Germany>Hamelin>The Silence of Bungelosenstraße

In Hameln's city archive, you find a folder bearing your own surname. A 16th-century mayor spent his life secretly investigating why 130 children vanished from this town in 1284 — and never told anyone what he found. Follow his hidden notes past the real Piper's House and the eerily silent Bungelosenstraße to his own grave, solving puzzles tied to genuine landmarks, until the truth splits into three competing explanations: plague, emigration, or legend.

The mission: Your story in Hamelin

You are Frida Reimerdes, an intern at Hameln's city archive. Digitizing old files, you find a forgotten folder bearing your own surname: Johannes Reimerdes, mayor of Hameln, died 1576. Two centuries after the town's children vanished in 1284, he tried to solve it himself, leaving only loose pages and no answer. Your mission: follow his trail through the old town and learn what he knew, and why he kept it to himself.
