The mission: Your story in Luxembourg

You feel strange! It’s as if you know exactly what’s going to happen next before it happens. Then it hits you: you have just jumped from the future to your own past! 

As your conscience merges with that of your past self, your mind regains some of its recent memories: the love of your life, Jojo, died in a car accident and you came back to change the past! 

Visiting places and meeting people from your past will trigger your memories and help you find a way to save Jojo!

Fortress context

A city built around a European fortress

Luxembourg’s old quarters and fortifications grew into one of Europe’s most important fortified sites. Its ramparts and casemates were shaped by successive powers, including major additions under Vauban after the French capture of the fortress.

The Corniche follows former ramparts above the Alzette valley. This game is an independent outdoor exploration, not an official fortress or casemate tour. Playable languages: English.
