Prater context
Imperial hunting land turned public amusement district
The Prater opened to the public in 1766 after centuries of imperial use. Its Wurstelprater amusement area developed through popular entertainment, and the Giant Ferris Wheel opened in 1897, later becoming a Vienna landmark. This quest follows that real leisure history through an original game story rather than presenting today’s attractions as unchanged imperial survivals. Playable languages: English.
