While on his travels through the woods in the Minecraft Overworld, Steve meets Alex and her rather unusual donkey for the first time. They start off on the wrong foot, getting under each other's skin from the get-go. But even so, they agree to travel together to the next Minecraft village where they both intend to trade with the local villagers. But from the moment they arrive, there's an eerie feeling about the place, and they realize that something is badly wrong when they discover that the village seems to be completely deserted. Where have all the Minecraft villagers gone? What has happened to them?
