You unlock your phone, the city map pulses, and the first character cue appears: the Syndicate wants its formulas back. You set off from Gothenburg’s central square with tram bells punctuating the air, cobbles underfoot, and a cast of characters—John, Azita, Burke, Clara, Leopold the dog—ready to push you through alleys, plazas and waterfront promenades.
