A city square hums with tram bells and the distant rumble of the Danube. The player starts at a bronze statue on a broad boulevard, phone in hand, and the streets of Pest unfold like a map of clues: ornate parliament steps glint under a low sun, a basilica’s dome watches from afar, and a synagogue’s lamps mark the story’s quiet end. This is a walking game that blends historical fact with fiction—an interactive spoor through Budapest’s central neighborhoods.
