VALACH 1893

Autumn, 1893. Arthur Voss, a penniless writer, arrives by train in Valach, a village lost in the Carpathians, to attend the burial of a relative he never met and claim his inheritance: a manor beside the cemetery.

He carries nothing but a lantern, a spade and a crucifix. By day, examine the graves and dig where you shouldn’t. By night, keep the flame alive until dawn.

• StealthArthur is no soldier. Turn the flame low and you pass unnoticed, but you can barely see.
• DiggingRead the headstones. Unearth what the village wanted forgotten.
• FaithA crucifix and a prayer. Nothing more.
