It is your mission to not only solve the murders but figure out why Lord Byron may have kick started a series of events that would eventually lead to an apocalypse that happened nearly three centuries after his death and stop that from happening. Good Luck, Detective.
Key Features:
• Real world escape room puzzles
• Immersive story-telling
• Modern, VR interactions (full 360)
• NEW episodes are released periodically
The Cromwell Chronicles
You are Detective Cromwell, one of the last survivors in a post-apocalyptic world created by a mysterious plague known as The Green. Two days ago, you came across the abandoned and deteriorating research facility for Wittington Labs. As you explored the facility you found one room that was still getting power somehow and met S.O.F.I., an advanced AI system that the lab developed to calculate scenarios for avoiding the war and societal collapse caused by The Green. S.O.F.I. has asked for your help to use the Geographic Organic Atom Transceiver to go into the past and try to correct the timelines that she calculates may have led to the apocalypse.
