The Reckless Journey of Santa Claus!   (Mystery Giveaway)
 
 
 
This Christmas, the governor of the GOG Manor is proud to unveil a long-awaited game!  He wishes to offer it to the community, and Santa Claus is responsible for the delivery.

Like many fairy tales, this one has its unfortunate events...  Santa Claus is missing, or more precisely, has been kidnapped by a video game villain.  He's somewhere, with a precious toy in his sack, and we need to find him before Christmas!

The governor needs you!  As a private investigator, your task is to identify the kidnapper, find his / her hideout, and recover the video game.  The first person who gives the correct combination of "game, villain and country" in a single post wins up to $ 10 to spend on GOG.

The game, the villain and the country were randomly chosen with the help of Random.org.  From time to time, I'll give you some hints to narrow down the possibilities.  I've attached the pictures of all the games, villains and countries.  This might be very helpful for some of the upcoming hints.
 
 
Good luck everyone!
