What you’ll experience during the game

*The Gouda Syndicate*では、あなたとチームはゴーダの中心部を舞台に繰り広げられる、一か八かの脱出ミッションに巻き込まれます。ミッションは秘密の傍受から始まり、6つの実験的な調合式と共に姿を消した反逆の化学者マグナスを追うことになります。物語が段階的に展開するにつれて、街はあなたの作戦の生き生きとした背景となり、それぞれの場所があなたを追跡の奥深くへと引き込みます。

盗まれた調合式を取り戻すには、チームは複雑なパズルを解き、暗号化されたメッセージを解読し、連携された課題を乗り越えなければなりません。あらゆる成功は、あなたのコミュニケーション、共有された戦略、そしてプレッシャーの下での迅速な意思決定能力にかかっています。物語はすべてのタスクに完全に組み込まれており、自分のスケジュールで操作を一時停止したり再開したりすることができます。チームワークが報われ、ゴーダを巡るあらゆる動きとともに展開していくミッションに備えましょう。

The story of 商品

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. Work together, follow the clues and complete the mission before the consequences become irreversible.
