Walk the cobbled margins of Angers and let the city become the set. The Alchemist drops a two-hour mystery into the streets around the Maine: market squares, narrow medieval lanes and river-side walks become clues, witnesses and the occasional dead end. As you tap through the mobile app you’ll overhear the city’s past in stone—an accusation of witchcraft, a villager’s fate—and decide whether to defend Josyne or support the claim against her.
