About Severton, from BoardGameGeek:

Severton is a cooperative, scenario-based adventure game set in the magical atmosphere of old Prague, where a group of boys and girls uncover secrets and embark on thrilling quests. In the game, inspired by a Czech novel series by Jaroslav Foglar, players take on the role of a group of friends who are trying to investigate the shadows of Severton - the old neighborhood ruled by ruthless groups of Vonts-and progress through various stories, each with different challenges lying ahead of them. Avoid the Vont patrols, sneak your way around them, talk your way out of trouble, or use your fists to gain the upper hand. -description from the publisher
