Frequently asked questions
What’s the mood of this game—more horror or poetic mystery?
It’s poetic mystery with a dark edge. You get ghost stories, curses, haunted squares—but it leans more toward atmospheric chills, not jump-scares (unless you choose to imagine them 😏).
Could this be a memorable date night?
Definitely. Walking past Palazzo Vecchio under lamplight, chasing Dante’s shadows, pausing at ancient piazzas—this adds romance plus intrigue. Perfect if you want something emotionally rich, not just dinner.
When should I play it—afternoon or at night?
Evening is way better. The route gets atmospheric when the sun goes down—moonlight on the Duomo, shadows in the alleys, the hush around piazzas brings out the eerie beauty.
What landmarks and creepy spots will I visit?
You start at Palazzo Grifoni, then hit Palazzo Vecchio, Piazza del Duomo, and end at Castel Bargello. Along the way there are haunted villas, cursed spots, and old Florence stories that aren’t in every guidebook.
Is this route easy to follow, even in dim light?
Yes, the clues guide you well and route stays mainly in well-known central zones. Just wear comfy shoes (cobblestones + some stairs) and use a jacket if evenings are chilly.
