ABOUT CONTACT
The klaxon alarm is shrieking! Something is wrong! The Professor wrestles
his
damaged spaceship to a crash landing on a mysterious planet.
In the aftermath of the crash, The Professor discovers that the power
sources
of his ship, known as Cells, have been scattered across the surface of this
strange
world. To retrieve them all, The Professor enlists the aid of a brave young

will ask for your help during the course of the adventure, using the

itself?
The future of an entire world has been placed in your hands!
