Here’s the premise for Wicked Witch of the Woods (spoilers):

Earlier today, a young boy disappeared from the village of Waldheim, lured into the woods by visions of wonderful toys and delicious sweet treats. Now the boy is trapped in the forest cottage of Auntie Rue, a wicked witch who feeds on the tears of terrified children.

With the witch away gathering ingredients for her sinister Nightmare Elixirs, a brief window opens for rescue – if our brave adventurers can navigate the witch’s many dangerous tricks, traps, and minions!
