Self-Guided Secrets of Paris: Panthéon Area Exploration Game
Description
Voltaire has lost his quill. Not just any pen, but the one that lit fires under kings and carved truth into history. Without it, his voice is gone and with it, the power to challenge injustice. Paris feels quieter without him. Too quiet.
Now it’s up to you. Follow the footsteps of revolution through cafés, courtyards, and corners where ideas once roared. Search for the quill that could stir the world awake again. With wit as your compass and truth as your goal, help Voltaire rise once more.
The truth is out there, just hidden beneath cobblestones and whispers.
