You step off Place Saint-Lambert into a city that talks back: tram bells, the Meuse sparking beyond low stone quays, and narrow streets that hide clues between bakery windows and wrought-iron balconies. The app lights up — a bomb is rumored to be ticking somewhere in town, and you have two hours and a half to chase leads, question suspects and choose the route that will defuse the plot.
