The boardwalk creaks underfoot, a wind from the Comstock slopes nudging a loose sign as you tap the screen and listen. Virginia City’s main street unfolds — painted false-fronts, narrow alleys and saloon doors that once swung open on a fevered silver rush — and the app’s narrator begins to point out voices from the past.
