The story of The Frankfurt Syndicate

A powerful organisation is hiding dangerous formulas that should never fall into the wrong hands. When these formulas are stolen by a rogue alchemist named Magnus, the authorities turn to an unlikely group of experts to solve the problem: you. In exchange for your freedom, you are given one mission. Track down Magnus, recover the six stolen formulas and return them before it’s too late.

As the story unfolds, you step into a race against time filled with secrets, deception and unexpected twists. Each decision brings you closer to uncovering Magnus’ trail and reclaiming the formulas.
