In the Shadow of the War

About this route

The Old Town lies quiet around you. But between 1940 and 1945, the city was not peaceful. It was a city at war. During restoration, a diary was found. The diary belonged to Edgar, who turned 14 when the war started. He wasn't a soldier, he wasn't a leader. He was one of those nobody noticed, and exactly because of that, he was given tasks. In his diary, he wrote down what he saw and what he felt, but between the pages, he hid something else. A plan. But the last message was never completed. In the diary, he wrote down what he saw in the streets where you are standing now - soldiers on the square, lines for food, and people who suddenly disappeared. This is where you come in. You will follow Edgar's tracks through the Old Town. You will find the answers either in excerpts from the diary or by looking around the city. For each task you solve, you will receive a letter. Finally, the letters form a code word that reveals the final message. If you want to read the entire story, the full diary will be sent by email. You can choose whether you want to read it before you start the game. See the city the way Edgar saw it. Find the clues he left behind, and complete the mission he never finished. Good luck!
