The kingdom of Bofo has fallen under a terrible darkness. A toxic fog rolls through the land, beasts roam the streets, and the Wizard has vanished.

Along the way you will meet a cast of quirky characters, from butchers and teachers to radio hosts and sculptors, each holding a piece of the puzzle. Explore heritage pubs, iconic theatres, beloved cafes, and hidden public artworks as you unravel the mystery.
