The mission: Your story in Bucharest
It is the year 1919.
You, my friend, are a renowned detective and an important bourgeois family in Bucharest has asked you to find their beloved daughter - Maria.
Maria has just finished the Faculty of Medicine at Montpellier but, instead of focusing on her medical endeavors, she ran away with a poor officer from the army - Anton.
Oh, how this brings shame to the family!
"Please, bring our Maria back, in the hopes that we can end this nonsense and ensure her a prosperous future.
Without Anton!"
