Gabriel confronts his own demons while Grace traces an historical mystery, that of the strange demise of Mad King Ludwig II\. The hunters become the hunted, and the only hope for deliverance lies in the most desperate of schemes… Solve the enigma that surrounds Gabriel, Mad King Ludwig II, the Black Wolf and the strangely powerful Lost Wagner Opera, in this spell\-binding mystery\. Perspectives change and two stories unfold while you play as both Gabriel and Grace\.
