About This Game

SPQR is a mystery thriller drama about a PTSD ridden legionary turned detective, whose cases lead him spiraling deeper into a web of deceit, corruption, and murder when he unmasks a powerful cult with a plan to destroy the republic.

    Explore historical locations:

  • from the crowded Forum Romanum, over the posh villas on the Aventin to the seedy back alleys of the notorious Subura.

    Interrogate contemporary celebrities:

  • of the period such as Cicero, Gaius Julius, Cato and many others.

    Use investigation skills:

  • to charm, intimidate or bribe suspects in your search of truth and interpret what you’ve found to make the each case fit your chosen narrative.

    Be the prosecution:

  • use the facts of the case to make your own truth and charge the suspects you want.

Back in Rome, he finds work as a detective for the lawyer and politician Cicero.
In his service he investigates criminal cases and brings them to court.
