You step off the bus into Galway’s compact streets, phone in hand and a case to crack. Cobbled lanes glint with sea-spray and rain; voices from a nearby pub bleed into the square. The game drops you into a fictional murder — clues tucked beneath arches, notes hidden by statues — and asks you to think like Holmes while the city itself becomes your stage.
