Story

The Kraken

Young adventurer Joyfess Tidesman has been slaying krakens for longer than he could remember. In one of his routine encounters with such a monster, it finally dawned on him that he was no longer excited by what was taking place around him.

The Scroll

His exuberant, once remarkable career suddenly felt no more exciting than peeling a potato. It’s then that Joyfess decided to turn the level of excitement in his life down to the ordinary in an effort to recover his love for sea adventures.

The Nomads

But what’s there to do in the Caribbean besides sailing and piracy? Perhaps that ad he saw about a cooking competition might do well for a start. But given his inability to make ice cubes without a recipe, Joyfess must now figure out how to become a chef... overnight!

The Contest

As it turns out, however, regionally acclaimed Chef Martin accidentally dropped his newest recipe while taking off from the island by a hot air balloon. But how can you find a scroll in an entire jungle… in one day?

The Contest

Joyfess sets off to find out, and the greatest of his adventures awaits as he tries to get that recipe, gather its ingredients and make it to the contest in time… and in one piece.
