Romania>Bucharest>After the Last Lantern - Cismigiu Garden, Bucharest
This game is a slow, atmospheric walk through Cişmigiu Garden and its surroundings, where history, urban legend, and romance quietly intersect. Instead of chasing clues or racing against time, you follow a handwritten notebook and learn to notice what usually goes unseen: small details, repeated paths, familiar hours. 

The experience blends real monuments with a fictional love story inspired by Bucharest’s past. Challenges are observational and intuitive, designed to make you look closer rather than think harder. The story unfolds gently, rewarding curiosity, patience, and attention.

The mission: Your story in Bucharest

While walking near Cişmigiu Garden, you come across a weathered notebook written in an unfamiliar hand. Its pages don’t tell a complete story - only fragments, observations, and places marked with care. Slowly, a life begins to take shape: a foreign soldier, a nurse... 

The notebook’s author never asks to be found. Only understood. 

Your mission is to follow the places he recorded, uncover the meaning behind his notes, and return the notebook where it belongs - so that a quiet story, once lived, can finally be kept.
