Welcome Traveller!
Good to have you here. You’ve opened the Royal Scandals and Secrets Quest of Paris! First good decision of the day. The Royals of France have been living here for more than a thousand years.
So as you can imagine, Paris has many ghosts of Royals. Normally that is not a problem. Yet today they are fighting. Each other. Even though they are all family. I believe they simply want to be listened to. So…. You are going to be the therapist of the Royals of France today! Lucky you.
Obviously, this is not a simple task, since you will have to determine whether some of their stories are true or not. All with one goal: discover the true answer to the Master Question.
To start, read the introduction tutorial. Don’t waste any time!! Hurry up. These are Royals we are talking about.
Good luck, Traveller.
