TuoMuseo released Father and Son [Free] last week on the App Store, and there's a couple of particularly noteworthy aspects to this. One is that the game was published by the Archaeological Museum of Naples. TuoMuseo is a non-profit organization that describes itself as "active in the intersection between cultural heritage and videogames" featuring a couple of AAA veterans. The other intriguing thing about Father and Son is that in order to unlock some new costumes and an in-game location, you have to actually check in at the Archaeological Museum of Naples. Yes, in Italy.
This adventure will take you through modern Naples and the aforementioned Archaeological Museum, Ancient Egypt, and the doomed city of Pompeii. Father and Son is a free download, and should take you 50-60 minutes to beat, though there's the promise of multiple endings. The first 50 people who beat the game (though it's been out for a few days) are eligible to win a special commemorative t-shirt. And if you need an excuse to visit Italy, here you go! If any of our readers from Italy check in at the museum, we'd be interested to hear your experience! Check out the forum thread for Father and Son to discuss this intriguing experience.
