Cutscene/Story Introduction
In the year 2012, a deadly virus has threatened to wipe out mainland Japan through the result of an outbreak at a genetic research facility in Kyoto. The deadly virus affects all adults over the age of 18 but the only asymptomatic carriers (people who carry the disease but show no symptoms)are boys under the age of 10. The government have declared that all boys under the age of 10 are to be quarantined on the island of Kobi.
A few weeks after the exodus of the young boys began, rumours begin to surface that mass genocide is happening on Kobi. Meanwhile, an urban legend grows that a cure that can be found in a place known only as “Utopia” in the city of Osaka. Mizuki, a young sixteen year old streetwise girl loves her little ten year old brother too much to see him die needlessly, even though he’s a pain in the neck most of the time. After hearing the urban legend, Mizuki decides to take him and run away to Osaka to seek out the cure.
Mizuki uses her streetwise tactics to stealthily reach Osaka without detection, and finds out from some local “hideaway” children that Utopia can be found in the mountains on the outskirts. The weary pair travel up the mountains through stormy weather and notice a large silhouette through the fog laden forest. As they come to a clearing, the approach tentatively and see what looks to be an abandoned amusement park with a huge looming sign spelling the name “UTOPIA”
As they enter the eerily silent amusement park, they notice a shimmering light coming from what looks like a fortune teller’s tent. Curiosity draws them into the tent and they’re surprised to see an old woman gazing into a crystal ball. The old woman lifts her eyes to greet the children and says with a croaky and aged voice “They who seek the path of enlightenment from darkness must first pass five dangerous tasks” . Unknown to Mizuki and Taisei, Sora the fortune teller is really a witch under a curse, and even though Sora knows the secret of the cure, her ulterior motives are to harvest their souls to break the curse. And so the adventure begins...

Seconded, I think some places are unnecessarily high-poly, you should optimize it a bit before you call it done.
Sure
