Follow in the footsteps of legendary wizard and alchemist, Phileas Fry on the route he used to transport his magical potions, via a network of secret tunnels beneath the streets of York. If detected by authorities, he would likely be accused of witchcraft, but more importantly, he needed to avoid scrutiny from those who practice dark magic and wished to steal his potions for their own nefarious means.
