When a man appears from the shadows whispering "Grandmother sends her regards," there's no way you're not hoping for cookies.

But he brought a knife instead. It's not even a cookie cutter knife or, you know, a knife-shaped cookie.

Great, now you're hungry and getting attacked by a mysterious figure who wants you to stop your investigation, even if that requires killing you.
