Milan Navigli: Save the Witch Before Midnight
Milan, 1640. The city murmurs with fear—tonight, a young woman will be burned for witchcraft.
You're just a humble canal boat driver, no hero. But when her eyes meet yours, everything changes. She begs for help, and you know the secret waterways of the Navigli better than anyone. Messages must be passed. Magical objects found. Allies trusted—or betrayed.
Step into a mysterious, moonlit adventure through Milan’s canals. Solve real-world puzzles, follow clues through hidden alleys and bridges, and work together with friends or family to rewrite fate. This isn’t just a walk—it’s a story of courage, magic, and connection, waiting to be lived. Will you save her… or arrive too late?
