Candy Cane Conundrum
Welcome to Canesville! In the middle of a bitter cold wasteland sits a small hamlet that remains warm through the generosity and thoughtfulness held in the heart of every citizen. This is exemplified during the Midwinter festival¸ where a single citizen is granted the responsibility to produce a gift for every citizen in Canesville. This year however¸ volunteer giftmakers have stolen several gifts and are hiding in the frozen wilderness. Adventurers can aid the hamlet by finding the defectors and returning the gifts to their rightful place. Be wary of cunning figures who are keen on also retrieving these highly coveted gifts... Candy Cane Conundrum is a short adventure recounting the tale of a giftmaker that has left their duties and is accused of stealing gifts from the hamlet. Adventurers are expected to travel in the bitter cold to retrieve these gifts back. Players however may find certain characters are not who they claim to be as they embark on this journey.
