You step off the tourist trail with a phone in hand and the city folding around you: limestone facades, narrow alleys, and the Arno daring you to keep pace. The game drops you into a staged murder — the case of Balthasar — then hands you a string of clues disguised as city sights. As you move, the city becomes both setting and suspect; digital characters appear, coded locks click open, and simple photo tasks ask you to look twice at familiar corners.
