You start at a tram stop with a buzzing phone and a case file in your pocket—Rotterdam’s sharp steel skyline presses in, while brick-lined canals cut through the city like clues. The game drops you into a fictional murder of a character named Balthasar and sends you weaving through streets, squares, and waterfront alleys, turning everyday façades into evidence boards and storefront windows into red herrings.

History
Rotterdam was heavily bombed in 1940 and rebuilt with modernist architecture; the city’s post‑war planning and port expansion shape much of its urban fabric.
Conservation
Stick to sidewalks and marked paths, support local businesses along the route, and avoid leaving litter—urban wear concentrates around popular squares and waterfronts.
