The Wailing Piano

It all started as a routine excavation in Palestine. But soon you find yourself racing across the desert on a mission to track down a legendary ancient relic before the Nazis can get their hands on it. And that's just the beginning. The Third Reich is mobilizing across the world in search of mysterious ancient Hallows of Power, objects that could put unimaginable supernatural forces into the hands of the armies of darkness. And the only thing standing in their way is you. Put on the worn boots of a 1930s braggart archaeologist and prepare for a wild journey around the world, encountering adventure, romance and mystery at every step. Do you have what it takes to locate the relics, defeat your enemies and save the world from a thousand years of darkness?

There's no time, you idiot! Get in!"

The cool leather of the Rolls's passenger seat engulfs you as you sink down into it. The lady in the driver's seat glances around quickly before turning her attention to you.

"My name is Esme," she says. "Esme Fairfield. Lady Dewsbury, if you want to be all formal about it, but I'd prefer if you didn't. Delighted, I'm sure. Now keep low, keep still, and keep quiet, and we might just get you out of here alive."

With that, Esme starts the Rolls at the first attempt, and its powerful engine growls into life. Smooth as butter, the vehicle pulls away from the curb, onward to your unknown destination.
