Storyline

Centuries ago, the wealthy and powerful Doria family—famous in Genoa for their influence and maritime exploits—hid a secret that has been passed down through generations: a lost treasure tied to the city’s history. 

Legend says that this treasure holds not just gold, but relics with the power to reveal forgotten truths about the city’s past. However, to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands, the family scattered clues all over the city.
