The year is 1805. You are Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos, and after seven years in Castle Bellver, you have escaped. But freedom is not yet yours, you must sneak back inside to find a map leading to the port and a ship off the island.

Navigate 14 stops from the castle through the Bellver Forest, past a chapel, down through Santa Catalina's streets and market, to the harbour. Decode Latin inscriptions, count Roman guardians, crack passwords, and read a sundial to learn your escape date.
