De missie: Jouw verhaal in Madrid

You must rescue your sister, the 18th century healer Juana Picazo, from the dungeons of the Inquisition before she is publicly shamed and burned at the stake.

She's been healing people for years using natural practices, but someone was not satisfied and condemned her to the Inquisition.

Calling her Satan's bride, they've shaved her head, and the next step is to mount her on a donkey and parade her around the city to be insulted and hit by the devout masses. That could easily kill her.

When you learned she'd been detained, you travelled to Madrid from your home in La Mancha to help her. However, you don't know the city well, and Juana can barely see after her harsh treatment.

You'll have to be her eyes as you cross Madrid together and guide Juana safely to her apartment in La Latina, so she can pack her things and flee the city!
