In the late 1800s, three brothers discovered a hidden cache of gold near an uncharted mine somewhere in the New Mexico desert. They died without telling anyone where it was, and the rumor of its location has been circulating for over a century. The player decides to find it, books a flight to somewhere warmer, and heads out into the desert. Others are already looking. The player is quickly apprehended, and wakes up locked in a small local jail that may or may not still be actively staffed. The gold is close. Getting out requires puzzle-solving. Getting to the gold requires more of the same.
