The mission: Your story in Melbourne
As the trusted companion of Nasiha, a woman with hidden motives, you’ll follow cryptic clues, unlock forgotten codes, and chase the trail of a long-lost secret society.
From the grand halls of Flinders Street to the quiet whispers of Chinatown and the waters of the Ornamental Lake, your mission is clear: recover the diamond before it vanishes again.
But be warned, every riddle uncovers not only a clue but a question about who Nasiha really is… and why she chose you.
