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?
Highlights
Hunt for clues hidden in plain sight across a 16th-century fortress, ancient stone wine presses, and colonial plazas.
Solve environmental riddles to unlock the chilling, true story of a ruthless cartel and a town reborn from fire.
Discover breathtaking locations that most tourists walk right past, including dramatic black-rock volcanic pools and silent, centuries-old courtyards.
Play on your terms. Start the experience whenever you want, pause for a glass of local Canarian wine, and resume the hunt at your exact pace.
Capture cinematic photos where the wild Atlantic Ocean crashes against history.
The mission: Your story in Garachico
But before the eruption, Cristóbal de Ponte, the Genoese banker who built this empire of trade, concealed a dark secret.
