Summary

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.

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.

Made by Owlskip, the studio behind acclaimed narrative detective games Family, Rivals, Conspiracy, Echo Beach, Life & Crimes, and Riley and Rochelle.

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