Premise

The city of Hamelin has been overrun by rats! One day, the desperate townsfolk hire a mysterious piper to rid the streets of the infestation. But when the city refuses to pay for his services, the piper seeks revenge.

In this story, you play the role of the Pied Piper, using your magic music to lure the rats toward the Weser river. But you know how the tale goes and let’s just say that the rats are not the only small creatures drawn to your magical tune.

By day, you roam the streets, carrying out your duties as a rat catcher. Rats follow your tune when you are close enough but so do the children of Hamelin. Luckily, there are jesters’ carriages passing through town to catch the attention of the children. Your task is to gather as many rats as possible while avoiding children, then lead the rats to the riverbank.

But when night falls and the mayor of Hamelin refuses to honor his agreement, everything changes. From that moment on, the Pied Piper is out for vengeance…
