The Racecourse reconstituted:
The level taking place in the racecourse of Constantinople is now ready to be exploited.
This level required several working and research months to be most faithfully reproduced possible.
The challenge was of size so much there is nothing left today, not even ruins. Everything was thus made according to plans, to sketch and to research works.

Yann Tambellini, creative director of Kylotonn, details the origin of the game and the idea of his creation: " As independent studio, we attempt to bring a revival in universes treated in the video games of adventure. Fascinated by architecture, I discovered in this city of Constantinople a delicious mixes of East and West, which will transport the player beyond Donjons and other malefic forests of the traditional RPG."
