'The Chronicles of Wild Hollow' begins with The Boursin Trilogy. In Episode One, Fandango investigates a high-rolling new nightclub in Fortuna City when Billy Bob's customers are drawn away from Dust Town's favourite saloon. Run entirely by frogs, the Lilypad Lounge continues to prosper night after night. Perhaps it's simply due to their signature martini (it's to die for...) or resident jazz band The Tadpole Trio. But upon closer inspection, Fandango suspects there's far more going on than meets the eye.
