A Living Soul
Loukia
The Heart of the Forest is its soul, the living energy of nature. We should treat the amulet with great care to restore it. First, we must find my canteen of spring water.
Thank you for finding my canteen. I cast a spell on the spring water and sprinkled the Heart of the Forest with it. It’s a sure way to calm the living amulet and make it feel safe.
-
Good Intentions
Loukia
Carlos said that a part of the amulet broke off by accident, and he didn’t mean to destroy it. If that’s the case, we can restore the Heart of the Forest! But there’s something we need to check first. Can you lend me some artifacts?
Look! The glow of the artifacts has enveloped Carlos’s knife - the blade that touched the amulet bears no dark energy. This means there was no malice in his act, and the Heart of the Forest can be healed!
-
A Protector of the Forest
Carlos Light
Did that bird just fly into the window? I think that’s the bird that was watching me in the forest. But it flies around so fast, it’s hard for me to say for sure. Can you help me catch it?
Thank you for catching that feathered watcher! That’s definitely the bird. I remember it well: the bird suddenly attacked me when I tried to get the Heart of the Forest. Was it guarding it or something?
-
The Trodden Trails
Carlos Light
I spent hours in the forest looking for a light source for my lantern and wandered into the middle of nowhere. Fortunately, I noticed woven ribbons on the trees. I saw a similar one around here. Can you find it?
Ah, the woven ribbon. Thank you for finding it. These marked the trails in the forest that led me to the Heart of the Forest. It was shining brightly, and I thought I could use it for my lantern.
-
Forest Treats
Carlos Light
What do I know about the Heart of the Forest? Nothing, really. But I’d say it’s the forest berries - they taste so good, they make my heart sing! Those are the ones in that basket on the table, aren’t they?
I picked berries like the ones in the basket, I won’t deny it. At first, I was afraid to try them in case they were poisonous, but eventually the hunger from my long journey took over.
-
A Bird Paradise
Carlos Light
There was no storm in the forest when I went. It’s a lovely place, even though I got a little lost. Someone obviously cares about it - I saw bird feeders there, and I think there’s one around here too... Can you help me find it?
That’s right, I saw a bird feeder just like this one in the forest - but it was broken. And now it’s already fixed? How about that! Wait... why am I being detained? Was I trespassing on private property? If that’s the case, I’m sorry!
-
A New Development
Carlos Light
Did I start the storm? Not at all! Why would I? I like to create things that are good for the City, not things that destroy it. Here, I’ve brought along a mockup of my new lantern. Take a look for yourself.
I got so carried away with this lantern mockup that I didn’t even notice the storm at first! I’ve been spending all my time on this new development, looking for a replacement for the anti-fog crystals. I even looked in the forest.
-
A Piece of Serenity
Loukia
The storm was caused by someone who stole part of the Heart of the Forest, the energy that protects natural order. Lend me some charged artifacts so I can show you proof of this crime.
Your artifacts have illuminated the amulet. See how little energy is left in it? The amulet was created by a forest spirit, but now that it’s been robbed, that enraged spirit is destroying everything around it!
-
Poor Little Bunny
Loukia
The storm in the City is the forest’s fury, stripped of its energy. All the forest dwellers have already felt it. There’s a little bunny I rescued - it’s somewhere in the hut. Find it.
This thirsty little bunny came to the stream, but there was no water, only a devastating drought. The one who had always protected the forest dwellers had become the embodiment of wrath.
-
Burning Wrath
Loukia
After the amulet’s destruction, a blind wrath reigned over the forest and fell upon the City! I saw the trees burning from within. I even brought a branch home. Have you seen it?
I took this blazing branch to try to put out the fire inside it. But no matter how hard I tried, it was all in vain. No method would suffice - the flames of wrath were stronger!
-
A Forest Robbery
Loukia
The disturbing changes in the plants led me to believe the forest’s amulet was in trouble. And now my hunch is confirmed - I found an open cache and brought it with me. Take a look.
This open cache used to be a repository for the forest’s energy, but part of that energy has vanished, and with it, the forest’s natural order. Oh, I know for sure who started the storm in the City. And I know why!
-
A Dangerous Plant
Loukia
The frosty leaves weren’t the only harbinger of trouble. I recently went to pick some medicinal herbs, but instead, I found a poisonous flower! Here, take a look - but don’t touch it!
There’s never been a poisonous flower like this in the forest before. It’s a bad omen. I know you don’t trust me, but there’s no time for doubt. We must stop the storm before it’s too late!
-
Frost in the Summer
Loukia
You’ve come to help me? At last! Mr. Black questioned me, but he didn’t believe a word I said. But I know how to stop the storm, and I’ll tell you all about it. Find a frozen leaf in my hut.
I can see you’re surprised. You’re holding a frozen leaf, even though it’s summertime! When I first noticed the frost on the leaves in the forest, I couldn’t understand what had happened.
-
A Tempest in a Flask
Kira Woodville
There are many flasks of tinctures in the herbalist’s hut, but I found one with a cloud inside. Or is it the fog? Maybe that’s what Loukia used to cause the storm. Lend me a few artifacts so I can activate the flask.
Whoa! Your artifacts illuminated the foggy clouds, and I saw a real lightning bolt flash inside the flask! It looks like Loukia used the fog to cause the storm in the City. I’ll report it to Black.
-
A Song of the Wind
Kira Woodville
The sound of wind is getting stronger - and I heard something just now. It could’ve been caused by the vibrations of an acoustic device that mimics the howling wind. Something like a metal bowl. Have you seen one?
Great! You’ve found it! Do you hear this? When I run the resonator around the edge of this metal bowl, it sounds just like the wind howling outside the window. We should send the bowl for forensic examination.
-
The House of Rain
Kira Woodville
If Loukia’s to blame for this, there must be something in her house that she used to summon the storm. Something unusual, related to wind and rain. Let’s look.
What a nice find! It’s a ceremonial walking stick. When you were getting it out, the pendants on it started tinkling, mimicking the sound of rain. This could be the technology we’ve been looking for.
-
A Secret Message
Kira Woodville
If we found a whistle for sending secret signals, there might be some of Loukia’s correspondence with Violet here. I’m sure it’s encrypted, but I saw a necklace with a cipher around here somewhere. Can you help me find it?
Yes, that’s the necklace with a cipher! The marks on it are placed in a certain order, which could be used to encode messages. Let’s send the necklace for inspection.
-
A Secret Signal
Kira Woodville
The best way to hide something is to put it in plain sight. Let’s look for evidence against Loukia on her shelves. That ceramic horse over there stands out amongst the vials of tinctures. Can you get it?
Thank you. Oh, this ceramic horse is actually a disguised whistle! It sounds like a bird’s trill. Could it be Loukia’s way of calling the wind or signaling Violet?
-
The Lord of the Wind
Kira Woodville
We have to keep our eyes peeled. The technology that caused the storm is likely disguised. Look, there’s a figurine that looks a lot like a robot prototype. Let’s take a closer look at it.
Do you see that? The robot prototype holds a screen with symbols resembling wind currents! Let’s send the figurine to the Security Service’s science department to see if it has any secret technology.
-
A Double Task
Kira Woodville
A storm is coming, and the herbalist Loukia says it will destroy the City. What’s behind her bold claim, and is it connected to Violet’s threat to Black? I’ll look into it and record my findings in the Diary.
-
New Level of Mastery
Detective
Do you remember the case of the Borgia’s treasures? I think we have missed some important details. I desperately need to find a new piece of evidence. The item I require is at the %s location, but it will be hard to find. Reach %s level to find the new evidence.
Great! Partner, you have become more and more important to my investigation. With a new rank, you will be able to find new items that were hidden from you previously.
-
She’s Not What She Seems
Kira Woodville
I take back what I said - it’s not a simple herbalist’s hut at all. It’s all peace and quiet near Loukia’s house - even though there are severe winds all over the City! I wonder what’s inside... Let’s check it out!
It’s so cozy in this hut, I almost don’t want to disturb the peace. But Black is certain that dangerous technology is hidden here. We must find it to stop the storm. Let’s do it!
-
A Hut on the Forest Edge
Kira Woodville
We’re one step away from entering the location. What will we find there? New mysteries of the City are waiting to be uncovered. Go on, enter!
The location is now open! Do you feel the pull of new adventures? The magic of the City is calling out to us!
-
Following the Lights
Rayden Storke
We need to follow the sparks to find Kira. She’s been talking about them nonstop for the last few days - she’s obsessed with them! It looks like the sparks are hovering over the Mansion of Illusions. Let’s take a closer look.
The Architect used to live in this mansion, but no one’s seen her in a long time... You know, if Kira escaped from the City, I’d be nothing but happy for her! But the crimson sparks over the house don’t look very inviting.
-
A Lost Id
Isabelle
We still need more time to figure out the origin of this unusual weather, but the storm is so strong the magma reactor can no longer effectively ward off the snow. Lend me some artifacts to boost it.
Impressive! Your artifacts not only dispersed the storm clouds... they melted the snowdrifts, too. Look, there’s a name tag in that puddle. Professor?! He’s got some explaining to do.
-
The Epicenter of Events
Isabelle
We need to locate the epicenter of the anomaly. There, we are certain to find both the cause and the culprit of the storm. We need a landscape locator. There’s one in my bag, if you don’t mind grabbing it.
The landscape locator shows that the epicenter of the anomaly is directly above the restaurant. It’s looking more and more like this snowfall was intended to disrupt Daisy and Dylan’s wedding.
-
Suspicious Devices
Detective
We will uncover whoever caused this out-of-season snow storm, but we need solid evidence first. I saw something that looked like lab equipment in that snowdrift over there. Let’s dig it out.
This discarded piece of lab equipment contains the same impurities found in the snow. Isabelle checked. We’re probably not dealing with a mage here, but a scientist.
-
What’s the Forecast?
Detective
While Isabelle is searching for the anomaly that may have caused the snowfall, we can take steps to exclude any natural origins. There’s a sign on the beach showing the weather forecast. Let’s see what it says.
I see. According to the sign, the weather should be sunny and hot today. The spirits of nature gave the forecast, so it should be accurate. Someone must have intentionally caused this snowfall... perhaps to ruin Daisy and Dylan’s wedding?
-
Hot Energy
Isabelle
We still don’t know what’s causing the snow storm, but that’s no reason to let it bury the restaurant right before Daisy and Dylan’s wedding. Help me install a magma reactor above the establishment to keep the snow at bay.
Well done. The magma reactor will vaporize the snowflakes in mid-air, before they can accumulate around the restaurant. We still have time to learn if this snowfall is natural, or the result of something more sinister.
-
Suspicious Composition
Isabelle
First, we need to find out what’s causing this snow storm, and then stop it. Let’s take a snow sample so I can study its composition. Would you mind preparing one for me?
This snow sample is perfect. My analysis shows particles of gunpowder, dyes, and magic dust are all present in the snow. But they could be contaminants from the City’s atmosphere, which simply fell along with the snow.
-
A Designer Look
Adeline Svensson
Do you hear that rustling? I’m sure whatever’s making that noise will lead us to an answer about Daisy. Lend me some artifacts to make a hidden lantern. Its light can’t be seen through the windows.
Your artifacts charged the lantern, and I see... a guinea pig in a cute outfit? Oh. I get it now. Daisy sews clothing for animals. Not exactly breaking news, but it’s definitely something.
-
A Skeleton in the Closet
Adeline Svensson
This situation with Daisy is getting under my skin. I spotted a fluffy cat in one of her closets. It wasn’t moving, hopefully as a result of the dazing potion. We need to help that poor animal. I’ll stand by the front door, while you go in there and save the cat.
Okay, I was not expecting this. This fluffy boy isn’t dazed at all. It’s just a toy. But why are there all these stuck needles? Is Daisy dabbling in dark magic? Maybe it’s time to interview her.
-
An Immobilized Target
Adeline Svensson
We’re making progress. While I was at Daisy’s for another dress fitting earlier, I caught a glimpse of an empty bottle with a unique shape. Martha’s the only person who has bottles like that. Might be worth a look.
The purple tincture in this bottle is a dazing potion. Martha has confirmed that Daisy recently requested one, supposedly to help her pet calm down. What kind of animal is Daisy’s pet?
-
A Dangerous Manicure
Adeline Svensson
Regarding Daisy, I felt like I was getting warmer when I stopped by her house and told her I wanted a new dress. I found these weird, round clippers in her toolbox. Ever seen these before?
The Huntress has confirmed your theory that these are claw clippers. They’re not for sewing at all. But why would Daisy need these? We need to get to the bottom of this. And fast.
-
Vague Intentions
Adeline Svensson
I followed Daisy to the Moonshore to try to figure out what she was up to, and noticed a few photos fall out of her bag. They should still be there, right next to the entrance. Let’s see if we can find them.
What the...?! The marks on these photos make the animals look like they’ve been torn apart. Why would Daisy do this? Is she planning some kind of ritual? Or a sacrifice?
-
A Fluffy Clue
Adeline Svensson
Daisy is acting strange. Nobody hides in the bushes with a camera for the thrill of it. I found something at her hiding place. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this werewolf fur?
You’re right. This does look more like dog fur than werewolf fur, which doesn’t make as good of a story. But why is Daisy being so secretive about it? Let’s continue keeping an eye on her.
-
The Mystery on the Surface
Martha
My vision showed this part clearly. That treasure hidden under the restaurant is about to be ours. It’s deep underground, but I can raise it with a special spell. Just need some artifacts to enhance my magic - if you’d be so kind.
The combination of my spell and your artifacts have raised the hidden source to the surface. It’s a locked chest. What could be inside? I sense an ancient magical being... powerful, too.
-
A Three-Headed Guardian
Juliette
I don’t know if the treasure under the restaurant is connected to that sculpture on the roof of a three-headed toad, but it wasn’t there before, which tells me it might be a clue. Can you check it out?
Ah, I couldn’t have done it without you! According to Martha, this three-headed toad is the third seal. The moment of truth has arrived. Let’s find out what’s hidden under the Moonshore.
-
The Singing Deep
Martha
The seals protecting the magical source underneath the Moonshore are quite powerful. So, this is trickier than I anticipated. At one point during my vision, I saw a multi-voiced kalimba. Try to find it down by the water.
Your eyes are sharper than a medium’s! This is the multi-voiced kalimba from my vision. It plays the Song of Eternal Deep, preventing that which is hidden from ever being found. Probably some mage’s favorite treasure.
-
Water Magic
Martha
My vision revealed there is a special seal protecting the magical cache on the shoreline, which means even I’m having trouble locating it. I bet I can remove it if you fetch me some gifts of the seabed.
Amazing! These gifts of the seabed are so beautiful. I’m ready to perform the ritual and unseal the magical cache. But, I can sense other magical energies that might interfere with my spell. Looks like there’s more than one seal.
-
Stone upon Stone
Juliette
Martha told me that to locate the hidden source of the magic, we need to construct a pyramid of chaos that will prevent its energy from dissipating. Can you help me build one?
Wow. Was this your first pyramid of chaos? If so, you’ve got a natural talent for this sort of thing. Martha’s about to charge it up, so keep your fingers crossed. Still can’t figure out why someone would hide such powerful magic underground.
-
Magical Gravity
Martha
Our task is to find a magical cache hidden along this shore. The vision I received came so suddenly that I dropped my astral orb, which I need to help us search. Have you seen it?
You found my astral orb! It’s damaged, but still functional. The energy streams from the crack are flowing downward. We need to look underground. I wonder who that magical cache belongs to, anyway...?
-
Movie Magic
Detective
Based on my description, the Professor made an almost exact replica of the Collector’s movie camera! But to make it work, we need to charge it with powerful artifacts. Do you have any of those?
Thanks, buddy! The glow of your artifacts activated the movie camera! Of course, it doesn’t have the same properties as the Order’s device. But it’s perfect for capturing moments! Dylan will appreciate it.
-
Unexpected Discoveries
Detective
Though the Collector’s movie camera ended up in Avocado’s hands, we uncovered important information about the Puppeteer. As for the Moonshore, the restaurant will continue to thrive under the creative care of Dylan and Daisy, the soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. Moon.
-
A Celebration of the Century
Juliette
Ah, the Detective has set an ambush for whoever comes for the movie camera! But Daisy and I are busy with something equally gripping: a wedding invitation. Can you lend me some artifacts to finish it?
Merci! Your artifacts have securely fastened all the parts together! This is just a mockup, but it’ll be used to make the rest of the invitations for the most stylish wedding in the City of Shadows! How’s the Detective doing?
-
The Big Screen World
Detective
I’m watching the Collector’s movie camera while Dylan and Daisy are busy with pre-wedding stuff. The bride wants to give her love a movie about filmmaking to support him. Can you find one?
I swear you can find anything! That’s a movie by the Capuchins about the wisdom of filmmaking. Daisy’s giving it to her fiancé on their wedding day to honor his talent and support his dreams.
-
A Key of the Father’s Love
Daisy
I have a favor to ask before anyone comes for the Collector’s movie camera. My dad gave me the key to the dowry for the wedding, but I dropped it. Can you help me find it?
Thank you so much! It’s not just a key - it’s the epitome of my dad’s boundless love. It’s from his safe, where he was saving for my future family.
-
A Romantic Movie Adventure
Juliette
Ah, the Detective is hiding out, waiting for someone from the Order to show up for the movie camera! As for Dylan, he’s in a rush to finish his debut screenplay for his spy movie. Can you give him a hand?
Thank you, mon ami. Now Dylan’s going to make copies of the screenplay and give them to the actors. He said the Detective and I are getting the lead roles. What a funny joke! The Detective will be rolling with laughter!
-
A Couturier’s Attributes
Daisy
Hopefully, someone picks up that ill-fated movie camera soon. In the meantime, I’ve got other things to take care of - Dylan ordered a suitcase of fabrics to support my dream of becoming a couturier! Can you find it?
Thank you! This suitcase has everything a fashion designer could dream of. We’re the perfect match - Dylan will make movies, and I’ll sew colorful costumes for his actors!
-
Business Formalities
Detective
Dylan has the movie camera for now, but it’ll lure someone from the Order of the Five out soon. Let’s stay close and help with the wedding preparations. Did you see the restaurant documents?
You’ve got a keen eye, buddy! These are the documents Dylan signed. He’s now the rightful owner of the Moonshore and takes over as the restaurant’s new manager.
-
Supporting Her Dream
Detective
Dylan and Daisy are all set for a romantic evening. The lovers will get engaged, and Dylan will hand the Order’s movie camera over to me. All that’s left to do is wrap a gift for Daisy. Lend me some artifacts.
Thanks, buddy! The artifacts helped us wrap a beautiful gift for Daisy - a special sewing kit. Dylan’s going to support his sweetheart’s dream of becoming a fashion designer, just like he promised.
-
An Emotional Moment
Detective
Dylan plans to propose to Daisy at their reconciliation date. He’s worried he’ll stumble over his words from excitement, so I helped him prepare a message from the heart. Now, where did I put it?
Here it is, the message of the heart. As a man, I get where Dylan’s coming from. It’s crucial to make sure you tell your love the most important thing when you propose.
-
A Lovely Movie Night
Detective
We’ll set up a cozy spot for Dylan and Daisy’s reconciliation. The debutant director will show his beloved a movie about her, and then he’ll give me the Order of the Five’s movie camera. Help me put the couch over there.
Thanks, buddy! This couch is perfect for a romantic evening. It’ll be a cozy spot for the couple to relax. We’ve got to hurry - Jul should be bringing Daisy here soon.
-
Sweet-Sweet Feelings
Juliette
For Dylan and Daisy to make up, we’ll have to organize a special date of confessions for them. It won’t feel complete without some romantic treats, though! Come on, mon ami, let’s prepare them in advance.
Ah, fresh strawberries and cool drinks by candlelight... So romantic! I’m sure Daisy will forgive Dylan once he returns the movie camera.
-
A Cinematic Ode to Love
Juliette
Ah, once Dylan reconciles with Daisy, he’ll turn on the Order of the Five’s camera. He told me he made a movie about his sweetheart and plans to show it on their reconciliation date. Shall we take a look at the footage?
Mon ami! Daisy looks gorgeous in these shots! It’s true when they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder - if their heart is filled with love, that is. I’m sure this couple will be happy together!
-
The Main Question
Detective
Dylan wants to make up with Daisy. We’ll help him prepare a romantic evening where he’ll give up the movie camera and ask her to marry him again. Let’s pick up the engagement ring from the jeweler. Come on, buddy!
It’s the Moons’ family ring. Dylan’s father gave it to him after he agreed to manage the restaurant. The jeweler sized it to fit Daisy’s delicate finger.
-
A Shining Attribute
Daisy
Dylan seems to have gotten into the groove of running a restaurant. He’s even willing to accept the manager’s badge! Well, let’s hurry and find it before my sweetheart changes his mind. Can you lend me some artifacts?
Great! We found the manager’s badge thanks to the glow of your artifacts! If Dylan accepts it and takes over the Moonshore, my dad will give us his blessing, and we can finally be together!
-
A Presentable Appearance
Detective
I haven’t found whatever Dylan took from the Order yet, but the guy clearly has a talent for running a restaurant. He ordered new uniforms for the waitstaff, too! I’ve got to pick it up from the atelier now. Can you give me a hand?
Thank you. I bet these new uniforms will go over well with both staff and visitors. Dylan said Daisy designed them. He’s been stubbornly silent about the Order of the Five, though.
-
Table Reservation
Juliette
I’m sure Dylan himself will tell us what item from the Order of the Five he has. He’s just busy making reservations, and the phone at the reception desk isn’t working properly. Can you help me fix it?
Mon ami, you fixed the phone and Dylan did a great job sorting out all the reservations. Daisy will be pleased he’s doing so well. I hope there won’t be any more secrets between them!
-
Auditorium Maintenance
Detective
Dylan’s doing a good job as a restaurant manager so far. He used his tools to set up the movie projector. Let’s find them and see if anything among them might belong to the Order of the Five.
Thanks, buddy! These are the same tools Dylan used to set up the projector. Nothing suspicious among them, though. At least the projector’s working perfectly now.
-
Financial Accounting
Daisy
I’m glad Dylan’s into movies, not crime! Maybe running a movie-themed restaurant will suit him. He does need to handle some financial accounting. Let’s find an arithmometer to help.
Thank you! This accurate arithmometer helped Dylan make a perfect financial report. He even admitted that he’s starting to enjoy the restaurant business!
-
Grocery Shopping
Detective
Let’s help Dylan become a director - a restaurant director - and he’ll tell us what he took from the Order of the Five. Let’s start by finding props... I mean, buying food. What do we have in the fridge?
Dylan did well: the restaurant refrigerator is packed with fresh ingredients for the best dishes. But so far, I haven’t seen anything that looks like an item belonging to the Order.
-
A Notebook of Answers
Detective
I have a theory about what Dylan’s hiding. We can probably confirm it by taking a look in that notebook that’s disguised as a film slate. Let me borrow some of your artifacts so I can take a peek.
Dylan was distracted by the glow of your artifacts and left his disguised notebook on the table. Bingo! This is his diary. We’ll find what he’s been hiding from Daisy somewhere within these pages.
-
Signals in the Sky
Juliette
Dylan’s behavior is making me anxious, mon ami. Is he really a thief? Or a spy? Or maybe something worse? Ah, poor Daisy! Oh, what are those signs he’s holding up to the projector? We’ll have to check.
These are the signs Dylan used to send signals to the sky through the projector! They show a bird, a moon, and the number 5. These must be signals for the Order of the Five. Ah, there’s a note here: "For protagonist." What does that mean?
-
A Spectacular Getaway
Detective
Dylan’s been doing some shady business behind Daisy’s back that’s somehow connected with the Order of the Five. He’s been acting suspicious - surrounding himself with ciphers and weird devices. And now he’s hanging around a speedboat. Take a look!
I swear on my badge, Dylan’s got a runaway speedboat! The guy made sure he’s got a way to make a quick getaway. There’s a note here saying "long shot." Is he armed? We gotta be careful.
-
Dubious Film
Detective
We learned that Dylan was setting up spy-like devices and leaving encrypted messages. And just now, the guy was labeling film reels! Let’s find out what’s on them.
Let’s run the reels on the projector - they could contain secret information shot by Dylan! Hmm, they’re labeled as famous movies. Oh, these really are movies. That’s weird.
-
A Mysterious Cipher
Juliette
I’ll follow Dylan with you and help you figure out what he’s up to. The Detective saw him setting up his devices, and I saw him leave messages on the table! Could you find them, mon ami?
Ah, these messages are encrypted! No idea what they mean. Wait, there’s a book over here. It’s a textbook on secret ciphers! But this isn’t a cipher from the textbook. Dylan must’ve made up his own.
-
A Strategic Preparation
Detective
We’ll secretly follow Dylan to uncover his dark secrets. Look, the guy’s setting up suspicious equipment! Let’s take a closer look at those devices.
Turns out Dylan was setting up a portable movie camera with a lapel mic. He could be spying on someone. I doubt he’s just out here making movies. Let’s keep watching him.
-
Under Lock and Key
Daisy
Dylan hasn’t left the Moonshore since his marriage proposal was rejected. He’s hiding something in his safe, some kind of secret. I’m afraid it might be something dangerous and illegal! We’ll have to take a look in there. Could you lend me some artifacts?
Thank you! The glow from your artifacts opened the safe! I don’t mean to pry; I’m just really scared for Dylan... Oh! There’s nothing dangerous in here... just letters. But from who?
-
An Undesirable Groom
Daisy
Despite Dylan’s odd behavior at the Moonshore, my beloved officially asked my dad for my hand in marriage! But things went horribly wrong. Find the letter in the pastry basket.
This basket of pastry is my dad’s polite refusal. In the letter, he explained to Dylan why he wouldn’t agree to the marriage. He thought Dylan was immature for not signing the contract.
-
A Father and a Son
Daisy
Dylan and I became more and more convinced we were meant for each other. We made plans for our future. But our happiness was ruined when he refused to sign a contract at the Moonshore. Here, take a look.
It’s a contract to put the Moonshore under Dylan’s management. Mr. Moon wanted to hand over the family business to his son, but he refused. Said he had something else he wanted to do...
-
The Scarlet Sails of Love
Daisy
Before he started acting strange, Dylan used to visit me at the bakery where I work. I shared my secrets with him, even my deepest dreams. One day, he brought me a ship in a bottle. Can you find it?
Dylan gave me this ship when I told him I wanted to be a fashion designer. He said it helps dreamers make their wishes come true. And one day, we’ll make ours come true - together.
-
The Cocktail Phase
Daisy
Dylan didn’t keep anything from me. He told me right away he was the Moonshore owner’s son. He’d take me on wonderful dates at the restaurant and surprise me with pleasant little things. Can you find them on the table?
That’s right, it’s a blue curacao cocktail. I loved it at the restaurant opening, and Dylan remembered. He served it to me with a bouquet of pink daisies and said they’re as beautiful as me...
-
A Fateful Meeting
Daisy
When the Moonshore Restaurant mysteriously appeared in the City, it instantly became a hit. The owner, Mr. Moon, threw a grand opening! I’ve got a photo of it right here. Take a look.
I didn’t believe in love at first sight. But when I walked into the restaurant, a young waiter caught my eye and captivated my heart. That’s how I met Dylan, and our feelings were mutual.
-
Secrets of the Heart and Beyond
Detective
So far, the anonymous tip-off about the Collector has only led me to Jul and a stranger begging me to help her lover. If this mystery is tied to the Order of the Five, I’ll find out and write it all in the Diary.
-
New Level of Mastery
Detective
Do you remember the case of the Borgia’s treasures? I think we have missed some important details. I desperately need to find a new piece of evidence. The item I require is at the %s location, but it will be hard to find. Reach %s level to find the new evidence.
Great! Partner, you have become more and more important to my investigation. With a new rank, you will be able to find new items that were hidden from you previously.
-
On the Collector’s Trail
Detective
According to my anonymous tipster, the Collector could be here. My gut tells me there’s something off about this place. I wonder what surprises await us on the shoreline? I guess we’ll find out soon. Keep your eyes open!
Hmm, I don’t see anyone here that could be the Collector. Look at these people - eating seafood, drinking cocktails, watching romantic movies... Wait... that’s Jul! She’s with some young woman.

A Paradise on Earth
Detective
We’re one step away from entering the location. What will we find there? New mysteries of the City are waiting to be uncovered. Go on, enter!
The location is now open! Do you feel the pull of new adventures? The magic of the City is calling out to us!

Commotion at the Farm
Detective
Well, I’ve got quite an unusual case - a bold crime at an alpaca farm. All I know is that the Conductor is a frequent guest here - he buys the local yarn for knitting. Let’s check it out!
It’s kinda hard to concentrate with all these cute animals feeding out here. Hey, look, I think that alpaca is smiling at me! Okay, why don’t you take a look around, buddy?

The First Test
Vera
We’ve finished assembling Thomas’s device. It looks unusual. Needless to say, I’m intrigued. We’re ready to launch, but we should take the necessary precautions first. Can I borrow some of your artifacts, just to be safe?
Phew! Your artifacts kept the device’s power in check. According to the sensors, the air in this room is now totally clean. Every last particle of fog? Poof, gone. This device will prove indispensable to the City.

On the Verge of Success
Vera
It seems like Thomas was rushing to finish these blueprints by a certain deadline, so I believe his device will make a huge impact on the City. Let’s finish with the mechanical control console, and see the results.
Thanks to you, the mechanical console is fully assembled and attached to the device. I’m going to double-check each part against Thomas’s blueprints, and then we can move on to testing it.

The Breath of Science
Vera
Thomas’s blueprints are highly complex. It appears he was counting on having some assistance building the device. I’m glad you’re here to help me with it. Let’s assemble the rotor turbines.
You’ve been a humongous help! These rotor turbines blow air in and out. But I can’t fathom the purpose of the device as a whole. Let’s continue assembling.
-
Separate and Neutralize
Vera
The blueprints for Thomas’s mysterious device include an aerofilter for cleaning. I’m pretty familiar with this part already, so I’ve gone ahead and assembled it for us. Let’s proceed with installing the filter.
You’re doing a fantastic job! The aerofilter is fully installed. I wish I knew what Thomas was thinking when he invented this thing. But I’m even more interested in its practical applications.
-
A Sensor of the Unknown
Vera
The next part of the device shown in the blueprints is a microanalyzer. I don’t know what it does, but we can’t waste time. Let’s put it together anyway. This could lead to a technological breakthrough.
The microanalyzer is assembled. Well done! I see now it’s a precise tool for measuring air pollution. I wonder if its sensor can detect anything else?
-
An Unknown Mechanism
Vera
Thomas left behind detailed blueprints for an invention, but we don’t know what it does yet. The first and most essential part is the singularity sphere. Can you help me put it together?
Thanks, great job! The device can’t function without the singularity sphere. Thomas specified tons of detail in these blueprints. This obviously wasn’t his first invention.

Extracting the Data
Angélique
You have found important information about the Order of the Five, which I will add to my files. But extracting the data requires energy. Provide me with a few artifacts, and I will activate the memory projection.
Your artifacts helped me recover the following information. The crystal Fly gave the Collector is of great importance to him, and he is likely to return for it. Save the crystal, and he will come to you.
-
Museum Evidence
Kira Woodville
It’s all starting to add up. Thomas said he traded the crystal that started his time machine for a typechorium, like the one in the Mansion. Can you find it?
The typechorium is like a strange cousin of the typewriter. Inside it is a sheet of faded text that reads, "A bridge between the past and future." Let’s show this to Angélique and see if it’s included in her data on the Collector.
-
A Lost Fragment
Angélique
The archives mention a book Fly wrote, or rather will write in the future, about her explorations of the past. That book may contain information on the Collector. Have you seen a copy of it anywhere?
Yes, this is Fly’s future memoir! It says that during her travels to the past, her time machine broke down and was fixed by a young inventor named Thomas. As a token of her thanks, Fly gave him a shard of chronocrystal.
-
Echoes of the Past
Angélique
My analysis leads me to the conclusion that members of the Order of the Five were meeting at the Architect’s house. There may be information about their meetings here. Let’s search for an archive of the Order’s records.
This is indeed the Order’s archive, but it is encrypted. The only fact I could decrypt is that Fly traveled to the past to study history. Anything about her connection to the Collector is sealed.
-
A Stranger’s Face
Kira Woodville
I saw Thomas drop a photo of a young woman before he disappeared. Since he’s the young Collector, that photo could be relevant to Angélique’s data. Help me find it.
You found it. Thanks! According to Angélique, the woman in the photo’s name is Fly. She’s from the distant future. But how did the photo end up with Thomas, in the past? We need more info.
-
Familiar Energy
Angélique
It is likely the seal on the data inside me has been weakened by the radiation of a crystal that appeared recently in this Mansion. Bring me the crystal, and I will decipher the data.
Thank you. The crystal’s energy has given me access to certain data regarding the Collector, or rather, a woman who is both of the past and future, and is of great importance to him. Information incomplete...
-
A Path Home
Kira Woodville
I believe we’re about to open a way out of the City. The funnel must trigger the last part of the mechanism, but how? Wait. I think I have a solution. Give me some artifacts.
Your artifacts activated something. The table flipped over, and a model of a house appeared. You’re saying this is the mysterious House with Red Windows? Hmm, I haven’t seen one like it in the City. But it must be important to the Order of the Five.
-
The Butterfly Effect
Kira Woodville
The exit is likely under the table. Look at what just came out of the table! A platform for another key, probably meant for the last item on the list: the butterfly roller organ. It’s around here somewhere. Will you help me find it?
Incredible. As the butterfly flapped its wings, a funnel appeared in the center of the table. But that was the last item on Thomas’s list. There must be another step needed to solve the riddle.
-
C Major Scale
Kira Woodville
What is the purpose of the items from Thomas’s list? To show us the Order of the Five’s secrets, or a way out of the City? It’s all still a big question mark. Next, we need to find one of the Master’s more unusual musical instruments, called a tensor lyre.
Now, we’ve got the tensor lyre. Excellent. But I have no idea how it’s supposed to help... wait! Did you see that? When I plucked the lyre’s strings, the tabletop spun a little. That must be it!
-
The Planet Parade
Kira Woodville
An opening appeared in the mural. Is the way out located behind that wall? The gap resembles the astronomical model from Thomas’s list, also known as a galacticon. C’mon, help me find it.
Thanks! The galacticon fit perfectly in the recessed part of the mural. But, check this out. The armchairs have now moved away from the table in the center of the room! Let’s take another look around. There should be a new clue somewhere.
-
Within One’s Grasp
Kira Woodville
Thomas’s list shows a mechanical hand, probably related to the Puppeteer. Would that show us the way out? Look at the armrest of the chair. One hand’s already there. Let’s try to find the other one.
You found the mechanical hand. Nice work! It depressed a secret button inside the armrest and made a sound. Could that rustle have been the opening of a secret passage... my way out of the City?
-
A Knight’s Move
Kira Woodville
The items on Thomas’s list seem to open some kind of lock. The first one is a chess piece. I found it next to a slot in the table. Hmm, I wonder if it’s supposed to go there?
The knight fits perfectly into the slot! Did you hear that click? It must’ve triggered a mechanism inside the table. I suspect it’s part of a more complex key we still need to assemble.
-
A Proper Welcome Home
Kira Woodville
We’ve cleaned up the house, but the air inside is still stale - it’s hard to breathe. I’d open a window, but it won’t budge - the Architect has her own system. Let’s try opening it with your artifacts.
Thank you! Your artifacts opened the window to a gorgeous garden - it’s truly inspiring! And finally, the air in the room is fresh - the Architect will be happy to return home.
-
Old Acquaintances
Rayden Storke
Well, that was something! The Architect has been trapped all along, the young Collector rescues her, and the Master is likely is main culprit of this story! The Order of the Five is now active again. But as for me, I’m just glad Kira stayed in the City.
-
A Step into the Unknown
Thomas
What’s there to know? I immediately found a spatial key near the illusory mural. No surprise - I keep my keys by the door, too. Now, we just need to charge it. May I borrow your artifacts?
Your artifacts are perfect! The charged key easily unlocked the passage to the Crossroads. But where is the Architect? The corridors of realities are getting farther away - she won’t make it in time... I must help her!
