About This Challenge
In the ancient world, communication was not as simple as it is today. Important messages and information were often fragmented and scattered, requiring skilled individuals to piece them together. This game, inspired by the puzzle-solving abilities of Diocletian, challenges players to uncover hidden truths by assembling scattered information fragments.
- Players must use their deduction skills to connect the dots and unlock the secrets hidden within each fragment.
- As the game progresses, players can use spells to gain hints or extra time, just as Diocletian used his strategic abilities to navigate through complex political situations.
