Sanctuary Pocket Adventures

Play this era: Defrosting Season

A snowy village where a goblin keeps hiding the calendar.

A short two-to-four minute retro adventure made for this museum. Unofficial fan-made fantasy with original artwork, music and dialogue; the villains are invented caricatures, not real people. Sound is off until you switch it on.
