The mission: Your story in Palermo
The mayor ordered a complete lockdown, everyone must stay at home, only the police can be seen on the streets.
As the leading expert on the dark legends of Palermo, you, Bianca Monti, have been asked to help the authorities figure out what is going on.
The only clue is an anonymous letter claiming that a vengeful power has risen from the past planning to turn Palermo into the city of the dead.
