Es war ein schöner kleiner Spaziergang mit nicht zu schweren Rätseln. Die Geschichte fand ich allerdings verwirrend/kompliziert und ich habe sie nicht wirklich verstanden.

A note from Ryan Taylor

The mission: Your story in Heidelberg

Professor Elias Falk died before finishing the memoir of one of Germany’s most celebrated statesmen. You have been hired to complete it. Private investigator Ken Clever has been hired to look into Falk’s death. 

As you team up and follow the ghostwriter’s final trail through Heidelberg, missing files and altered dates reveal that the memoir hides a conspiracy, and the public figure at its center may not be the one truly in control.
