Perfect to share with friends or family, Ghosts of Turin is a journey through mystery, history, and connection—where every step could bring you closer to the truth... or pull you deeper into the unknown.

The mission: Your story in Turin

You are a magic and occult enthusiast who has lived in Turin for some months now, a city at the convergence of both dark and light forces. You’ve also recently come across a spell that is supposed to let you see into the Turin of centuries past.

When you cast the spell, though, something goes wrong. You find yourself separated by a veil from the people who walk past you, blurred as if through a thick fog. This isn’t the effect you intended, so you must find a way to go back to normal as soon as possible.

In a city like Turin, you know you might find someone willing to help you, but also great danger…
