Self-Guided Secrets of Katowice Exploration Game

Description
Katowice hums with the iron pulse of industry, but beneath its steel and soot, deeper truths wait in silence. One voice rises to meet you: Wojciech Korfanty, leader, freedom-fighter, and guardian of Silesia’s memory. His symbol, the Wings of Liberty, has vanished. Without them, a piece of the region’s spirit flickers, and the echoes of resistance risk fading into dust.
Through streets once shaken by uprisings, monuments carved in courage, and corners where history still breathes, Korfanty will guide you. Each step uncovers a hidden fragment of struggle and pride. This isn’t just a search for a missing monument, it’s a journey to restore the soul of a people, and prove that liberty, once earned, never truly disappears.
You came to explore. You stayed to save the story.
