About this mod
Somewhere in the world is a witch who wants to give you a little treat! But is it really a treat...?

On the first morning in game after installing this mod you will wake up to find a mysterious note in your letterbox. If you decide to investigate, you may find a strange witch who would really like to give you a little treat! But beware...sometimes his treats can be tricks!
Apollo is a witch who has a shop that is not currently open for business, but if you can find the entry in the Pelican Town graveyard and go talk to him he will give you some candy! That candy will give you a buff for the rest of the day. However, sometimes it will give you a debuff instead (and some of them can be pretty debilitating, so be warned!)

Info for judges (or if you're just lost):
- Head to tile 43, 90 in Town (just in front of the bottom gravestone) or 44, 89 if you're using SVE. You should warp to a cluttered shop full of critters and a smoking cauldron of pink goop.
- Go find the shopkeeper, who may be in his little house behind the shop if it's before 7am or after 7pm.
- The shopkeeper is called Apollo Mongoose and he randomly chooses between blue, purple, or green skin every day.
- Talk to Apollo and you should receive one Mysterious Candy.
- Eat the Mysterious Candy and receive a random buff (or debuff!) for the end of the day. The duration can be adjusted in the config.
- That's it! Enjoy the rest of your buffed day or bemoan the rest of your debuffed day and come back again tomorrow for another random (de)buff.
Config
- Manage config options easily with GMCM
- Change the duration of the buffs between: all day, 10 minutes (real time), 7 minutes, 5 minutes, or 2 minutes
