Amsterdam canal context
A planned water system that reshaped the city
Amsterdam’s main canal ring was developed during the 17th century as the city expanded, combining transport, drainage, defense and prestigious new building plots. The concentric waterways and narrow canal houses now form a UNESCO World Heritage area. This quest follows that real urban design through a fictional puzzle story rather than treating the canals as scenery alone. Playable languages: English.
