AHA! I … accidentally didn't get all the food parcels from the farmer? I thought I'd gotten enough, but apparently you need to empty the box even if you feed everyone and have extra left over for yourself.
Great, you should be able to enter the bassement then and give the tavern enough food parcels to be stored for the weeks ahead. From there the quests fall into place, good luck and let me know how you get on.
Glad you enjoyed the game. The story is based on real life events and I am glad you enjoyed. Why not try the other games...? I will make another part to this mini series hopefully this year.
