Memento Mori: dtp Announces Mysterious Art Theft Conspiracy Adventure
Game
Three paintings from the St Petersburg’s Hermitage. They have been exchanged with three valueless copies.
Description
At first sight, this seems to be nothing unusual, seems to be a typical art theft like it happens everytime.
However, Colonel Ostankovic, commander of the 12th department of Petersburg police which investigates artwork theft, knows more. He suspects a Finnish order of having committed these thefts.
The game takes reference of this order, which is pretty unknown outside of well-informed art circles. It’s their duty, as they understand it, to prevent certain paintings from becoming open to the public. They rely on an ancient Latin work called “Ars moriendi”, which dates back to the first half of the fifteenth century. It’s written here, that one can see the Angel of Death when tottering on the edge of life and death.
