Old Toronto context
A civic and market district behind the distorted reality
Old Town includes St. Lawrence Market, whose site has served market and civic functions since the early 19th century, alongside streets connected with Toronto’s early urban growth. This quest turns that recognizable district into a fictional reality-bending mystery. The market, city buildings and route are real; the altered sky, frozen moment and darkroom belong to the game story. Playable languages: English, French.
