About this quest
It’s sometime in the early 1880s. You are a good friend of the feminist author Amalie Skram and you want to meet her at the theater to see a production of Henrik Ibsen’s “A Doll's House”.
However, Amalie doesn’t arrive. Instead a messenger boy appears and hands you a note. Amalie's latest manuscript has disappeared. Are you up for the challenge to explore 1880's Oslo and find Amalie's lost manuscript?
