You’re a trained Time Travel Agent on a mission to save the very soul of art. History has detected a dangerous plot: someone is planning to assassinate Michelangelo before he sculpts his masterpiece, David. If you fail, the future of art will never be the same.
Your journey begins in 1501 Florence, a city alive with ambition, secrets, and beauty. As you walk through its storied streets, solve real-world puzzles, follow hidden clues, and uncover who’s behind the plot. The past is counting on you.
