He/sheThey comescome across the [[Broken Wings]] and findsfind a map in the plane wreckage. Then after more exploring he/shethey will reach [[Simian City]], meetingwhere they meet three [[orangutan]]s; [[Waiata]], [[Puna]] and [[Tiki]]. The protagonist finds a mysterious idol under the orangutans' tree, but gets attacked by Waiata for trying to take it. After feeding the orangutans banana's, he/shethe protagonist may take the idol. Back at the camp, the protagonist calls the idol Spaulding and starts talking to it, probably a sign of loneliness. Later, Waiata shows up at the camp and the protagonist decides to adopt her.

Next day, the protagonist finds a gem at the Broken Wings that fits in Spaulding's missing spot. Upon placing the gem, Spaulding breathes a yellow gas, which causes the protagonist to get sick from a mysterious disease. Later, he/shethey comescome across the [[Shady Lagoon]] and findsfind a medicine box in the hut, containing a cure for the disease. The hut also has some old parachute ropes laying around for him/herthem to use as a rope to tie the logs of the raft together. The protagonist prefers the Shady Lagoon over his/hertheir camp at Castaway Beach and decides to move to the lagoon.

Later, the protagonist goes to explore and finds the [[Primeval Shrine]], which looks like it has an altar designed to hold Spaulding. Upon placing Spaulding at the altar, a door opens leading the protagonistthem to the [[Barren Banks]].

The protagonist decides to go look for him and travels through [[The Swamp]] to [[The Boneyard]], where he/shethey findsfind the Professor. Professor Rhinehart says he has been studying the island and its natives for years and helps the protagonist with thetheir raft. The protagonist picks up a bone at The Boneyard and then follows Professor Rhinehart to [[The Crossroads]], where a post is laying around that proves to be useful as a mast for the raft. The protagonist returns to Castaway Beach to secure the mast. Professor Rhinehart shows up to look at the raft and the protagonist invites him over for a meal at the Shady Lagoon to thank him for his help.

Later that day, Professor Rhinehart shows up at the Shady Lagoon with all the other survivors. The protagonist doesn't like the others much, since they are useless and disrespectful, especially Hugh Bailey. But Professor Rhinehart insists to stay nice to them, because they might need their help, but to not tell them about the raft. The protagonist agrees and cooks a meal for everyone. Later that evening, Professor Rhinehart shows up again and suggests the protagonist to cut long grass at the [[Scavenger Fields]] to weave a sail for the raft.

The next morning, the protagonist heads off to the Scavenger Fields andto cutscut the long grass with the machete. After cutting all the grass that is needed, [[Nanihi Manave]] shows up and climbsgets inchased into a tree while being chased by three [[hyena]]s; [[Taro]], [[Wairua]], and [[Patupaiarehe]]. The protagonist throws the bone that he/shethey had picked up at The Boneyard to distract the hyenas and save Nanihi. WhoAfter that, she thanks the protagonist and tells him/herthem that she is the daughter of the native tribe's chief and toinvites comethem visitto the village.

The protagonist travels to the [[Village Market]], where [[Rarahu Anuata]] greets him/herthem. The protagonist has to meet and befriend four natives here; [[Emobi Whetu]], [[Kiri Roimata]], [[Orama Herenui]] and [[Timoti Fekitoa]]. After that, Nanihi's mother [[Huhana Manave]] greets the protagonist and thanks him/herthem for saving her daughter. She also decidesinsists to startweave weaving thetheir raft's sail for him/herthem.

The protagonist then travels to the [[Village Harbor]], where he/shethey hashave to meet and befriend four more natives; [[Ahio Heimata]], [[Akolo Mamanu]], [[Rainui Heimata]] and [[Tumata Tehea]]. After that, Nanihi's father Chief [[Fangaloka Manave]] greets the protagonist and thanks him/herthem for saving his daughter. He then invites him/herthem to the tribe's Volcano Festival as his honorable guest.

When the protagonist arrives at the Volcano Festival at [[The Hot Springs]], Fangaloka gifts him/herthem a shell (that functions as a phone). The protagonist has to call and choose one of the befriended natives as their date for the festival. During their date at The Hot Springs, the chosen native will explain the history of the tribe and the Volcano Festival to the protagonist. Saying that the Volcano Festival is the most sacred celebration of the tribe. The festival marks the day that the volcano first rose from the sea. Intact with plants, animals and theirthe island's tribe. The first chief emerged seated on his throne, the first shaman, his staff in hand by the chief's side. [[List_of_minor_Sims#Tuku_Tuzu|Tuku Tuzu]], the first shaman, was very powerful. He and the chief loved each other like brothers. When the first chief died of old age, Tuku Tuzu went mad with grief. He became obsessed with making a potion to cheat death itself. Instead, he became consumed by his greed and lust for power. The festival was a time of second chances. A time to witness the true power of the volcano, the tribe, and love. The protagonist's date also tells him/herthem that several years ago, shaman [[Amanaki Tama]] invited outsiders to witness the festival. And that the next day, the shaman lost his greatest power. The tribe believes it was either taken back by the volcano or stolen by the outsiders. After the power of the volcano was stolen, the festival became a time to celebrate life and court a mate. After the festival ends, Chief Fangaloka invites the protagonist to live among the tribe if he/shethey wisheswish. The protagonist still has to think about it. Worrying that he/shethey will like it too much and may never leave.

When the protagonist gets back to his/hertheir home at the Shady Lagoon, he/shethey noticesnotice that the other survivors had moved in as well and rearranged the whole place. After confronting Hugh Bailey, he/shethe protagonist has had enough and moves out. The protagonist tells Professor Rhinehart that he/shethey can't deal with those people, which he finds perfectly understandable. The protagonist also tells him to keep the others away from the raft and that he/shethey isare going to room with the villagers.

After moving out, the protagonist and Waiata are taken to their new home, the [[Village Residence]]. The [[Manave family]] members and the protagonist's date are there. The raft was also found and taken there by the tribe. [[Huhana Manave]] tells the protagonist that she has finished weaving the sail and gifts it to him/herthem. After attaching the sail to the raft, the protaginist's date turning lover tells him/herthem to stop living in the past and think about the here and now, suggesting him/herthem to stay, and leaves. Chief Fangaloka tells the protagonist that he will have his people make a rudder for thetheir raft if thethey protagonist completescomplete a task for him. Fangaloka tells him/herthey that theirthe tribe's [[The Forbidden Village|old village]] was abondoned because of a curse, which took many lives. In theirhis haste, he left his sacred drums behind and wants the protagonist to fetch it for him, because shaman Amanaki Tama won't let anyone from the tribe go back to the old village. He might allow the protagonist, an outsider, to go. The protagonist then explores [[The Jungle]] and finds the shaman's apprentices; [[Patariki Hina]] and [[Afi Mohea]], who are guarding the entrance to the [[Creepy Hollow]] where the shaman is. He/sheThe protagonist is allowed through.

The protagonist meets the shaman, Amanaki Tama, and tells him that the Chief has sent himthem to ask for permission to enter [[The Forbidden Village|the abandoned village]]. Shaman Amanaki says that no one may enter, lest the curse overtake them all. The protagonist asks if the curse effects him/herthem too, to which the shaman replies that the volcano's wrath effects even outlanders too and that no one is safe until the stolen idol is returned to the temple. The protagonist realises Spaulding is the idol and may enter the abandoned village if he/shethey returns with the idol. However, when the protagonist goes back to the Primeval Shrine where they left Spaulding, the idol is missing from the altar. The protagonist will find it again in Simian City, where it was initially found. The orangutans seem to like the idol a lot and took it back. The protagonist then returns with Spaulding to the Creepy Hollow. Shaman Amanaki tells the protagonistthem that to enter [[The Forbidden Village]], he/shethey must travel to The Crossroads and pass by the jaguar, [[Mata]]. He says that Mata means "the eye", for she is ever watchful and no one slips by her. He also says that the protagonist must charm Mata with a leaf of the nepeta plant, which grows on the lot. The protagonist takes a leaf and heads off to The Crossroads, where he/shethey tamestame Mata and passespass her.

In the Forbidden Village, the protagonist opens the baskets while looking for the sacred drums and discovers three ghosts; [[Anaru Unutea]], [[Poehina Vaianu]] and [[Piripi Fainga]]. The ghosts request for their urns to be placed at the altars. After doing so, the protagonist will find the sacred drums in the basket of the chief's hut. WhenAfter he/she returnsreturning the drums to Chief Fangaloka, he will call for a celebration at [[Hullaba Luau]].

At [[Hullaba Luau]], the protagonist greets his/hertheir lover with a kiss and follows the customs of the natives' luau, which include; drinking the volcano water, dancing the limbo, and walking the hot coals. After thatcompleting these for their lover, they kiss again and fall in love. Chief Fangaloka declares the protagonist friend of the tribe and gifts him the promised rudder for the raft. Huhana tells the protagonist that when the raft is completed and he/shethey returns to his/hertheir land, the appreciation of the tribe will go with him/herthem. The protagonist's lover gets upset over them leaving and runs away. Huhana tells the protagonist to not worry and that his/hertheir lover will forgive him/herthem and learn to forget. Suddenly the volcano erupts and the Chief orders everyone to get back to their huts. When the protagonist gets home he/shethey wonderswonder if this is his/hertheir home now or if home is still back in the city. His/herTheir lover feels more like home than any actual place.

When the protagonist wakes up next morning, he/shethey makesmake up his/hertheir mind. The protagonistThey worked hard on thetheir raft and it made sense at the time, but he/shethey hashave it so good here now with his/hertheir lover. The protagonist decides to go tell his/hertheir lover that he/shethey isare staying. At the Village Harbor, the protagonist runs into Nanihi, who tells him/herthem that her father is in The Jungle. When arriving in The Jungle, the protagonist's lover tells the protagonistthem to stay away and claims to be cursed by the volcano, coming out here to die alone to protect the village. Rarahu saysinterrupts by saying that it is too late and that the curse has already spread to others in the village. Chief Fangaloka says theyeveryone must flee and that theythe havetribe has experienced the curse before. Nanihi then says that she brought the curse to the old village by accident, when she took the idol. She says it breathed yellow smoke, so she threw it in the jungle and then the curse appeared. The protagonist realises that the curse is the same as the disease he/shethey got from Spaulding and cured with the medicine back at the Shady Lagoon. To convince the natives that it's a disease and no curse, the protagonist kisses his/hertheir "cursed" lover. Suddenly, the sound of a volcano eruption is heard and lava starts pouring out of the monkey statue's fountain. Chief Fangaloka yells that the protagonist has angered the volcano, but then notices that the curse has no effect on him/herthem. The protagonist tells the Chief that a medicine cured the disease and caused immunity, but there is no medicine left and he/shethey must quickly retrieve more from his/hertheir civilization to safe the villagerstribe. The protagonist tells his/hertheir lover about the decision to stay, to which his/hertheir lover replies that he/shethey will stay strong and wait for the protagonist to come back. TheyAfter saysaying goodbye and, the protagonist returns to thetheir raft back at the Village Residence to prepare for the journey.

When the protagonist gets back home at the Village Residence, Professor Rhinehart shows up. He had been looking for the protagonist, because the raft had vanished from Castaway Beach and he is glad to now see it's here. The protagonist quickly explains the situation to the professor, but then the volcano erupts, causing the raft's sail to catch fire and burn up. Professor Rhinehart tells the protagonist to not worry and that there is a [[The Abandoned Research Base|research base]] on the island where he/shethey might be able to find a replacement sail. The protagonist gets mad at the professor for not telling him/herthem about this research base earlier. Professor Rhinehart apologizes and says that at his age, his mind is not what it used to be. The protagonist then travels to [[The Abandoned Research Base]] and finds a replacement sail.

After protagonist gets back and applies the sail to the raft, Professor Rhinehart shows up again. He tells the protagonist that the idol from which the disease came, protected the [[The House of Tuzu|temple]]. And that the cure must be inside the temple itself, but it's been sealed for a long time. He also says that to open the temple, they need the Staff of Tuzu, which is hidden in a petrified tree on Volcano Island. The protagonist is suspicious about the professor knowing all this, but Professor Rhinehart says there is no time to explain. The protagonist takes the risk to believe him and sails to Volcano Island, while Professor Rhinehart goes to tell the Chief about their plan. The protagonist strands on the [[Volcano Shores]] and travels through [[The Lava Pools]] to get to [[The Petrified Forest]], where he/shethey findsfind the Staff of Tuzu. Then another volcano eruption occurs causing the way back to collapse and the protagonist has to follow another path, bringing him/herthem to [[Dead Man's Cove]]. Here, the protagonist finds a man laying on the ground and wonders whether he is dead or not. After helping him, he tells the protagonist that he is [[Bart Pittman]], chief engineer on the Queen Solomon. Pittman reveals, in his last breath, that Professor Rhinehart is responsible for the Queen Solomon's shipwreck. Rhinehart had bribed Pittman to get into the engine room of the cruise ship, where he caused an explosion that ultimately sank the ship. Bart Pittman dies on the spot and the protagonist returns to the [[Village Harbor]] to find the Professor. Once there, Chief Fangaloka tells the protagonistsays that Rhinehart is waiting for him/herthe protagonist at [[The House of Tuzu]].

When the protagonist arrives at The House of Tuzu, he/shethey confrontsconfront Professor Rhinehart. It turns out, he doesn't know whether there is a cure inside the temple or not and only used the protagonistthem to get inside. Professor Rhinehart reveals that, years ago, he had been to Felicity Island before and has been trying to get into The House of Tuzu ever since. When he witnessed its power, he became determined to steal the Staff of Tuzu. Rhinehart managed to steal it, but the natives drove him from the island before he had the opportunity to use it. Before he left, Rhinehart sealed the House of Tuzu with the staff and hid it in The Petrified Forest. He then planned to return to the island somehow and finally use the staff to open the House of Tuzu and use its power. In the end, using the Staff of Tuzu at the House of Tuzu, the protagonist opens Rhinehart's way to eternal life. Once Rhinehart drinks from the Chalice of Youth and turns into an [[adult]], Shaman Amanaki shows up. He tells the protagonist he/shethat hasthey have the power to choose Rhinehart's fate with the staff. The player is given the choice either to banish Rhinehart or reward him by giving him youth, ironically by turning him into a [[toddler]]. After that, the protagonist and Shaman Amanaki return to the Village Harbor and Amanaki tells the protagonist that he/shethey also hashave the power to heal his/hertheir lover. The protagonist uses the staff to cure the disease and savessave the tribe. Out of gratitude, Shaman Amanaki appoints the protagonist as his successor. From this time forward, the protagonist is the shaman of the tribe. The protagonist then proposes to his/hertheir lover. After their engagement, the other survivors from back at the lagoon show up. Hugh Bailey tells the protagonist that it looks way better here in the village and wants to move intoin with the villagetribe as well. The protagonist isn't so sure about that, which offends Hugh. HeWho then insists on taking the raft and leaving, but then a helicopter arrives. The helicopter is there to deliver a package for Professor Rhinehart, which containscontaining a weather control device, which was part of the evil project Rhinehart was working on at The Abandoned Research Base to set himself up as an immortal volcano god. However, the protagonist receives the package instead. Hugh Bailey, Gina Gibson and Sandra Barnham get in the helicopter to go home, but Robby Smith and Emma Langsford decide to stay on the island. At the end, the protagonist and his/hertheir lover get married.
