About Hameln

Welcome to the 13th Century town of Hameln (Hamlyn). Townspeople go about the business of living - buying houses, having children, marrying, earning an honest coin and trying to get one up on their neighbors. However, their way of life is under threat…a plague of rats has arrived. As the number of rats rise the levels of food and romantic thoughts dwindle… where is the Pied Piper when you need him ?
