Follow your brother through Edinburgh

Red Nights puts you on your brother’s trail in Edinburgh. Inspired by real events, the story invites you to question people and piece together clues as you explore the city’s streets.

1

Behind closed doors

Behind closed doors, Edinburgh’s anatomists study human bodies in secret. Their work depends on a steady supply, and demand is growing. As you explore the city’s streets, this hidden trade sets the scene for your search.

2

A brother to find

Your brother becomes the focus of your search through Edinburgh. Accounts of people taken from the streets give fresh meaning to each clue. Stories about the canal add another thread for you to follow through the city’s alleys.

3

Following his footsteps

Who shared your brother’s last known hours in Edinburgh? You question passers-by and compare their accounts as you trace his movements. Along the city’s streets, possible allies offer new leads, while each discovery helps you decide where to look next.

4

Search together

Together, you follow the clues towards the person holding your brother. A wish for revenge shapes this part of the story. Edinburgh’s alleys frame your search as you work through the challenges and bring the evidence together.
