Rowan Dreu, a young adult whose only wish is to live a simple life, is forced into another world due to Project Zero.

Upon entry she discovers that she didn't come out in the same place as her best friends, Matthias and Damien. Now, not only does she have to find the Animari (like a mad scientist requested) but also find them too so they can return home together.

If life wasn't hard enough already, something is weird about this world. Perhaps it's the giant blue pig-like creature that's been chasing her for weeks that's wearing her fez. Or maybe it's the screaming foragables, trees that are swinging down to try and kill her, or the large flowers that are constantly gossiping.

No, it's the lack of technology.
