## Description
Imagine this: the world has frozen over, hope is a luxury, and you're leading yet another group of desperate scouts searching for any place that isn't a frozen graveyard. The pressure is immense, the cold is biting, and the only thing keeping your team awake is the sheer fear of failure. Suddenly, amidst the infinite white, you spot an abandoned generator. It could be the salvation of everyone or just another cruel mirage. The catch? You're almost out of food and time is running out. You have exactly six days to turn that ruin into something habitable before you must retreat and report your findings.

Side Quest: Frostpunk brings the oppressive atmosphere of 11 Bit Studios' acclaimed video game to the tabletop, crafted by the minds behind the Escape Tales series. This isn't just about luck; it's about your ability to think outside the box. The game blends engaging puzzles, tough moral decisions, and a narrative that pulls you deep into the setting. You'll need sharp perception and a lot of creativity to ensure the generator starts working again and that there are enough resources for survival. It's a test of mental endurance where cooperation is the only way out. Will you manage to turn this place into a new beginning for humanity, or will you just be another group lost in the snow? Get ready to face the harshest winter of your lives in a race against the clock where every single decision matters.
