The two friends Fio and Lyria live in a beautiful and idyllic garden where they plant vegetables and enjoy apple pie, tea and music every day. One day, a mysterious figure enters the garden and wants to hang a new birdhouse. Fio politely declines, as he has just made a birdhouse. At night, the mysterious figure sneaks back into the garden and secretly changes the birdhouse. After this, mysterious things begin to happen to the garden. It becomes more and more mechanical, and Fio and Lyria's friendship is put to the test. The two friends travel underground to a dark and mechanical world. Here they meet the creatures Daddy Potato, a Hacking Robot and a King who controls everything. Will the friends be able to save the garden from becoming completely mechanical?
