An Odyssey Awaits...

When Lazarus awoke to the wondrous healing powers of a local guru, the spiritual guide mouse Mungus, he did not remember who he was, where he was going, or where he had been. Mungus, the accommodating vermin that he was, took in Lazarus and offered all the help he could to restore him to his former strength. For Mungus, the holy keeper of the ancient religions, saw something special in Lazarus and believed that the amnesiac blue bird would be the key to stopping the suffering of Nimbranumbra. So, in a selfish, exploitative fashion, Mungus sent Lazarus into the depths of an interdimensional rift—a bridge between the asteroid islands of Nimbranumbra and a world void of color known simply as the “Frameworks.” What followed was an epic tale of discovery and deceit, romance and adventure, laughter and tears.
