The story of Secrets of Norrköping

In the heart of Norrköping, the ghost of Johann III still dreams of stone and sky. Once, he planned a castle so grand it would humble the stars, but history left it unfinished. The final piece, the Lost Keystone, was never set in place and has vanished into the city’s streets.

Follow Johann’s lofty vision through winding alleys, riverside paths, and under the shadow of ancient towers. Solve his riddles, uncover the missing stone, and bring closure to a dream centuries in the making. In Norrköping, even the walls remember.

You came to explore. You stayed to save the story.
