The mission: Your story in Vienna
You are Mathilde Schleicher, a rising star of Vienna’s music scene. The year is 1889 and you are on your way to becoming lead singer of the Vienna Opera, but your rival Bianca Bianchi is plotting against you.
She feels threatened and will stop at nothing to protect her position, but you are not alone. Just yesterday, a letter was brought to you by a dove, warning you of Bianca’s plans and holding a mysterious clue. It was signed simply “freund” (German for “friend”).
You will not go down without a fight. You decide to play.
