Light in the crystal
Martha
I'm indeed interested in finding other pieces of Borgia treasure. But to conduct a search rite we'll need a special flashlight which we'll use to light the crystal ball at a certain angle. Such a light is rare, but the Conductor said he saw one in the plane's wreckage.
Let me see. Yes, that will do. I'll place it near the ball and we can start the ritual.
-
Chinese Rings
Martha
Since we've decided to get into these puzzles, let's find the next one - it's the "Ring Puzzle". This puzzle is also called "Chinese Rings". Let's see what properties the Collector bestowed on it.
This is a complex and entertaining puzzle whos solution causes a change inside the Collector's room, opening drawers and recesses. It's the key to controlling the hidden mechanisms. But I still have to figure out how to use it.
-
Crimson earrings
Valerie
You'll never guess where I hid Lucrezia's earrings - in City Hall. Martha once said that they act as a love potion, making a man's heart beat faster when he sees a woman wearing them. Lucrezia wore the earrings the night her brother Cesare killed her husband, Giovanni.
Here's the second trinket, which I'll put in the vault. We need three more pieces. While you visited Valerie I consulted Martha. She's interested in your search and wants to use her crystal ball to pinpoint the location of the other pieces.

Juliette the Ballerina
Juliette
I think we have found everything needed for this Ballerina Outfit I have one more tiny little favor to ask you. Help me arrange this outfit beautifully. Do you happen to have any little amulets to spare, to give the outfit a spceical aura? Rest assured, I'll repay the favor.
Thank you, mon ami. This Ballerina Outfit is beautiful. I can't wait to start practicing again. Do you want to be my dance partner? You don't like dancing? Well, I'll have to convince the Detective. As for you, take this humble token of my appreciation.

Hall Of Weddings
Martha
We have everything to open the location. Open the door and find out what mysteries the City has been storing behind it for so many years.
Great! The location is now unlocked and available for exploration.
-
The Collector's Puzzles
Martha
I looked through lots of tomes in City Hall. The game machine is an invention of the Collector, the researcher of the City's secrets. The notes say that along with the machine, the Collector created puzzles that bestow special abilities on anyone who manages to solve them. I really want to get my hands on the Collector's puzzles. Judging by the notes, you can get them from the game machine. Help me get the first puzzle - the "Collector's Cube".
What a wonderful puzzle! It's an ordinary Rubik's Cube, but there are letters and symbols on each square. If you run into a dead end, use a hint. After assembling the cube, you'll be able to read the phrase. The puzzle will be very useful for an explorer of caves and tunnels.
-
Ballet Footwear
Juliette
All that remains is to find one small, but very important part of the ballerina's costume - Pointe Shoes.
I decided to watch Swan Lake the other day. The ballerina's movements were impeccably elegant. It looked as if her pointe shoes weren't footwear but a part of her body. But that's only how it looks from a distance. In reality, pointe shoes are worse than prisoners' manacles.
-
Ballet Tatu
Juliette
The main item of the ballerina's costume is the Tutu. It reflects the style, taste, and charisma of the ballerina. Try to find one for me.
I knew you could handle it. This Tutu is the height of elegance and beauty. I'm overjoyed!
-
Ice Watch
Detective
Buddy, there's something suspicious in Lumica's ball invitation, what do you think? She's obviously plotting something! let's take a look at the Ice Place and find out what its mistress is actually preparing!
Will you look at that - everything in the courtyard is decorated with lights, the icy paths have been creared, and there are birds chirping. Everything's ready for receiving guests. Hmm, maybe I was wrong?
-
Girl's last rejoice
Valerie
Lucrezia's earrings? Well, yes, I have them but it took a lot of effort to get them. I like you and Detective, of course, but it's so cruel of you to take the last bit of joy from a girl's life! Okay, okay, maybe not the last. Actually, I don't look that good in red and these earrings are like drops of blood. So, some other jewellery can bring me even more joy. What jewellery? You can find various pretty thinkets in the City.
This is so sweet! You know how to make a girl happy. The earrings are now yours. Don't get angry but there's a small problem: I don't have them with me. I hid them so nobody would steal them.
-
Hair Up
Juliette
Now let's pick up a Hair Net for the costume. Ballerinas can't dance with their hair all over the place. I'll leave this task to you.
Such a fine Hair Net. With each new item of clothing, I remember more and more memories from my childhood.
-
Silk Stockings
Juliette
Another item from a ballerina's wardrobe are Stockings. I think I know where to find some.
Did you know that stockings used to be a male item of clothing? It's a shame that went out of fashion.
-
To my good friend...
Detective
A friend in the court is better than a penny in the purse. It's good to have a friend you can rely on. But don't forget to reciprocate. Bring happiness to friends by sending gifts right now! Gratitude doesn't wait for itself - a real friend always thanks you with gifts.
Great! I know that you're a dependable friend. Send gifts to your friends more often. They will appreciate your help, and will surely respond to you in kind.
-
Always Connected
Juliette
Finally! Now you can get in touch with those who helped us again and again. You can thank them for their help, ask their advice and give or receive gifts. Now you can say so much to each other!
Incredible! Your message will be delivered to your friends and then they'll respond. You'll see.
-
Telephone Hook
Martha
Every telephone has a Telephone Hook. Our Mystic Telephone is no exception. Find the Hook, it must be at one of the locations.
Is this a Telephone Hook? Are you sure? I would've walked past it without a second glance.
-
Hear the Caller
Martha
It's obvious that any telephone needs a handset if you want to speak to someone and hear their replies. Look for the Handset of the Mystic Telephone.
This looks like a standard handset. I hope it will fit the Mystic Telephone and make it work.
-
Scare off the ghosts
Martha
When we perform the ritual, all the gosts in the City will try to stop us. Only the moonlight reflected in a spirit mirror can scare them off. Find such a mirror.
Unfortunately, we can only use this mirror once. So if you're going to need another charm, you'll have to find another mirror.
-
Seal of Peace
Martha
To seal the gates to the netherworld, a wreath is placed on the tomb as a symbol of eternity. The ghosts then take the wreathes in the hope that the gates will open again so that they can again be at peace. Every ghost is likely to have at least one.
The dried flowers from this wreath will serve as an excellent filling material for the charm.
-
Burial Tradition
Martha
After death, a person's spirit is weighed on the Scales of Destiny. If it is lighter than a feather, then it disappears into the aether. On the other hand, if the spirit is weighed down by sins or unfinished business it turns into a ghost. Ghosts carry these very feathers with them. We're going to need some to make the charm.
Perfect. I can feel the lightness from the spirit feathers of that ghost you took them from.
-
Return of Power
Martha
Now that we have all the items belonging to the great mages and wizards, I'll try to bring back my old abilities. I hope that I'll have enough strength for one spell. Iu I don't, then Merlin's Staff will just serve as a walking stick. Please bring a couple of the City's artifacts here too - they will definitely be useful.
I'm so greateful. You managed to protect the City and calm the dark storm. You also helped me to get back my magical abilities. Here, take this artifact - it's one of the most ancient in the City. Never ever agree to exchange it with the Wanderers! Keep my present for the future - it will strengthen your abilities many times over.
-
Hourglass Figure
Juliette
Thank you so much for agreeing to help me. The first thing I need for the ballet outfit is a Corset.
It feels strange to wear a corset again, but no matter - art requires sacrifice.
-
Mage's Power
Martha
We're doing well with combating the magical storm so far. The dark spirit window is closed. All that remains is for me to get my abilities back. I'll need merlin's Staff to get the power of all the mages' artifacts together. Will you find it for me?
An ancient magical staff... There were legends about it in the academy. They said that Merlin put his soul into it when he was dying.
-
Power Over the Elements
Martha
If you can quickly find Pentagrammaton's Ring, I'll close the window of the dark spirits and save the energy of the City.
I'll explain the meaning of the ritual to you. Pentagrammaton's Ring gives its owner power over the four elements. With its power I will finally calm the magical storm and close the window through which the energy of the City is being drawn away.
-

-
Send three friend requests
Juliette
Mon Ami, if luck isn't on your side in finding required collection items, you can always ask for it from your friends. They will see your request and share the rare item with you if they have it. Because a friend in need is a friend indeed.
Great, the request has been sent to your friends. Here's a little tip: your friends might not have the item you need, so they can't always help. But don't worry! Add more friends - other discoverers might have the item you need. The more friends you have, the faster help will arrive.
-
An Entomologist's Dream
Detective
Everything is ready to prepare the "panacea against poisons". There's just one small thing left to do. We need to put the butterflies side by side and surround them with magical artifacts.
So here it is - the universal antidote against all poisons. I'm going to keep it with me in case someone urgently needs it whilst you're at the other end of the City looking for sweeties for Valerie. You can keep the frame with the butterflies - doesn't it look lovely?
-
Antique Microphone
Martha
We need to find the five main parts of the Mystic Telephone. The blueprints show that the first part is a special Microphone. I'm sure finding it won't be easy - there aren't many things like that in the City.
It seems you found the right Microphone, even though I'm not good with technology.
-
Gigantic Butterfly
Detective
Only one ingredient is left to be found for the universal antidote. It's called the Giant Striped Morpho butterfly. Be careful in your search - this butterfly is huge.
What a size! This butterfly could lift a hare! No wonder it's called a "giant".
-
Popular Place
Detective
The Mayor prepared quite a surprise, right, buddy? Today, the whole City has gathered at the Golden Daisies Alley. There's no room to swing a cat! Come on, I know a shortcut to the Alley. We need to make sure that the citizens maintain order, and also take a look around this place awash with flowers.
-
Visit your friends!
Valerie
I love visiting friends! When I visit my friends, I never forget to help them out and run some errands for them. As thanks for my kind heartedness, my frinds help me in return. Exploring the City with your friends is not only exciting, but also beneficial - every friend that visits you will give you several nice bonuses. Visit your friend and help them in the game. I'm sure you'll like it.
You did it! Did you like visiting your friend? Interesting, right? It's great to help your friends. Wait and see you won't need to wait long for their thanks.
-
Send three gifts
Juliette
There's nothing better than exchanging presents with your friends, is there? Presents are sent absolutely free. Send three presents to any of your friends.
Wonderful! Your friends are sure to appreciate your generosity and will send gifts back as a sign of gratitude. You can give presents to your friends every day!
-
謎の殺人
-
Deadly Beauty
Detective
Alomost all of the ingredients for the universal antidote have been found. We will also need the Morpho Adonis butterfly. Find this wonderful creation.
It looks like the wings of this butterfly are glowing. Do you think it's meant to attract or scare? You probably already know that Adonis was famous for his beauty. Even Aphrodite fell in love with him, and she was the Goddess of Love.
-
Tarot Reading
Martha
The magical storm is unlikely to get stronger now, and I still have enough power to predict the future. However, I'll need special tarot cards to do it - the cards of Marie Lenormand.
You found Lenormand's Cards? Let's have a look... Mountain, cross, sun and tower. Difficulties and obstacles, great trials are on the way, but we'll be successful in the end - the tower will protect us. However, the combination of the rider and the scythe makes me wary. It shows some sort of window through which dark spirits can get here. This window also saps the energy of the City.
-
Protective Ward
Martha
It's just as I thought! The magical storm is no accident! Some dark mage is sending these whirlwinds to take magical energy away from us and from the City. Nostradamus prophesied that Morgaine's Ward can interfere with this if it's used correctly. Will you help to find it?
Morgaine's Ward was created to calm dark whirlwinds - it turns them into a light breeze. I'll use it immediately.
-
Crystals
Cardsharp
We have all the parts we need to switch on the mini-game machine. Activate the machine - you can get rare and valuable prizes for winning the mini-games.
The machine's internal parts are starting to move - the mechanical magician is coming to life, inviting you to play a mini-game.
-
Add three friends
Juliette
Mon ami, the number fo Shadow City citizens is growing each day. There are novices as well as experienced discoverers among them. Go meet other players. Then, you and your friends can help each other by sending gifts, collection items and assemblers.
Wonderful! Now you have three friends in the City of Shadows. You can now give each friend one assembler every day and get assemblers from them in exchange. It's completely free!
-
Shining in the darkness
Detective
To get the diadem and identify the murderer, we have to start with the hairpin. What did Martha say? It was Cesare's, the yonger brother who killed giovanni, the first husband of his sister, Lucrezia. One night, Cesare went into their bedroom and stabbed the hairpin into the man's chest. The hairpin flashed red as if drinking the blood. Let's begin.
Here's the first bloodstained trinket. I don't want to touch it with my bare hands. I have a magically protected vault which I'll use to store the Borgia treasures. While you talked to Martha I recalled another trinket - Valerie once mentioned Lucrezia's earrings She's a flighty girl, but she wouldn't like. Maybe we should talk to her.
-
All the Colors of the Rainbow
Detective
The next ingredient for the antidote is the poison of the Morpho Aurora butterfly. can you find one?
Look at the way the light plays on the wings of this butterfly. It's no wonder that it was named after Aurora, the Goddess of the Dawn. But don't let its beauty deceive you - its poison is very dangerous.
-
Murder in the city?
Detective
Borgia treasures have been long lost, I have no idea where to look for them. I hope City Hall has some records Help me find any mentions of Borgia treasures, this'll help in the murder investigation.
You've found records about the Borgia family treasures. Okay, diadem... How interesting! It says here that the diadem does not exist by itself. It appears only if you put together five other Borgia treasures that are called "minor jewelleary". The first of them is Cesare's pin. Wait, I'll tell you its story...
-
Tie to the Past
Martha
Ghosts are pale shadows of people, trapped between worlds. They come to the world of the living with bloodcurdling moans and pester people. Often they appear because of special items connected with their past or the cause of their death. Let's try to find the reason for their attention to Juliette.
Upon vanishing, this gorst left behind a cameo with a portrait of a Countess. I be, she played a part in the death of this man, and now his spirit can't rest in peace until he has his revenge.
-
Tech Wonders
Detective
What is that device inthe safe? It's probably a 'mobile phone' but of course, it's dead. In this damned city you can only recharge it with powerful artifacts. Find them, quickly.
Looks like we did it, partner. This technical wonder is switched on. Olay, let's listen...
-
Ancient Prophecy
Martha
I want to find out how long this magical storm will last. I must know for sure whether I can deal with it myself or whether we need to call for help. I also need to restore my magical power as sonn as possible. It can't be done without special items that belonged to famous mages. Please find me Nostradamus' Quill first.
I'll tell you a secret - what was once written will never disappear. This quill will help me to recreate the prophecy of Nostradamus regarding this magical storm in the City.
-
Ghostly Pursuer
Martha
Great, now you have a trap that can banish a spirit from our world.
-
Poisonous Theseus
Detective
The second ingredient for the antidote is the poison of the Morpho Theseus butterfly. It's strange that a mixture of poisons is a poison antidote... But I believe in the Collector's genius.
Have you already guessed that the butterfly is named after Theseus? I believe that its coloring symbolises Theseus' visit to the Kingdom of the Dead when he was helping Hades kidnap Persephone.
-
Experienced Forensic Expert
Detective
It says here that the secret organization's important information was spread by mobile phones. A mobile phone - what is that? In any case, if such a thing exists, it will be stored in that iron safe in the corner. It's locked, of course, but it's not a problem for such an experienced forensic expert like me. I just need a listening device to hear the clicks of the lock. Can you find it?
Here, I'll show you how to crack open a safe. You take the device, attach it to the door and turn the disk until you hear a click. Then you turn it in the opposite direction and continue like that until the safe is opened...
-
Bloody Developer
Detective
Well, well, this is a really rare type of ink that can only be seen with a developer made from werewolf blood. well at least that's something our City has in abundance. I'm sure you won't have any trouble finding some.
I was absolutely right. As soon as we used the developer, letters started appearing in the corpus.
-
Invisible Ink
Detective
Damn! This truly is a secret organization! They probably made all their records in invisible ink. We won't be able to see it without a developer. But every kind of ink requires its own developer, so we won't know which one we need until we find the ink.
Wonderful! I'll take a quick look at my forensic guide and find out how we should develop the records made with this ink.
-
Cache Under the Floor
Detective
Typical Collector! As soon as we finished the symbol, a part of the floor went down, opening yet another cache. Look at all these papers! We should read them for mention of the secret society. There're diaries, regulations, and all sorts.
Just as I thought: the secret corpus of Knowledge Keepers. I can't wait to discover the secrets inside... But all the pages are empty, what a disappointment!
-
Let's dig a little deeper
Detective
The Lens of Time shows the spots in the City of Shadows where tha fabric of time is especially thin. You will be able to peek into the past of locations and find evidence that has been lost in the present. I'm sure, there is a a piece of chalk there.
You brought chalk, I hope? Greate, finish the symbol, quickly.
-
Sweet Mixed Chocolates
Martha
Just one small thing remains - all of the sweets that have been found need to be put into the gift box, and a few rituals need to be performed to make it look the way it was. Witches are very sensitive and they won't touch sweets that were in the hands of anyone apart from the masterful Ghirardelli.
This unpleasant theft of the sweets has ended very well. We will do some magic over the sweets. What if the thief wanted to poison us? We'll also try and find the thief. Take this artifact as our token of gratitude for your help.
-
Nuts 'n' Chocolate
Martha
The hazelnut chocolate that was also in the box was covered with tiny nuts. I don't know which small nuts, but they were tasty. Will you find it?
I think you found just the right thing. There are nuts all over this chocolate candy and hazelnuts inside. Anyway, I think it's hazelnts. Let's refrain from tasting it.
-
Grilled Nut Candy
Martha
If you find the Grilled Nut Candy, I promise you a really lovely surprise as a reward.
This isn't just a simple candy. It's a culinary masterpiece. This Grilled Nut Candy also contains sweetmeats and century-old cognac.
-
White Chocolate
Martha
Since you're so lucky, maybe you can find the white chocolate candy from the famous chocolatier?
White chocolate, filled with almonds in caramel. So tasty! I think the congress will continue, and the bad memories will be erased from my mind.
-
Milk Chocolate
Martha
There were other sweets in the box made of milk chocolate. The filling is yogurt and strawberry. I hope the thieves have not eaten them yet - hurry up.
I'm really happy that the milk chocolate candy wasn't eaten.
-
Black Chocolate
Martha
There were all sorts of sweets in the missing box. Here's one made of pure black chocolate with a rum cherry inside. An unforgettable taste.
Oh, a sweet made of bitter black chocolate! Thanks for helping so quickly.
-
Poisonous Butterfly
Detective
I was looking through the Collector's records and I found an interesting recipe. The manuscript speaks of a "Panacea against poisons." This sort of item would be bery useful for us considering the many venomous monsters in the City. Will you be able to find the ingredients we need? Really? Well then, we'll first need the poison of the Morpho Hecuba butterfly.
Isn't it a pretty butterfly? It was named after the wife of King Prima, who was famous for her revenge.
-
Audacious Theory
Detective
All these inventions by the Collector are really suspicious. It's unbelievable that a single person could know so much. I've read about a secret organization of Knowledge Keepers that existed in the City and I'm almost sure that our Collector was one of them. Alas, without evidence, it's just a theory. But these Keepers had special headwear that doubled as passes into their secret meetings. If the Collector has one of them, we'll definitely find it here! Will you help me find it?
You found a Master's cap! Look at this strange symbol that's drawn on it. It seems, my theory is right!
-
Useful Baggage
Juliette
Mon ami, you'll never be left empty-handed in the City of Shadows. an Inventory of the useful items you've managed to obtain is always at your disposal. Look inside.
Wonderful! All your useful items are kept in the Inventory. Use them to breeze through the game. Complete quests in the City of Shadows and replenish your Inventory.
-
Behind the Cache's Door
Detective
We've found all the parts of the mechanical man. Now we just have to assemble this amazing machine according to the blueprint. I still can't believe that he will come alive and follow the orders that the Collector put inside him years ago! If it's true, then the mechanical man will point us to the clue Jacob was talking about in your vision.
The iron man awakens! He walks about the room, moving items, as if he's conductiong a complex ritual. I think I know what he's doing. Look, he's pulling secret levers hidden in the room. A cache has opened on a completely smooth wall! And it hides a letter...
-
Soul of Iron
Detective
The robot will be just a useless pile of metal until we find his heart. Find the heart of the machine in the Collector's House, where the creator hid it.
Do you think there's really a soul inside the heart on the mechanical man? Who knows. But I can say this: the Collector was a genius inventor.
-
Clock with a Secret
Detective
I'm sure the Collector hid a part of his brain's creation in the Room of Fate. This is the place where the fabric of the world is thinnest and where Martha often speaks with spirits. We have to disturb our medium, but I'm sure she will be understanding and forgiving. Find the last part of the mechanical man.
See, I was right! The Collector hid the moving mechanism in an old self-winding clock in Martha's room. He knew that the clock is impossible to break, so the mechanism would be completely safe inside it.
-
Poetic Riddle
Detective
"A head is a part of a body"... I'm sure we'll find the next part of the mechanical man nearby. Seems like we have to search blindly. Let's begin.
We already have four parts of the mechanical man created by the Collector. But we are still missing the last part - the moving mechanism. There's another clue inside the torso. "Where the world's fabric thins, where spirits speak and fates are shaped, where brain creation and the power of knowledge is hidden." Where do spirits speak?
-
Obliging House
Detective
Fog thickens over City Hall, penetrating even locked doors and windows. It's hard to discern objects, only their outlines are visible. Citizens call this Silhouettes. And in this gloom, I see the outline of a mechanical man's head - hurry and find it.
A steel head was cleverly hidden inside a knight's helmet that was adorning the wall in City Hall. Did you notice the inscription on the back of the helmet? 'A head is a part of a body. Where there is one, another will be close by.' One more riddle, that old Collector was one crafty fellow.
-
A Code Again
Detective
Where should we look for the rest of the mechanical man? There are mysterious symbols scratched into the back wall of locker number 13. This must be a code, but we won't crack it without another on of the Collector's inventions - the Deciphering Globe. We need this sophisticated device.
Deciphering... Just as I thought, this is another clue to the next part's whereabouts. And yet another puzzle, listen... 'A house of a thousand books that keeps order in the City.'
-
Legs and a Journey
Detective
The Collector's note says, "Steel footsteps are heard where the unknown beckons a traveller." I bet you anything, it's talking about the Station. Every time I'm there I feel the urge to go travelling myself. I'm sure we'll find another part of the mechanical man at the Station of Forgotten Dreams.
Steel legs were in the locker room inside locker number 13. The Collector sure is sly; most citizens of the City are so superstitious that they wouldn't risk peeking in a locker with the number 13.
-
A Firm Fist
Detective
Look, the right palm of the mechanical man is forming a fist. What a firm fist... you can't even uncurl it with your bare hands. There must be a note in it. How do you unclench a steel fist? Maybe we should try lock picks? Look for some, please.
I managed to uncurl the steel fingers with the lock picks. There was a note inside and the paper was unusual, very thick and slippery.
-
Unique Body
Detective
According to the Collector's blueprints, this mechanical man primarily consists of five parts. I have no idea where to look for the other parts, but I saw something resembling a pair of hands at the Conductor's Station Find the first part of the robot.
These steel hands are so strong. I'm sure they're the ones drawn on the blueprints. I've no doubt now - we've obtained the first part of the mechanical man. But where should we look for the remaining parts?
-
Collector's House
Detective
We have everything to open the location. Open the door and find out what mysteries the City has been storing behind it for so many years.
The door to the Collector's House is open again, after many years. I can't wait to explore the home of this famous inventor. The clue that Jacob spoke about in the vision should be there somewhere. Maybe we'll even solve the mystery of the House with Red Windows or learn something about the city's origin itself. Hurry, let's begin.
-
Mysterious Room's Secret
Detective
An important clue is hidden in the Collector's House. It can help you find Jacob. I made a few important notes about this case in my diary. They'll come in handy for our investigation.
-
Mechanical Evidence
Detective
What kind of a clue can be in the Collector's House? The Collector is one of the City's most famous and mysterious figures. But there's a hitch - he disappeared many years ago, and the door to his house is firmly locked. Then how can he be connected to your friend's disappearance? Questions on top of more questions... I desperately need some new data about this mysterious Collector. We should look for his records in City Hall.
What an interesting note you've found in City Hall... it's all about the Collector. He is described as an eccentric man of wealth, a researcher and relentless collector of secrets and mysteries of the City of Shadows. The Collector invented and created dozens of amazing devices. The blueprints for one of his inventions, a mechanical man, was attached to the records. A robot created at the end of 19th century? Is it even possible?
-
Conductor's Device
Conductor
Now we have all three things that belonged to your friend. If we do this right, the device will point out the coordinates of the place where Jacob is now. Hurry, activate the machine.
The device is working... do your hear it humming? It shows coordinates... Jacob is in the centre of the City. But it's impossible to get there. The centre has been surrounded by a dark fog many years! Hey, what's wrong with you? Everything is hazy... Hey, wake up! What happend to you? It was a vision? Your friend was in the hazy mist, calling for help? And his last words were, 'Look for a clue in the Collector's House?' This is just what Jacob said in my vision
-
Mysterious Artifact
Juliette
While you were bravely fighting the gargoyle, a mysterious stranger passed me this note. "Look for a fang on the border between worlds. Signed L." Jacob was wearing a fang around his neck, you say? But I don't get what "border between worlds" means. Maybe it's the Station? Since all newcomers to the City of Shadows appear there. Explore the Station of Forgotten Dreams.
This is a Gargoyle fang - an artifact from the City of Shadows! Where did your friend get it from? If it was on him before you two even ended up in the City, then how did Jacob come across it? Like the photo, this fang is confirmation that your friend is connected to the City and the House with red Windows.
-
Thieving Gargoyle
Juliette
Are you looking for your lost friend's stuff? I saw sunglasses... Jacob dropped them when the dark shadows dragged him across the square. His glasses were there for just a second before a huge gargoyle swooped down from a roof and took them. Are you brave enough to take Jacob's sunglasses from gargoyle? She won't part with them easily. Look for Thor's Hammer, it's a weapon that every stone beast fears.
You found the second item quite fast and are close to your goal. Maybe someday you'll help me reach the center of the city and the House with Red Windows? Legend says the house grants wishes... I've tried to get there several times, but the fog wouldn't let me. It rolls in from the central districts, carrying new items, sometimes bodies! Not always human...

This Music Will Play For All Eternity...
Conductor
I know you're looking for your friend Jacob, and Martha told you to ask me. I've got an old machine that can show the location of a newcomer in the City. But to make it show Jacob's location, we need three things that belonged to him. I heard music playing in the City Hall, some well-known tune... It wasn't there before. Must be a music player there somewhere. Did your friend have a music player?
You've found the first of Jacob's belongings. Find two more - they are necessary for pinpointing his location with the device.

Rite
Martha
Just who is Jacob and how is he connected to the City of shadows' past? You've made me curious. I'll help you perform a special ritual with this picture. Spirits can see things beyond a human's perception, but I'll need ghostly essence for the ritual. Find some, please.
Now I can conduct the ritual. Jacob is alive, I feel it... It's dark around him, foggy, with strange shadows surrounding him... Your friend is very far away; as if in another time or dimension. I don't see anything else... Sorry! Talk to the Conductor, he lives at the Station of Forgotten Dreams and welcomes new arrivals. He has a device that helps find lost people.

Important Recordings
Detective
I think the spirits took the notebook to the City Hall. Hurry up and find it. Then I'll help you investigate your friend's disappearance.
Great!

Mysterious Photo
Juliette
I'm intrigued by the clue that City Hall has given you. It's a fragment of an old photo. But who is that in it, and how is it related to you and your friend Jacob? You have to find the second fragment of the photo to understand this clue's meaning and find your friend. If I were you, I'd return to City Hall and look for it there.
You've found the second photograph piece, you say? Grea, now we can see the whole photo. Look, it's your friend! Has he been to the City before? Haven't you just arrived at the City of Shadows? This is too confusing. Let's show the picture to the Detective, he's a good friend of mine and he can help us.
