The story of Secrets of Tallinn

Tallinn’s towers rise like watchful eyes, steeped in legend and sharp with history. High above it all stands Vana Thomas, a golden weathervane, archer, and eternal guardian of the city. But one of his sacred arrows has gone missing. Without it, his defenses are weakened. His gaze no longer feels complete.

The trail winds through cobbled streets, past ancient spires and whispered secrets. As shadows grow long over the rooftops, you must track the thief and restore Thomas’s aim. This is not just a search for steel. It’s a mission to protect a city that still breathes stories into its stones.

The truth is out there. Just hidden beneath cobblestones and whispers.
