About this quest

Did you know a single train ride could erase an entire city?

The year is 1910. Beneath the towering, smoke-stained chimneys of Żyrardów, a quiet but devastating betrayal is unfolding. The visionary blueprints of Filip de Girard’s mechanical empire have been stolen, torn into 14 fragments, and scattered across the cobblestones by a corrupt manager. Tonight, they will be sold to a rival syndicate.

Step into the boots of an undercover factory operative. Your mission? Hunt down the traitor's trail of encrypted clues before his evening train departs for Łódź. If you fail, the mills will fall, and a thousand families will be thrown into the cold.

Navigate a city trapped in time. From the hushed confessions of grand parish churches to the gritty, unplastered brick of the historic workers' estates, you'll decipher architectural codes and uncover the dark secrets of Poland’s greatest industrial powerhouse. The clock is ticking, the looms are waiting, and the shadows are watching. Will you save Żyrardów?
