The Genoese Banker's Secret, Garachico, Tenerife

In 1706, the wealthiest port in the Canary Islands was swallowed whole by rivers of liquid fire. But what if the volcano didn’t just destroy Garachico, what if it buried its darkest secret?

Step into the role of an investigative historian on the trail of a 300-year-old conspiracy. Your target: Cristóbal de Ponte, a ruthless Genoese banker who built a colonial empire of wine, power, and shadow.

Hours before the catastrophic eruption wiped his harbor off the map, his most valuable ledgers, and a rumored fortune, vanished. Did he know the fire was coming? Or did he orchestrate the ultimate disappearance to escape his sins?

Navigate through hardened lava fields, whisper-quiet convents, and colonial ruins to piece together a gripping puzzle of corruption and bloodlines. The ghosts of the Atlantic are waiting. Can you uncover the truth before it fades into the ashes forever?
