Storyline

You never knew your great-uncle, so you were surprised to receive something in his will: a dusty old polaroid camera, and a photo album with shots of Bristol. But some pictures are missing. Underneath the empty spots you can see the handwritten names of these locations.

There’s something you need to do, a note reads, people you need to help.

To understand what this mysterious relative of yours meant, you head into the city with the camera to visit the spots where the missing pictures were taken.
