Etruria · Journey Entrance
Play Guide
There is no single way to travel. Wander through Italy, taste local food, visit museums and old towns—or follow ruins, cemeteries, and strange traces toward a gate no map records.
STORY I
Road of Ruins
Across Italy, seek the lost gate
Modern Italy is your starting point. Travel freely, or follow the traces left by the Etruscans.
STORY II
LOCKED
Beyond the Tomb Gate
Etruria, City of the Dead
Only the right passcode opens the gate of eternal night. Enter Etruria, uncover the truth of the “Second Sunrise,” and discover why this land once remembered you.
CHOOSE YOUR JOURNEY
Wander Italy
Cities, streets, markets, cafés, museums, churches, coasts, and ruins can all become part of your journey. You can simply enjoy Italy’s regional culture and history without following the main story.
Seek Etruria
Old roads, cemetery boundaries, cracks in artifacts, and repeated songs may begin to point toward the same place.
SURFACE WORLD · KEY FIGURES
Three unknown faces are scattered across your journey. Their names are hidden, but each knows something different.
