Field notes
The story follows Kesi, who leaves ahead of a divided herd to investigate why its longtime leader has turned toward deeper water. The page describes 12 stopping places between the flood and the dry southern plains, and places the journey inside a puppet-theatre framing with a view from behind the screen. It states a March 12, 2027 release date for three platforms and lists Indonesian text.
