Self-Guided Secrets of Porto Exploration Game

Flames lick the rooftops. Smoke coils through alleyways. Porto is burning, and the fire won't stop moving. Commander Guilherme Gnomes Fernandes, legendary firefighter and founder of the volunteer brigade, is out of breath and out of time. His team has been chasing the inferno for days. It spreads without pattern, without logic, as if it’s alive.

Now, you're his last hope. From riverside quays to tiled facades and secret staircases, trace the fire’s destructive path through Porto’s tangled streets. Search for clues, spot flare-ups, and help Guilherme stay one step ahead of the blaze. Every second counts. Lives depend on you.

The truth is out there, just hidden beneath cobblestones and whispers.
