The experience

About this quest

A century ago, a promise was made in Sydney, but never recorded. Now, history is demanding an answer.

In the mid-1800s, a traveler arrived at Circular Quay, spoke an official oath, and waited. But the ink never touched the ledger. Today, fragments of that unfinished record have begun to surface in the city’s shadows.

You are a Forensic Investigator summoned to close this 150-year-old cold case. Retrace a journey through Sydney’s historic heart, hunting for evidence hidden in sandstone architecture, forgotten symbols, and the "edited truths" of the past.

What makes this quest special

Highlights

Uncover "Unwritten" History: Discover the secret lives of convicts, the "Rum Hospital," and the side of Sydney guidebooks ignore.
