Frequently asked questions

What’s the plot here?

You play a son whose father stole a sacred artifact centuries ago. Now, your mission is to break into hidden vaults, dodge guards, solve puzzles, and return the artifact before vengeance finds you.

Is this more about action, mystery, or history?

It’s mystery + history, with a bit of sneaking around. You get old Venetian stories mixed with suspense—not a straight action movie, but exciting enough.

Do I need to be fast on my feet?

Not super fast. Some puzzle spots are tricky, but there’s no sprinting. It's more brain work than running.

Could this be a good evening thing with someone?

For sure. Nighttime, canals lit, low crowds—makes the artifact hunt feel even more dramatic and memorable.

Is it safe to do this quest in the evening in Venice?

Mostly yes. The route stays in reasonably popular parts. But some alleys are quiet—if you feel uneasy, stick closer to main paths.
