The mission: Your story in Chicago
Long ago, a One-Eyed Witch taught you the art of Second Sight – how to see and talk with the spirits of things.
Then she made you promise this: to go to Chicago one day, meet the Spirit of Daley Plaza, and ask her to help you catch “The Nuck.”
You’d all but forgotten that oath until the dreams started: visions of Chicago in flames, of monsters in the streets.
So you’ve come to the Windy City, hoping your nightmares will end when you catch “The Nuck” (whatever that is) and keep your promise.
