You, the genius scientist—Victoria Gehirnstein—have been trapped here for three months in the woods outside of the medieval town of Leerekopf, after crashing your time machine into a tall tree. You decided to disguise yourself as a witch, gaining the materials and supplies needed by force to rebuild the machine.
While most of the repairs have been completed, you find that you need a power source to travel back in time correctly.
Luckily for you, you are able to source //just// the thing from a nearby village—*brains.*
