The story takes place before the events of the comic. Melanie the Ditto and Lumiere the Smeargle are traveling to Pe'kemon city when they find themselves trapped in a small series of Mystery Dungeons. Melanie can copy any Pokémon she meets, while Lumiere can copy any moves they use. Mix and match their abilities to create Pokémon for your team, and overcome any obstacle you face!

Surely there have to be more people out there interested in making Pokemon Mystery Dungeon fan games! Right?! There has to be... please I really don't want PMD to become a dead series ;-;

You'll need to install Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Origins game (Located in that first Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Origins link at the top of the post) and then put the Zorua Mystery Dungeon folder inside the MODS folder once you've extracted everything. Then, when you start the game, the mod should show up under "Special Episodes".
