You step out of Sacramento City Hall with a small box under your arm and the river’s current low and confident to your left. The game opens like a map: murals, bronze figures, and the angled facades of Old Sacramento waiting to be read. Clues hide in plain sight — a plaque’s line break, a mural’s color change — and the city responds, nudging you down alleys, across the Capitol lawn, toward the railroad tracks where history and modern life intersect.
