11 ReviewsVerified Reviews

Madrid once dynamited a bustling historic market with barely 48 hours' notice. For a century, the relentless march of progress has tried to erase the defiant Chamberí district.

In this immersive adventure, you take on an unexpected role: you are a building. As the brick, iron, and soul of a neighborhood fighting for survival, you must track down an immovable fortress hospital, peer into a phantom subway station frozen in 1966, and uncover a massive sports palace hidden from the modern world.

Decode the clues, or watch the memory of your streets fade into concrete forever. Will you stand your ground?

The mission: Your story in Madrid

You are a building. Not a person, a building. For over a century, the city of Madrid has been trying to erase you and everything around you. Markets blown up. Stations sealed. Hospitals abandoned. Your neighbourhood has been threatened, ignored and underestimated since 1874. Walk north through Chamberí and collect the evidence.

By the end, you will understand why this district is still standing when so many others are not.

route: Good story really poorly executed, clearly the author has zero sense of direction and two chapters were the same place. And lots of unnecessary repetition of information
