After heading to the Vatican inIndiana Jones And The Great Circle, Indy will find himself juggling multiple side quests. The Mystery, A Free Spirit, offers a delightful distraction from the stolen relic hunt and beating fascists to a pulp, where you’ll have to photograph a specific feline lounging on the rooftops.
