"What was once a house of correction is now a home to chaos. Old Newgate, sealed away in 1875, has been left to its own devices. Its usage as a prison in the Neath was brief. Bees haunt the ruined tunnels now, a relic of some practice that took place in the prison; it is said Hell will pay handsomely for their recovery."[1]
In Old Newgate, the inmates rule the prison, where they compete in an ancient game: Dagger, or Flint? The prisoners play for bees; to catch them, you will need to join the game.[2]
Dagger, or Flint?
A heady drone can be heard within its broken walls as you enter. In the atrium, lined with fractured tiles, someone has put up a crude sign. Two images: a dagger, and a fire-lighting flint. Beneath them, someone has scratched 'CHOOSE'.[3]
