The haunting of Uppsala
Something evil is haunting Uppsala, you can sense it when you are visiting the cathedral. You meet the Swedish martyr Saint Erik, who needs your help to investigate what is causing unrest amongst the dead.
Together, you head out for a walk where Saint Erik guides you to the locations of the city’s most well-known ghosts. Something seems to have awakened them – but why?
Listen as Saint Erik tells the darkest stories of Uppsala’s history, as you walk from the cathedral to the cemetery and the Fyris river. In each location, you help solve a task in order to calm the resident ghost. An old viking is held captive by invisible chains, and a restless student needs help with his final exam.
Uppsala’s dark history
Uppsala is an ancient city, with nearly one thousand years worth of history. Many tragic events have taken place here over the years, and now the spiritual world seems to be in turmoil. By Hotel Gillet, there is a murder scene playing on repeat, and a queen from the 1500’s is in the castle yard – crying and begging for your help. A series of clues leads from one haunted location to another, but what dark force is actually behind all of this?
Step into Uppsala’s underworld through sound, illustrations and entertaining game elements. Who knows if you will ever return?
