1971. A dead priest. A list of Nazi fugitives. The hunt begins.

When a Catholic priest is found murdered in Budapest, a secret list is discovered —names of Nazi war criminals who escaped justice through a covert network known as The Ratline. Now, the case is yours.

In this gritty detective thriller set in 1971, you play an investigator chasing shadows across continents. Use your wits, intuition, and network of contacts to follow leads, dig through documents, and piece together the truth—before the trail goes cold forever.

You will:

• Examine documents, photographs, and recovered artifacts

• Make independent deductions with no hand-holding

• Act like a proper sleuth, working contacts and shaking down sources from Rome to Buenos Aires

• Hunt down your marks - put together their identities, check your work and bring them to justice.

The war may be over—but the reckoning has just begun.
