Join Agnes, who was on board the Vasa ship when it sank on its maiden voyage in 1628. Ten years later, she still can’t shake the feeling that something else was lost in the water as well that day. There seem to be answers hidden away in a locked box her mother keeps in the attic, so Agnes decides to steal the box and head out on the streets of Stockholm in an attempt to trace down the secrets of the Vasa ship. Join her in 17:th century Stockholm through sound, game elements and classic storytelling.
