The Capybara's Haunted Halloween Quest

Kip is about to experience something big... his very first magical Halloween adventure.

With his slightly crooked witch hat, a brightly glowing pumpkin bucket, and a heart full of curiosity and quiet nerves, Kip the capybara steps away from the safety of his riverbank and into a misty, teal-lit woodland filled with floating ghosts, glowing jack-o'-lanterns, and unexpected moments. What begins as pure excitement upon searching for the legendary Haunted Mansion on the hill slowly turns into uncertainty, as the shadowy Midnight Thicket looms ahead and everything feels spookier and unfamiliar.

Through simple yet meaningful experiences, Kip discovers that courage is not about being fearless, but about moving forward at your own calm pace and embracing the magic of Halloween even when you feel unsure.

Will Kip find the strength to uncover the glowing surprise waiting at the top of the hill? Can a spooky new place become a place of belonging and fun? And what will he learn about himself along the way?
