You step from a Barcelona street into a room that feels more like a private gallery than a game: dim light skims strange canvases, and the air smells faintly of old varnish and coffee. The scenario drops you into 1985, with a cold case of missing body parts and a police team that never closed the file. The set design leans on the uncanny; props and art pieces act as both clues and misdirection as the clock starts.
