Everyone leaves behind something. InUnknown 9: Awakening, there are all sorts of things for you to find: leftover diagrams of advanced technology, remnants of a secret society, and pieces of history left behind by the Sahin. Sometimes it’s a bit more mundane, and you just find plain, old handwritten letters.
These can reveal all sorts of information, such as giving you an insight into the world other than what the Ascendants are up to, and how their plans are affecting people. Some are even left by the Ascendants themselves, and they range from sad memories to someone just wanting some cigarettes.
