Miccia

DESCRIPTION

In 1706, during the siege of Turin, Pietro Micca became a symbol of heroism, sacrificing his life to save the city from the French invasion. This historical-educational experience guides the players, through the last, dramatic mission of Pietro, immersing them in the underground Turin and in the atmosphere of its ancient walls.

The experience opens with Pietro inside the walls, receiving an urgent order to protect the city. After a stop at an external checkpoint, Pietro is sent to the underground galleies to monitor enemy movements. With the help of different objects, the player moves through a maze of tunnels, experiencing first-hand the anxiety and tension that Pietro felt that day.

This game not only offers an immersive and realistic experience, but aims to make the story of Pietro Micca known to a new audience, honoring his heroism and strengthening the pride and historical memory of Turin.
