Rome, 2021. You are Giulia, a young archaeologist and descendant of Valeria Messalina, empress, temptress, and the city’s most whispered-about ghost. Her scandalous footsteps still echo through Suburra’s shadowed alleys, begging you to trace them. 

Gather friends or family and lace up: every clue carved in marble, every riddle tucked beside a tavern arch, urges your team to stride farther, think sharper, laugh louder. From forum to secret courtyard you’ll piece together the hidden life and violent end of the prostitute empress while Rome unveils corners guidebooks forget. 

This is no idle screen game; it’s a pulse-lifting walk that turns the Eternal City into your puzzle board, forging memories with each solved cipher and shared discovery. The stones demand answers, start the investigation.
