The challenge of a dangerous serial killer plummets detective Lazarus Bundy’s career into a chasm with
no way out. In a desperate attempt at a comeback, Lazarus decides to secretly investigate the
disappearance of Kathrin Mulzberg, the young descendant of one of the most influential families in the
city.
During the investigation he meets Alice Sharp, a young intern in the agency Lazarus used to work for.
The duo soon realizes that the case hides something more obscure than what it seemed at the beginning, a
conspiracy as ancient as the world.
From the sunny shores of Miami to the lush Italian hills, from a marmoreal Rome to the country of the
Rising Sun, they will have to use all the resources at their disposal in order to reveal the
truth.
And by that time they'll be past the point of no return.
Don't give up. Never stop investigating.
The Hand of Glory
Something obscure is crawling behind the dazzling glaze of Miami, a force that goes beyond
the usual human concept of science and religion. There is a silent, latent war going on, a war able to
shatter the foundations of civilization, harnessing ancient knowledge and mystical arts lost for
centuries.
Get ready to face a long and dangerous journey. It might be the last.

Game Characters
LARS
For Lazarus Bundy, his work as a detective was his whole life. So when forced to deal with a suspension
from duty, he is confronted with an overwhelming void that pushes him into a desperate
challenge.

scarf, by Greendart, his customized bicycle, and by his peculiar sense of humour, which arises at
completely random moments.
ALICE
Determined to follow in the footsteps of her father, a successful former detective, Alice accepts an
intern position in the HPD. Broke but confident, she’s a tech enthusiast and she often pushes herself deep
into the dark web.

GreenDart was purchased when Lazarus was seventeen and still lived in Italy. Since then, he never parted
from it and he keeps on looking after it as if it was a longtime friend.
After landing in America looking for a better future, Lazarus painted the bicycle using the colours of his
home country, as a reminder of everything he had to leave behind.
???

desperately chasing?
