What it's about

The story.

Investigative journalist Mika has vanished without a trace. His sister Juna fears that his work has something to do with it. In his almost empty apartment in Kassel's city center, she looks for a clue to what happened.

From the apartment, you follow a trail through archives, sound recordings and mysterious finds. The more you discover, the more unsettling the search becomes. What has Mika gotten himself into?

Your task: Follow Mika's trail and find out what happened to him.

Preparation

Comfortable shoes. You explore the city on foot. Clothes for the weather and comfortable shoes make it more relaxed.
Full batteries. The map, camera and GPS need power. A power bank doesn't hurt.
Mobile data. TaleAlley needs an internet connection. The app bridges short gaps in coverage.
