We've got a mission for you in
Newcastle Emlyn
According to historical records, Edward, the Black Prince, entrusted his favourite courtier, Lord Loy Alty, with the location of the crown's priceless jewels. When the prince passed away, Lord Loy bravely sealed away the jewels in a secret vault beneath Newcastle Emlyn Castle, hidden from invaders and neighbouring monarchs. But now, the diaries containing the location have fallen into the hands of the infamous evil genius, Professor D. Ragons-Claw, and his henchmen!
They've planted a device in the crypts that will not only open the vault but also has an 82.7% chance of destroying the historic ruins above! Your top-secret mission is to solve the intel around the town and crack the code to deactivate the dangerous device. The fate of the castle ruins rests in your hands, agent!
