The Greek Omega is often seen as a symbol of God's eternity and perfection. However, some suspect it hides more: the key to a mysterious artifact. A relic that could be older than the Latin alphabet and possibly as ancient as the Church itself.

Recently, an ancient manuscript—the so-called Demetrios Bible—was discovered in a remote monastery. Its yellowed pages contain cryptic clues about the Omega and the possible location of the lost artifact.

The Vatican is convinced the trail leads to Herisau. A team is needed to investigate on site.

Would you like to learn more about the history of this region after the game? The Herisau Museum showcases the history of the canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden. It is located in the former town hall on the square, directly opposite the Reformed Church.
