About the game

On a great mission through stellar constellations and the Städel Collection

The mission begins with a mysterious message from the future and leads through several levels. The stellar constellations serve as a guide—a universal map of human history. Humans have always observed the night sky in order to understand the world through the universe. They collect their knowledge in libraries, archives, and museums. Paintings and sculptures also tell stories and provide unique insights into different eras of society.

The aim of the game is to recover lost knowledge with the help of works of art. On their journey through the Städel Universe, players are confronted with real-life ethical and moral issues. Old certainties are put to the test and new questions are raised.
