Storyline

The last glow of the sun has long since faded. Night rests over Harderwijk, and the harbor is wrapped in darkness. Only the splash of water against the botters and the creak of ropes break the silence. Your eyes slowly adjust to the darkness. Then you notice a figure. A man with a red beard, an eyepatch, and a cobalt blue shirt. It is none other than Wilde Willem. Tonight, you will meet him.
