It is 1946. The dictator, Salazar, has been in power for a decade. However, dictatorships across Europe are in decline.
You’re Artur Souzão. You work for the state police as an intelligence officer, but nothing is as it seems. For centuries, your family has been part of a secret group dedicated to helping people rise up, and, now too, you strive to end the dictatorship.
Something has been found in the old records of the town hall, something almost sacred.
