Red nights

A chase drawn from real events. Anatomists are secretly dissecting human bodies, and fear has settled over the streets.

1

Dark times

In 1684, anatomists dissect human bodies away from prying eyes. Bodies are scarce, demand keeps growing. Do the maths.

2

Disappearances

Kidnappings are everywhere. The few missing people who turn up get fished out of the canal, and not in good shape. And now your brother has vanished.

3

On his trail

Where did he spend his last hours? With whom? Question passers-by, watch the suspects, stay on your guard. You may make allies along the way. Time will not be one of them.

4

Do not go alone

Whoever took your brother is probably dangerous, and out for revenge. Gather the clues, get through the ordeals and find him before the worst happens.

What the city whispers

Four rumours going round after dark. Flip a card, if you really want to know.

Lyon after dark

2,5 km on foot, 4 places along the way. You may know these streets. You have never looked at them like this.

Super aventure pour découvrir la ville en s'amusant !
revoir fautes de frappes
Le jeu était immersif et bien balisé l'histoire est cool. deux petites remarques:\nCe serait sympa
attention à la distance entre le moment où on arrive à une destination et la réelle localisation
la fontaine de nuit trop tendu, surtout de nuit ! belle expérience sinon :)
De bonnes énigmes, un peu compliqué de nuit pour certains indices.
Foule non compté dans le temps mais super malgré tout !
plutôt sympa mais les localisations gps sont parfois peu precise
l'énigme a la fontaine saint jean était compliquée de nuit
La fontaine de nuit, c'est très tendu !
La fontaine des Jacobins n'était pas accessible...
La fontaine de nuit c'était compliqué
