Vulcan's Hammer: The Legend of Fire and Ash is a hidden object game that puts you in the role of a real detective. The story is set in 1920s Italy, during the height of the Neapolitanian Risorgimento, a time of political unrest and social revolution. In this time of turmoil, a member of the top-secret Myth Seekers agency goes missing. As the investigation continues, you and your partner travel across Italy, searching for clues and solving puzzles. You have to find the missing agent and discover the truth.

The game's main story is divided into three main chapters. In the first one, you will travel across the island of Ischia, where you will have to solve a number of puzzles. In the second chapter, you will have to find the hidden object and discover the truth behind the destruction of Pompeii. Finally, you will face off against the enemies of the Myth Seekers in the last chapter, in which you will have to prevent a disaster.
