A second Wildon exists, removed from space and time. Many inhabitants have survived, but the first of them are starting to disappear. Silence is spreading like an ulcer. Little by little, life is vanishing through the slits in the fabric of time\u2014only the echoes of the missing can still be heard. It\u2019s a shady dimension hiding behind a mask of normality containing many a riddle to be solved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This excursion through the town lasts two hours, moving between reality, science fiction, mystery, and radio play. Strange calls, text messages, and clues accompany the performance game, opening the doors to eerie buildings, leading to dangerous deviations and curious encounters. Acting in small groups, visitors investigate mysterious rooms, attempting to master tasks and make decisions that influence the evolution of the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>KINGDOM<\/em>, machina eX fuses mobile communication with radio play, text message with text adventure, guiding players to four different locations where they have to break in to solve puzzles and find clues, in traditional machina eX style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group secondary-shadow-box has-border-color has-secondary-border-color is-layout-constrained
