The afternoon light slants across narrow Seoul streets as your phone buzzes with the first clue. You stand near the footprint of Donuimun—one of the city’s lost gates—while the game’s narrative nudges you toward a tucked-away alley, a palace wall, and a museum entrance that feels almost like a set piece. The city becomes both stage and opponent: stone, iron, and bronze pointing the way.
