The story

Unravel the truth of an ancient civilisation, lost in time through three brand-new scenarios, filled with death, deceit, and ancient rituals.

What it’s like

Hand-drawn 2D scenes in warm, dusty ochres and deep shadows, with characters rendered in a stylized, slightly storybook way, make this feel like a case file come to life. Each location is a painted tableau you explore by clicking through, and the soundscape leans on low ambient tension and quiet, eerie stings rather than wall-to-wall music, so the silences between clues do much of the work. The vibe is moody and cerebral: a late-night, one-sitting puzzle session with a cup of tea going cold beside you, or a slow weekend with your brain switched to detective mode. Pacing is deliberate. Progress comes from lingering over objects, reading documents, and testing theories, and the tension builds through suspicion rather than action. Intensity sits at moderate: deaths are investigated more than shown, the dread is atmospheric, and there is no real gore. Its people are mostly investigators and suspects whose stories unfold through what they reveal and conceal. It suits players who love deduction, ancient-mystery atmospherics, and point-and-click problem solving with a gently sinister edge.
