The Final Chapter
The end of life as they know it looms.
The evil Darkness has finally swallowed the planet whole, blocking out all light. Edgar, Olivia, Gilly, Potter, Feebles, Grace, and Persimmon have set out on a journey across the desert wasteland.
Their mission: return to the Factory.Where Edgar's journey began… and where the true heart of the infamous World Machine exists.
Their only hope is to penetrate the dark core of the Factory, which has lain dormant for years. If it were to awaken, would that spell doom? Or is this truly the answer to their problems?
