's attempted to harness the Fung's power fractured his mind, leading him to attack his family destroy his home, and vanish in the aftermath.
Bopek

Screenshot of Bopek

**Bopek** is a young mutant that lives on Mutazione. He's raised by everyone in the village, and can take idioms more literally than expected. He's particularly close friends with Jell-A, visiting him frequently in the Papu Tree's roots.

Bopek enjoys activities that use his hands, such as weaving or arcade games. He progresses quickly in both activities throughout the game, and by the end he is inventing new knots and building nets that won't tangle, as well as achieving the second highest score on the arcade game in Spike's Bar. He also enjoys singing, teaching Jell-A the Otherworldly Oratorio, and singing to Jell-A's Cave Garden, and the water as he fishes.

Bopek is extremely fond of hot sauce, much to the dismay of other villagers, and he is prone to overindulging unless stopped.

## Gardening

On Saturday morning (near the time she plants the Dot Garden, Bopek can give Kai seeds for gardening:

* +2 Wyvern Egg Seed
* +3 Red Ti Plant Seed
* +5 Wallsprout Seed
The Sausages

**The Sausages** are sausage-shaped mutants that live on Mutazione. They work with Dennis to fertilize the Papu Tree's roots, and to help him with repairs around the island. While they work they talk about marketing opportunities. This is despite there being no currency used on the island, or goods that they want to sell.

There are five Sausages with names and defined personalities:

* **Medisti:** Talks about consumer demand and untapped market opportunities
* **Prazky:** Skeptical of Medisti's ideas and Sal's tangents
* **Salsiccio ('Sal'):** Introduces frequent tangents, many of which are inaccurate and outlandish
* **Weiner and Wurst** (two ends of one sausage)**:** both tend to meet Medisti on his own level, talking through details of marketing tools

The Sausages tend not to listen to others. They ignore Kai whenever she approaches, try to steamroll a Dot while advertising one of their ideas to it, and aren't helpful when Dennis is trying to see data about their work and the Papu Tree's health.

The Sausages can be predatory with their schemes, such as when Kai found them trying to pressure a lone Dot into accepting to exercise in a 'gym', where it would produce electricity for them and receive nothing in return. They disperse when Kai intervenes.

## Trivia

* The Sausages mention crashing Spike's bike into the river. This may be the same bike Kai can find under water as she explores the wilderness.
Harsh

> *"I don't know, that one always seems to come out when things feel... on edge."* -Mori
>
>

**Harsh** is one of the seven moods used to grow gardens. The song for this mood is the Harsh Hum, and is taught by Mori in Chapter Four in the Stir Fry Garden.

The garden centered around this mood is the Beach Garden, and it is planted as Kai and Nonno begin to argue, and Ailin struggles with her relationships with Graubert and Tung.

## Flora

The flora aligned with this mood are:

* Astral Ragwort
* Boroboa
* Coral Weed
* Coroca
* Gnome Mushroom
* Goybo Leaf
* Graptopelatum
* Mountain Pine
* Pawpaw
* Red Adder
* Silver Laurel
* Stackwort
* Stone Flower
* Stone Grass
* Wall Sponge
Cave Garden

> *"I have not felt it for many years... Akin to the moment before the sun aligns with the moon."* Jell-A
>
>

The **Cave Garden** is in the furthest cavern of Jell-A's Home, and is where Jell-A spends the early hours of each day replenishing themself. When Kai first meets them they explain that the nutrients in the cave's soil have been diminishing over time, and that he may die if it continues. Kai fixes the issue when she plants the garden, Jell-A's energy levels immediately improve.

Kai is prompted to plant this garden when she needs to grow Evanescence mushrooms for a ritual with Nonno.

**Mood:**  Otherworldly

**Soil Types:**  Soil,  Cave Wall,  Cave Soil,  Cave Water
Gardening

Gardening is a focal point of the game and advances the story mode.

## Garden mode

Garden mode is available from the main menu as part of the 01/21/2020 Garden Mode update, which introduces the Cloud Garden. As part of the 10/22/2020 7 Gardens update, all gardens from Story mode can be accessed in Garden mode once they have been unlocked in Story mode.

In Garden mode, the seeds are from a separate inventory as Story mode. Instead of collecting seeds from the wild, the players will have to harvest them from plants or receive from other players. The seed box starts with a number of starter seeds, and new plants may grow in any soil without intentional player input.

The Garden Mode update includes seven exclusive seeds (not available from Story mode). The 7 Gardens update introduces eight additional exclusive seeds. The Penpal update includes seven additional exclusive seeds. The final Three Years update includes eleven additional exclusive seeds.

See Flora for lists of seeds from Story mode and those exclusive to the updates.

## Story mode

In story mode, gardens of various moods must be cultivated in order to progress.

* Rooftop Garden
* East Garden
* Beach Garden
* Tung's Garden
* Dot Garden
* Cave Garden
* Temple Garden

## Plants and fungi of Mutazione

Most of the information can be found in-game in the Plants and Fungi Encyclopedia *Flora of Mutazione* (obtained from Yoké in Story mode, available from the start in Garden mode).

Most plants can be grown together as long as there is sufficient room for growth, though certain plants, such as Anarcadia, can poison plants in the same sub-area.

See Flora page for more information.

## Soil types

Plants and fungi can only grow in certain soil types. Different plants and fungi may overlap in soil requirements,

Soil types in both story mode and Cloud Garden include:

 Soil,  Water,  Swamp,  Wall,  Rock,  Sand,  Tree,  Tree Soil,  Cave Wall,  Cave Soil,  Cave Water

See Soil Type page for more information.

## Mood and sound profile

Each plant or fungus has one of the seven moods:
 Pacific,  Melancholia,  Harsh,  Wanderlust,  Euphoria,  Otherworldly and  Spooky.

Each plant has a unique sound not shared by others. Each sound can be as common as harp or percussion and as complex as aeroplane.

See Moods page for list of flora per mood.

See Flora page for individual sound profile of each cultivar.
Tragic Mistake

A **Tragic Mistake** is the event where a hero is given a clear choice, but because they choose poorly, it results the disastrous event that brought the huge impact on their life that made them more miserable than ever. The said mistake may caused by the said hero's own flaws, but sometimes fate also pressed them to chooses poorly as well. While the hero and/or their allies may not realizing the consequence of their wrong choice, that moment is crucial to the beginning of unfortunate event that ranges from merely the hero's tragic downfall to the chain of disastrous events.

The results of this bad choice lead inexorably towards the hero's catastrophic end - had the hero chosen correctly at this point, the catastrophe could have been averted. The said mistake also the crucial part of their story.

## Examples

### Feature/Television Animation

#### Disney/Pixar

* Kuzco: Pacha tries to warn Kuzco about Yzma and Kronk trying to kill him, only for Kuzco to blow him off, believing they were there to bring him back to the palace. He then orders Pacha to go away, believing he is the one trying to keep him from getting home. Only when Kuzco overhears Yzma and Kronk talking about killing him does he realize he sent his only friend away for nothing.
* Kenai: In his anger, Kenai killed Koda's mother for her unintended part in Sitka's death stemmed from their troubles (Kenai's negligence from properly ensuring his and his siblings' captured fishes allowed Koda's mom and her cub to eat them), causing Great Spirits to punish him by turning him into a bear. Though he managed to find redemption upon realizing the bear he killed was the mother of his newfound adoptive brother Koda, Kenai's very ordeal turned out nearly doomed Denahi to make a similar mistake when the latter mistook his bear form as some feral bear that "killed" Kenai until Sitka's spirit showed up to show him the truth.

#### DreamWorks

* Moses: When he attempted to stop a brutal Egyptian guard from excessively whipping the elderly Hebrew slave, Moses accidentally killed the guard instead, leaving him horror-struck while the slave became grateful, thus kickstarting his abrupt departure from his perceived home and subsequent ascend into the prophet God destined him to be.
* Megamind: Upon discovering Hal Stewart/Tighten using his powers for his own purpose (ex. robbing banks, stealing bikes)). Megamind is thus horrified and disgusted that instead of creating a new hero for Metro City, he made a villain far worse than him.

Goblet Flower

*Wild Tulip*

Habitat & Cultivation

**Soil:** Sand or rocky surfaces

**Found:** Fairly rare.

**Parts Harvested:** Dried Goblet

A herbaceous perennial much loved by Mutazione gardeners. Bears some resemblance to the common tulip. The flower head, which grows into a specific three-pronged shape, distinguishes it from the tulip genus. The flower blooms atop a scape surrounded by dark green leaves that grow in a circle around the bottom third of the stalk.

## **Uses**

Because of its beautiful appearance, the Goblet Flower is often gifted as a decorative indoor plant.

*A sensitive plant which often requires complementary planting.*
Manii

**Manii** was the leader of the island in the aftermath of the Moon Dragon, an apocalyptic meteor strike that devastated the area. She is never shown onscreen but is mentioned frequently due to her strong influence on the island's residents. She taught Nonno how to be a shaman despite his status as a newcomer, and was fluent in the island's ecological and spiritual balances.

She is said to have had a quiet style of charisma.

## History

Manii was initially known for her open and transparent style of communication. She was welcoming to the scientists that came to study the island, but this trust dwindled as the scientists treated the residents like test subjects to be studied instead of equals. She began to write notes in code around this time using simple ciphers.

She carved the illustrations in the Temple. This is where she met Nonno, who she would eventually come to teach as a Shaman.

She spent a lot of time conserving non-vital things like books, artifacts, and instruments from life before the Moon Dragon. She was the one who originally created the Archive.
Vitamin Pill

> *"Multivitamin pills, a mix of vitamins and minerals recommended for people who do a lot of sport."*
>
>

The **Vitamin Pill** is a default item in Kai's backpack, with a starting quantity of 3. When Jell-A mentions that the Cave Garden's nutrients are no longer enough to sustain them, Kai suggests that he take a Vitamin Pill, and she gives him one. They are not enough to counteract Jell-A's problem, but they appreciate the gesture.
Pasta

**Pasta** is a side character that appears throughout Toca Life Stories. She goes to the same school as the gang.

## Appearance

Pasta appears as a round animal eared friend in a blue jumpsuit with a hoodie and white, pink lined sneakers. She has blushed cheeks with expressive eyebrows and a white stomach. She is probably a hamster.
Wanderlust

> *"Something Dad used to sing, I think."* -Tung
>
>

**Wanderlust** is one of the seven moods used to grow gardens. The song for this mood is the Wanderlust Waltz, and is taught by Tung in Chapter Five as he, Kai, and Miu take his boat on its first voyage.

The garden centered around this mood is Tung's Garden, and it is planted as Tung finishes his boat and thinks about his father, who left the family to travel to places unknown.

## Flora

The flora aligned with this mood are:

* Bearweed
* Cerignola
* Coastal Orchid
* Cotton Grass
* Goblet Flower
* Golden Cone
* Green Claw
* Guzmania
* Hobble Berry
* Keppatree
* Pineweed
* Proteus
* Stone Leek
* Sun Shrooms
* Vogelberry
* Wubjen Leaf
* Wild Grass
Semenya

Screenshot of Semenya

**Semenya** is Kai's spirit guide, and takes the form of a white deer.

Semenya's first appearance is when Kai is looking for a hidden swimming area in Mutazione's wilderness. After a few seconds of mutual regard, Semenya leaves through the same gap in the trees that Kai needs to take to reach Miu. When Kai mentions the deer to her friend, Miu remarks that she's never seen any wildlife with Semenya's description in the area.

Semenya helps Kai save Nonno from his trapped state in the Spirit World by leading her towards him.
Mori's Stirfry

**Mori's Stirfry** is the restaurant run by Mori that feeds the village. Mori prides herself on using ingredients that are locally sourced, such as vegetables from the garden downstairs or meat hunted by Miu. She makes an exception to use chocolate in one of her dishes, and keeps this a loosely guarded secret.

There are potted plants on the right wall's shelf that appear to be Wubjen Root hybrids. There is a model of the Papu Tree on the back wall.

The sign outside says that the official name of this store is actually **Mori's Morish**. Mori's Stirfry may be the label assigned on Kai's Mutazione Map for the sake of navigation and general information.

## Stir Fry Garden

There is a garden below the Stirfry that can be reached through the stairwell at the back of the restaurant. Mori can frequently be found tending to the plants, and at one time will sing a song that lists various plants that may grow in a Mutazione garden. When asked if these are the plants Mori is growing, she'll reply no, that those were just the names that rhymed.

Among others, the Stir Fry Garden grows Rose Reeds and Blueanas.

## Menu

Mori's Stirfry serves something new each day, though not all meals are available for Kai to taste.

**Monday:**

* **Meat:** Swamp Prawn Curry with Neejon Nut rice.
* **Veggie:** Vogelberry and Milkfruit smoothie, with an optional handfull of Water Nettle leaves (as per Ailin's preference.)

**Tuesday:**

* **Veggie:** Bluefern Bake with Greens (not available for consumption, is mentioned as 'leftovers' on Wednesday)

**Wednesday (Morning and Midday):**

* **Meat:** Jellosa Jambalaya with Douglas Crab
* **Veggie:** Bluefern Bake with Greens leftovers

**Thursday (Midday):**

* **Meat:** Nosehog & Jellosa Leaf Stir Fry with noodles, with Crispy Blue Bugs as topping
* **Veggie:** Wallsprout Stew

**Friday (Afternoon):**

* **Meat:** Curried Waxwing with Ti Berry and Water Nettle-infused rice
* **Veggie:** Risotto with Lantern Hat Mushrooms and Biffalo Mozzarella
* **Vegan**: Water Nettle and Lantern Hat Mushroom fried rice (only available if the previous two are turned down)

**Saturday (Afternoon):**

* **Meat:** Smokey Biffalo bacon in steamed buns with optional hot sauce
* **Veggie:** Roasted Wubjen Root in sweet Keppa Berry sauce, served with Touc egg noodles

There are four food-related achievements that the player can get, and they require eating some or all of these meals.
Tung's House

**Tung's House** is located by the docks. It is where Tung lives, and is adjacent to Tung's Garden and the lot where stores and works on his father's old boat. The inside of the house consists of one large room, and includes the TV where Tung rewatches his favorite soap opera *Tre Fontane* late into the night.
RD

RD
--

**RD** was Nonno's previous apprentice as a shaman, starting twenty years after Nonno's original cohort died. He grew impatient with Nonno's pace as a teacher and wanted to harness the power of the Fung before he was ready. He attempted to do so, and it overwhelmed him to the point of damaging his mind beyond repair. He attacked Miu (his wife) and their three children, burning down their house in the process.

RD fled after the incident, and his exact fate is still unknown.

## Trivia

* RD's face is used as the icon for the achievement 'Rebel Gardener', which is obtained by planting a garden with seeds for an inappropriate mood.
Mori

Screenshot of Mori

**Mori** is a mutant on the island that runs the store Mori's Stir Fry. She grows all ingredients in the Stir Fry Garden (except for one secret ingredient), and takes pride in feeding her fellow islanders. She is also a notorious gossip, and frequently eavesdrops while she cooks.

Claire and Tung are her daughter and grandson respectively. She is good friends with Yoké and Nonno.

## History

Mori has known Yoke and Nonno for a long time, often feeling like a third wheel compared to the two's close friendship.

She lost her husband at sea many years ago.

## Gardening

When Kai is going to replant Miu's East Garden, Mori will gift Kai with:

* +3 Wall Plant Seed
* +5 Crimson Lily
* +2 Blackpool Lily Seed

Mori later teaches Kai the  Harsh Hum growing song, which Kai can then use to plant the Beach Garden. Mori brings up the tune because her day was feeling 'on edge'. When she finds out Kai is going to replant the Beach garden, she gives Kai:

* +3 Coroca Seed
* +5 Gnome Mushroom seed
* +6 Green Claw seed

Mori also teaches Kai the  Spooky Song, which is the last growing song needed to plant all seven gardens. Nonno taught her this song when her husband died, saying that it had helped Nonno in the aftermath of Dora and Gaia moving away. Mori leaves the Temple after sharing the song, leaving Kai to plant the Temple Garden undisturbed.

## Trivia

* Although Mori is a common surname, it may also be a reference to marimos (moss balls), considering her family's coloration and round build.
* The Tai-Chi that she practices at the Temple was recommended to her by Nonno as a way of assisting with her gout.
Annika Wolf

**Annika Wolf** was a scientist that came to Mutazione years before the start of the game. She fell in love with Yoké, and after a year they realized she was pregnant with his child. At around this time she grew distant, potentially out of fears of bearing a half-mutant, and potentially in concern for how her relationship with Yoké could affect her work.

On the same night as a great argument between the scientists and the islanders, Wolf left RD with Yoké before going to join her fellow scientists. She did not survive the night.
Croquet's New Friend

"**Croquet's New Friend**" is the eighth episode of Toca Life Stories. The YouTube video refers to be titled "**Nari's Imaginary Friend**."

## Description

Nari tries to catch a glimpse of the Crumpets but her imaginary friend, Croquet, has his eyes set on Leon. Croquet might try to eat Leon unless Nari is able to do something about it.

Chapter 6: Ritual

**Chapter 6: Ritual** begins on Saturday morning as Kai leaves Nonno's Home to meet the Dots. As she scales the Papu Tree she meets Dennis by the Dot Garden, and he teaches her the  Euphoria Prayer . Kai continues on to the Dot village, then returns to grow Red Ti Plants to replace the Dots' lost harvest.

Having made friends with the Dots, Kai's next step is to find Entheogen. She goes to Jell-A, who directs her to the outside of the Mall, teaches her the  Otherworldly Oratorio, and sends her to grow the Cave Garden. Equipped with newly harvested Evanescence, Kai returns to the Dot Village and receives a totem from the Dot Shaman. In the background of all of this, Spike and Miu make up after their recent fight, and Claire asks Spike out on a date. As the night's ritual approaches, Miu and Yoke are apprehensive, and they both warn Kai of its dangers. Kai worries, but refuses to stop.

She meets Nonno at his hut, and they perform the ritual to go on their spirit journey. As they begin, the Spirit World manifests as a museum gallery of things Nonno can't move past, and he freezes until he disappears. When Kai wakes, Nonno is in a coma and Miu is drawing Kai away from him. She tends to Nonno and sends Kai for help. Kai goes to Yoke, who sends Kai to call Gaia (in case Nonno doesn't wake), and then to Mori, who would take care of the rest of their needs.

Kai finds Mori at the Temple Garden. When Mori learns what happened she teaches Kai the  Spooky Song, then leaves to spread the word and help tend to Nonno.

The chapter ends on Sunday at Dawn as Mori leaves Kai by the Temple Garden.

**<** Chapter 5: Swamp Island Chapter 7: Bloom **>**
Chapter 5: Swamp Island

**Chapter 5: Swamp Island** begins on Friday at Dawn as Kai, Tung, and Miu float through the Swamp in Tung's boat. Tung sings the  Wanderlust Waltz and asks Kai to grow Wubjen Root, which indirectly prompts her to plant Tung's Garden. They then stop at a small, nameless island and chat before returning home.

As Kai plants the garden she learns from Yoke and Jell-A about the dangers guarding the Papu Tree's roots, most particularly including the Fung. She also checks in on the ways the Islanders are reeling from Miu's surprise revelation of Spike's feelings towards Clarie the night before, eventually seeing Spike and Miu make up. As a counterpoint, Ailin's impending revelation looms throughout the day, concluding explosively with Ailin and Graubert's private talk about it, followed by Graubert's public reveal of Ailin's infidelity.

Later that night, Kai has nightmares of Nonno flickering and vanishing, RD burning his house down, and Karoo appearing to her and delivering more warnings. In the morning Nonno dismisses her dreams as a result of nerves over their trip to the Spirit World and redirects her to preparing for their upcoming ritual, giving her two tasks.

The chapter ends on Saturday morning as Kai goes to meet the Dots as part of the first of these tasks.

**<** Chapter 4: Bath Day Chapter 6: Ritual **>**
Tung's Garden

> *"I guess maybe the air feels fresher? Like a sea breeze. My dad always said the sea smelled like adventure."* -Tung
>
>

This garden is behind Tung's House adjacent to the same lot where Tung has been storing and fixing his father's old boat. It has a pool built to catch rainwater.

Kai is prompted to plant this garden when Tung asks for Wubjen Root to add to his boat's paint.

**Mood:**  Wanderlust

**Soil Types:**  Soil,  Water,  Wall,  Rock,  Sand
Miu

Screenshot of Miu

**Miu** is a cat-like mutant on Mutazione. She hunts for the community at night and can be found cleaning the carcasses afterwards in her small house above Nonno's. She enjoys loud music and swimming in a secret glade, and feels out of her depth around displays of emotion.

She was fostered by Spike while she was growing up, and the two of them are still close. She is good friends with Tung, and once had a family with Yoké's son, RD.

She invites Kai to go swimming in a secret pool in the wilderness. Kai seems to have a crush on her, and it is unclear if Miu is aware.

## History

Several years ago she was living with RD, who was learning to be a shaman from Nonno. RD grew impatient, and rushed an element of his training enough to fracture his mind. He attacked Miu and their children without warning, setting their house on fire. All three children died and RD disappeared, leaving Miu and the rest of the villagers reeling.

The house she used to share with RD had a garden behind it. The house and its ruins have been left untouched since the fire, and the garden fell into disuse.

Miu, Tung, and Spike are in a band together and have been playing regularly at Spike's Bar. Miu plays the electric guitar and sings.

## Gardening

Miu teaches Kai the growing song Melancholy Melody while they're swimming in the wilderness. Later, Kai regrows the garden behind Miu's former home and gifts her a Blackpool Lily, which help Miu reach a new stage in healing from the grief of the incident.

Historically, Miu and Nonno used to grow Ghost Flower and Phydora in this garden.
Bath House

The **Bath House** is owned and run by Ailin, and its complete name is *Hair & Claw Salon and Bathhouse*. It is a major part of Ailin's life on the island, whether because it is where she tends to other villagers (like helping Miu with her fur, Claire prepare for her date, or Nonno recover himself as he becomes more active), or because of the work she's put into maintaining it despite its occasional problems (like the sewage issue).

The Bath House is located at the foot of the Papu Tree, directly adjacent to the Town Square and across the way from Yoke's House. Like Mori's Stirfry, the sign for the Bath House shows a different name than what is written on Kai's Map.
Gorm

**Gorm** was Tung's father and Claire's husband. He disappeared years ago, and at first his family worried that he had perished at sea, like Mori's late husband. It became clear eventually that he had not died but instead had abandoned his family.

Claire sees that in hindsight her relationship with Gorm was miserable before he left, and she regrets not having acted on this earlier. Tung frequently wonders what his father would think of his actions, and eventually decides that it doesn't matter, and he must make his own way. Dennis was a friend of Gorm and felt his own degree of betrayal at his abandonment, stepping forward to help raise Tung in his absence.

Gorm once had a boat called the *Fortitude*. He prized his ship and eventually left the island aboard it, leaving behind the much more neglected boat that Tung later refurbishes.
Blackpool Lily

**Blackpool Lily** is a plant required to progress in story mode. Protagonist Kai has to grow the flower for Miu.

Because it requires water, its growth is limited in the Cloud Garden in Garden Mode.

## Encyclopedia Entry

### Description

A rhizomatous aquatic herb which produces an elegant and fragrant flower that grows amidst elliptical dark green leaves. The flower is traditionally used by those who menstruate, as tea made from the petals of the plant can relax uterine cramps. The alternative name "Gentle Word" is thought to arise from its soothing properties. It can be found 2 sections into the wilderness.

### Uses

The use of the Blackpool Lily Flower tea is one of the oldest-known natural remedies in the local area. Drinking the tea relieves menstrual cramps and reduces or eliminates phantom contractions

### Nonno's Notes

The scent is also fragrant and affecting.

Temple Garden

> *"This place. It's full of ghosts."'* - Mori

>

The **Temple Garden** is planted just outside of the Temple on the outskirts of town, and is the last of the seven gardens to be planted. Mori visits the area often to practice Tai-Chi, and Ailin occasionally picks berries nearby.

Mori prompts Kai to plant the garden as a way of calming down. It is the only garden that has no crop that must be harvested.

Ailin

Screenshot of Ailin

**Ailin** is a mutant on Mutazione who owns the island's Bath House. She is pregnant, and the identity of the baby's father becomes a source of intrigue. Additionally her relationship with Graubert (the baby's initially assumed father) deteriorates early in the story, culminating in the revelation that Tung is the infant's father, and Ailin would rather be in a relationship with neither of them.

Ailin runs the *Hair & Claw Salon and Bathhouse*. She enjoys spending time with the other villagers when she's not there, and currently holds the highest score on the arcade game in Spike's Bar. Her favorite place to think alone is at the Lighthouse.

## Gardening

Ailin prompts Kai to grow the Beach Garden when she asks Kai for Coroca sap to replace the materials she uses in Nonno's bath. The new garden is near the lighthouse that Ailin favors, and she says later that the garden revitalized the area.
Chapter 4: Bath Day

**Chapter 4: Bath Day** begins on Thursday morning as Kai leaves the Bath House to grow Coroca for Nonno's bath. As the day progresses Kai sees that the island is filled with delight over Nonno's recovering health, and with rising tension and anticipation for ongoing plans (Ailin and what she'll do when Graubert returns, Kai about Nonno's cryptic teaching efforts, and Miu and the tape she'll play for Claire that night.)

Kai goes to Mori for Coroca seeds and is sent to spend time with Tung until they're ready. Tung tells Kai about his boat's progress and invites her to its upcoming maiden voyage with Miu, which Kai accepts. Kai returns to Mori and collects the seeds she needs, then plants the Beach Garden near the Lighthouse, delivering the new plants to Ailin afterwards. Later that afternoon Kai speaks with Ailin at the Lighthouse, and Ailin confides in her that her baby isn't Graubert's, but Tung's.

Still reeling from the news, Kai talks with Nonno about the garden she's just planted, and they fight. Kai goes to Spike's Bar to cool off, calling her Mom, but the call isn't as comforting as she'd hoped. After the call Miu puts an old tape of Spike's to play for Claire and the other patrons. This is without Spike's permission, and when Claire hears a secret love song he'd written for her, both she and Spike are mortified. Claire flees and Miu finds herself in trouble with Spike.

Kai leaves and checks on Claire, then goes home to sleep. She dreams of the radio tower behind Tung's home, then of a garden floating in the sky. Someone calls her name, and when she wakes Miu is there, helping her get up on time for the upcoming boat trip.

The chapter ends on Friday at dawn Kai arrives at the docks.

Moods

Plants and fungi of Mutazione sing, and according to a mood. Each of the flora can only have one Mood.

In story mode, a melody of a specific mood can be played on the drum to accelerate growth of flora of similar mood. In Garden mode, this is replaced by the Time Controls and Mood Controls.

## Pacific

The first mood to be unlocked in story mode. Flora of this mood prefer soil.

## Melancholia

The second mood to be unlocked in story mode. Its signature is the Blackpool Lily, the favorite of Miu. Flora of this mood prefer water and wetlands.

## Harsh

The third mood to be unlocked in story mode. Flora of this mood prefer rock, wall and sand.

## Wanderlust

Flora that inspire an urge to travel and see more that the world offers.

## Euphoria

Beautiful flora that appear vivid and passionate.

## Otherworldly

Delicate, strange, almost alien plants and fungi.

## Spooky

Plants that may inspire fear in the beholders.
Wild Grass

*Old Man's Chest*

Habitat & Cultivation

**Soil:** Regular soil, sand/beach

**Found:** Grows in most places, favoring gardens, rooftops, and beachy areas

**Parts Harvested:** Grass Bundle

Very common and often considered a weed. Largely unremarkable in appearance, featuring yellowish linear upstanding leaves. It can however be usefully harvested for the leaf oil, which has expectorant properties, presumably the reason for the alternative name "Old Man's Chest."

## **Uses**

Wild Grass can be macerated and mixed with honey to help treat chesty coughs, and to help bring up spores or other dangerous substances that might have been inhaled by a patient.
Dracaena

**Dracaena** is a plant required to progress in story mode. Kai has to grow it for Nonno.

## Encyclopedia Entry

### Description

Dracaena is a leafy, flowering plant from the palm family, reaching up to 32' tall. Locals avoid the plant, saying that it somehow makes the surrounding areas feel uncanny. The leaves can be ingested but can have radical effects, sometimes giving a dying creature a new lease on life, and sometimes proving immediately fatal.

### Nonno's Notes

Seems to grow around the Temple area, east of the village.

Home

**Home** is the house that Nonno lives in, and it's where Kai stays as his guest. Its location is halfway up the trunk of the Papu Tree, with Miu's home spanning over half the roof. The other half of the roof is held by the Rooftop Garden.

Nonno can be found inside his home while he is bedridden, and stays near it as he recovers. There are mentions of him tending to the Rooftop Garden while Kai's mother Gaia was a child, implying that he's lived in this home since arriving on the island.
Euphoria

> *"I am going to use an ancient mantra to calm my soul."* -Dennis
>
>

**Euphoria** is one of the seven moods used to grow gardens. The song for this mood is the Euphoric Prayer, and is taught by Dennis in Chapter Six as he tries to meditate despite Kai and the Dot's disturbances, as well as his own stress.

The garden centered around this mood is the Dot Garden, and it is planted to resolve the crop troubles the Dots had after a bird stole their harvest. Shortly after, Claire asks Spike on a date, and their relationship takes a turn for the better, and the island's mood overall is uplifting.

## Flora

The flora aligned with this mood are:

* Anarcadia
* Blue Horsetail
* Emperess
* Firethorn
* Golden Palm
* Kolooka
* Milkfruit Tree
* Notte Fern
* Red Ti Plant
* Paradise Tongue
* Snake Plant
* Spotted Kunga
* Wall Sprout
* Milkfruit Tree
* W'ppoer Plant
* Wyvern Egg
Chapter 8: Reunion

**Chapter 8: Reunion** begins on Monday afternoon as Kai goes to tell everyone about the group photo Spike wants to take. The chapter is short, and focuses on Kai as she speaks to everyone at the end of her adventures, turning her thoughts towards the future.

The chapter ends as the photo is taken, and the credits roll.

**<** Chapter 7: Bloom
Chapter 3: The Wild

**Chapter 3: The Wild** begins on Wednesday morning as Kai enters the Wilderness to go swimming with Miu. She has to search first for their meeting place, a secret swimming hole, and along the way she encounters a mysterious white deer. After a brief meeting the deer bolts, showing Kai the right route in the process.

Kai finds Miu, and they spend time swimming and talking. There are hints about the day's date being significant to Miu, but no explanation, and eventually the conversation subsides, and they part ways. Kai returns to the village and speaks with Nonno, who drops more hints about the day's significance and asks her to replant the East Garden. Kai does so, and Miu is deeply moved by the gesture and its timing. They talk again, and by evening Miu seems invigorated, talking in vague terms about her plans to give Spike and Claire a push towards each other.

That night Kai has unsettling of Karoo, Manii's poem, and the Mall's entrance, and as she wakes she discovers a large beatle crawling on her in her sleep, and she shouts, waking Nonno.

When they've both gotten up for the day, Kai goes with Nonno as he leaves the house for the first time since his illness began. They go to the Bath House for him to freshen up, and he and Ailin begin talking about Ailin's pregnancy.

The chapter ends on Thursday morning as Ailin sends Kai off to grow Coroca while she and Nonno talk.

Yoké

Screenshot of Yoké

**Yoké** (also **Yoke**) is an old mutant that keeps the Archives on Mutazione orderly. He is a good friend of Nonno, and to a lesser degree Mori. He is an important resource for Kai when it comes to information, whether it's historical codes and secrets or local gossip.

He is passionate about his work as an editor and archivist. He must use a wheelchair to move around, which means his schedule is nested around when others can help him change locations, and he cannot visit Nonno in his home.

## History

Yoke is a mutant from Mutazione. When the Expedition of scientists arrived on the island, Yoke fell in love with Annika Wolf at first sight, and within a year they were expecting a child. Their relationship began to sour at this time, and when Annika perished in an accident with most of the Expedition, Yoke was left to raise RD as a single father.

Yoke and Nonno have long been best friends, and were once diligent catalogues of local flora, with Yoke illustrating and Nonno taking notes.

A few years before Kai's arrival on the island, RD suffered a mental break from his work as a shaman-apprentice, attacking his family and destroying his home, vanishing in the aftermath. Yoke has never fully recovered from this loss.

## Gardening

Yoke passes Nonno's encyclopedia on to Kai, which prompts her to begin collecting seeds for gardening.

Kai asks him several times about gardening; unfortunately he doesn't have the answers she's looking for.

## Trivia

* Yoké can play the harpsichord that sits in his archives.
Princess

**Princess** is a dramatic mutant that lives in a series of air vents nestled against the Papu Tree's roots with Dennis. Though she is never visible, Kai hears her voice carrying from her pipe frequently throughout the game. Princess is a prima donna personality-wise, frequently scolding Dennis for not spending more time with her and staunchly refusing to leave the comforts of her pipe.

She refuses to talk with anyone except Dennis and Russell, the latter of which being the giant tardigrade-like mutant that spends time in the upper cavern.
Bizzaro Gang

"**Bizzaro Gang**" is the twenty-first episode of Toca Life Stories. The YouTube video refers to be titled "**Meet The Bizzaro Gang**."

## Description
