Salvo from the Past
Rayden Storke
Family boxes usually contain jewelry, but I kept my childhood treasures in mine. For example, a small cannon - almost like a real one, though it's really just a souvenir pencil sharpener. Find it.
In the battles that I arranged for my soldiers, this cannon played a decisive role. Grandma used to say that tactics are more important than firepower though.
-
Box with a Light
Rayden Storke
The contents of this box remind me of a happy childhood, when trees were big, days were sunny, and even matches were colorful. Don't laugh, my grandmother brought me such matches from somewhere. They could even light a fire in the rain, but mostly I liked them for their colors. Find this bright box of matches.
When I grew up, I found out that such matches are called stormproof, and that their bright part is a special combustible mixture. But for me they're just a part of my childhood.
-
Spy Gadgets
Rayden Storke
The Security Service got these gadgets from the Collector. They allow us to remotely monitor Fabien, but their charge will only last a couple of hours. We can keep these devices going using special batteries. Help me collect them!
-
Letter with no Address
Mr. Black
I admit, you found a new clue in the search for the valuable cargo. But the monument of the mailman has not yet led us to our goal. What a pity it cannot be interrogated. Where did he carry this letter that once contained the plate? Find the answer.
This book Holder is made in memory of the earthquake. The City was divided into lower and upper parts, with the Rift - a deep gorge - between them. What does the mailman have to do with this?
-
Gift from the Companion
Sophia
Dearie, Fabien wasn't impressed with the idea of the suits proposed by the scavengers. They even decided to appease him by presenting him with a luxurious pincushion... Which he graciously accepted. By the way, Fabien once came to me to take measurements and forgot the cushion. It's here. Oh, and there's a keyhole in it! Do you have any tools? I'll try to open it.
Dearie, such tools make opening locks so easy. A few clever movements - and it's done. Will you look at that, in the golden pincushion there's a special section for thimbles. Look, a note in Avocado's handwriting is inside, I'll never forget it now!
-
Shiny Threads
Sophia
Dearie, I remembered! There was another element - I think it was definitely designed for those mysterious anti-fog suits. Among themselves, the scavengers called them crystal threads. Come on, help me find them!
You found the very threads I was talking about. Look closer, they really are made of shiny fibers that shimmer like crystals.
-
Crystal Holders
Sophia
Dearie, the scavengers paid me well to show the suits' elements to Fabien. I didn't expect it to be about some kind of anti-fog gear. By the way, the scavengers gave me some settings with multi-colored stones for them. Help me find them!
Thank you for helping me find the settings. Do you think that instead of these fake gemstones the scavengers planned to fix the stolen crystals in them?
-
Piece of Equipment
Rayden Storke
Have you ever seen scavengers? They look strange: some of their homemade appliances and gadgets hang all over their clothing. But the element of the costume that they tried to pass to Fabien through Sophia differs significantly. I'll show you!
Notice that this suit element has almost no seams. It's sealed hermetically and will easily protect you from the fog getting under your clothes.
-
Crude Work
Sophia
Dearie, the scavengers asked me to help them interest Fabien so that he would sew a suit for them - decide for yourself whether it's for the anti-fog suits or not. Help me find a pattern made of newspaper if it'll help you understand anything!
Oh, how could this ridiculous newspaper pattern interest Fabien?! Where could you possibly go in the clothes tailored from it! Perhaps only into the fog!
-
Handover from Scavengers
Mr. Black
If it turns out that the elements are related to the anti-fog suits, we'll have reason to drop in on Fabien Delamode. What if the scavengers somehow managed to persuade the countuirier to collaborate? Let's take a closer look at the suits' elements! First of all, we'll examine the box of fabric.
The fabric in this box is very dense and durable. I wouldn't make a parade dress or uniform with such material, but it's ideal for equipment.
-
Music Interrogation
Rayden Storke
Sophia's songs made her tell us a lot of interesting things about herself, but not a word about Avocado. We have one last record with a song that won a music award. Perhaps it will make the singer tlel us a more important secret. Damn it, the record player won't turn on! I'll try to fix it, lend me some tools.
Thanks for the tools - the player's spinning the record again. Sophia shows off her award for this iconic song. Do you hear that? As if hypnotized, she's saying that she overheard the conversation between Avocado and Miss, write it down!
-
Deepest Secret
Mr. Black
Learning Avocado's secret from Sophia is much more difficult than I thought. Maybe her album of love songs will make Sophia tell us what we need? Let's try to find one more record!
Thank you four finding this album of love songs for our interrogation! This time, Sophia told me something very intimate, but, again, there was nothing of value.
-
Dizzying Fame
Rayden Storke
What if Black's idea works and Sophia's songs will make her tell us about Avocado's secret? Have you listened to her legendary jazz copilation? No? Then we have to find this record!
Black has played Sophia's jazz compilation, and she admitted that she left the local jazz band, not wanting to share her fame with anyone. There's nothing about the crystals yet.
-
Confession of Solitude
Mr. Black
Sophia doesnt suspect that she's putting herself in even greater danger by keeping silent about Avocado's secret. The singer's fans should have her rare records. Let's get a copy.
We have Sophia's rare records, excellent. When these songs were playing, Haze admitted that, despite her popularity, she's very lonely. Not what we need, again.
-
First Performances
Rayden Storke
Black certainly won't stop until he finds out what secret Sophia has learned from Avocado. I'm looking for a record of Sophia's Christmas carols. Come on, together we'll find it faster!
Together, we instantly found this record of her Christmas carols! It didn't make Sophia admit the right thing, but she let slip that, as a child, she used to sing in the church choir.
-
Revelation about the Father
Mr. Black
If Sophia's "wonderful" gift isn't fiction, which I sincerely doubt, it'll help us. It's simple: during the interrogation, we play the songs that Sophia recorded in the City back to her, and the so-called gift will reveal the secret about Avocado and the crystals from the singer's subconscious. Help me fid the Childhood album!
On the album's cover it reads that it's dedicated to the singr's father. Listening to her own songs, Sophia admitted that her father was against her dream of becoming a singer. That wasn't what I wanted to hear.
-
Old Mailman
Rayden Storke
Are you lookin for an old mailman who knows about the valuable goods? What about the monument in the Post Office's building? Grandmother told me that there's a bronze figure of a mailman who once did a lot for the City. The monument is surely old, and of a mailman. Look at him, maybe you'll find a clue.
The plate wasn't far from the monument of the mailman... Judging by the holes, it used to be attached to the envelope in his hand. But it doesn't resemble an address.
-
Special Device
Kira Woodville
We've collected all the data we could find about the inventor The report about this scientist turned out to be huge. Everything is organized in alphabetical order, the pages are numbered; the only problem is there's nothing to hold them together. Could you lend me some tools?
So, the main thing now is to not mix everything up. The personal data from the suitcase comes first, then the pile of glass with formulas, files about the robot assistant, research with the bolometer and several pages about the vaccine. The tools securely fastened my report into a weighty volume.
-
Medicine for Machines
Kira Woodville
I finally got to the bottom of the inventor's suitcase and came across a broken container. There's a label saying, "Technomagic Vaccine". Help me find a whole container, I want to look at its contents.
What kind of medicine is this "Technomagic Vaccine"? What do you think? Maybe it's for the treatment of soulless machines? I'll write down my guess in the inventor's personal file.
-
Peculiar Cache
Mr. Black
We've collected all the keys to help us open Sophia's cache and discover what kind of gift is more precious to her than her own life or the citizens' safety. Strange, we did everything right, but the lock won't open. Bring your tools, let's try to turn it!
I get it - each key plays a piece of a melody if you turn them in the correct sequence. Do you have a good ear? Tell me which key to turn! It worked, the door has opened. Look, there's a tuba inside containing Sophia's diary!
-
Precious Talent
Rayden Storke
We're almost there: we only need to find a key that fits into those five small holes on the cache door. Let's use Sophia's treble clef comb, it has five prongs. Help me find it.
We found the golden treble clef comb. It seems to fit, thank you for your find! What secrets is Sophia hiding behind so many locks?
-
Invitation to the ball
Detective
If the Mayor still hears the voice inviting him to the ball, maybe we should forget about the eternal pain and join him? What was it he said? Every night as precisely midnight, a portal opens and the voice of the Mistress calls everyone who was invited to the centennial celebration! What if Mike Stone used one of the invitations and ended up at the ball?! What if the key to the mystery of Mike Stone lies in the past? Damn this city and its secrets! We just have to get to the ball! But where can we get an invitation?
There are so many of them! So... one of them is the Mayor's. But it's in bad shape, so let's leave that one. Then there's... Dr. Frankenstein. I didn't know he was already in the City by then. And then there's the Master... For some reason neither of them attended the Centennial Ball. We should think about why when we get a moment.
-
The Mayor's Spirit to the Rescue
Detective
City Hall is a place where you can always find an anser, if you ask the right question. Juliette mentioned the Centennial Ball. It was the largest event in the city, attended by the city's most famous citizens! That being the case, there's no way our Mayor missed the occasion. All we have to do now is find something that belonged to the Mayor and use it to summon him!
Great!
-
Magic Against Magic
Detective
I still don7t understand how Mike Stone got inside. Yeah, the City unlocked the Enchanted Ball for you, along with every other door, but the Manor is closed to the other citizens! A mosquito couldn't get inside without the Mistress's permission not without dying from some terrible curse. If the Manor is protected by magic, then maybe there's some other kind of stronger magic... Well, we have a puzzle on our hands. If we're dealing with different kinds of magic, we're going to need Martha's help.
Great Evil is sealed in the Manor! It has slept for a hundred years! I won't let you wake it! Go away!
-
The show must see light
Detective
Hmm.. From outside the Manor, I was sure the hall was brightly lit up, but the darkness here is impenetrable! I don't want to walk around in the dark and find myself on the end of Mike Stone's knife! We need light, and lots of it. But it's so dark here that an ordinary flashlight won't do. We need special candles!
This place gives me the creeps... although the hall is beautiful! The Mistress has a great imagination. The frozen figures look just like perfect copies of real people. Something tells me no one's been here for a long time; the whole place is covered in dust and there's no sign of Mike Stone! But I have a feeling he must be somewhere inside. This matter isn't as simple as it seemed...
-
Evidence Extracted
Detective
And so our investigation brings us to City Hall. It's so dark here! I can't see anything at all. It's as if someone is deliberately obstructing our investigation and trying to keep us from following the trail! How are we supposed to find anything in this darkness?!
A page with a note about the arrival in the city of a certain M.S... Who would need to tear this out of the Conductor's diary?
-
Glasses for a Boggart
Conductor
The initials M.S. you say? And a golden cuff-link? You should have pawned it. You could have bought us all a around of drinks with the money! You say you have a bottle of Chardonnay for me? Wonderful, suddenly I remember something about this M.S., I think I have something written down about him. Now if only I could remember where I put my glasses. I can barely see anything at all without them.
Ah... So my glasses were stolen by boggarts! There's no safe haven from those creatures! What did they want my glasses for? It's not as if they read the papers! Hmm... Anyway, thanks. So, M.S... It's strange, the initials are familiar but I don't have any record of them.
-
Engraved Ring
Mr. Black
I'm sure the singer's hiding a lot! Doesn't it seem strange to you that she has a cache, let alone one with such a tricky lock? I saw that she had an unusual drum ring, it should fit into the next section of the lock.
We have the drum ring. Look, there's an engraving on its inner side: "For my mysterious." It seems that Sophia uses it to turn the lock's relay. Look at that, it worked!
-
Tool-Shaped Keyhole
Rayden Storke
I think Sophia knows Avocado's motive for his threats, as well a thing or two about the crystals. Perhaps we'll find this information in her cache. The next keyhole is carved in the shape of a violin or cello. Let7s look for something like that!
Did you hear that click? The cello pendant you found dealt with the next lock. We're almost there.
-
Jewelry Lock Pick
Mr. Black
In the cache's tricky lock there are holes in the form of notes, the same as on Sophia's ruby bracelet. Let's find it, open the cache and discover what gift she values so much!
Well, that was quick, you have the bracelet! The notes on it will help us open the second part of the lock. We're one step closer to unraveling Sophia's secret.
-
Unusual Key
Mr. Black
How can we talk about some gift when the safety of the City is at stake?! It seems that we'll have to look into Sophia's cache. Don't ask how I know about it! She keeps her most precious things in there - I'm sure there's something inside that's connected with her precious gift. To open it, we'll need a few keys. Let's find them!
You found a sapphire pin? You think it'll open the lock? Hmm, you're right, this adornment is perfect for one of the cache's keyholes. It turns out it's also a key!
-
Threats' Author
Sophia
I don't think that the caged flowers hint at something bad, even though their appearance gives me goosebumps. Well, let's open the cage and read the card. I had some tools around here, would you bring them, dearie?
You didn't think I could open locks? It's easier than going onto the Cabaret's stage. Done! Now let's see what's written in the card and whether it's worth the commotion you've made. Oh my goodness, it's him!
-
The Last Card
Mr. Black
Sophia's fans spoiled her. She didn't even bother to open some gifts. The singer might not have noticed a potential threat. See, there's a card sticking out of this caged bouquet? Let's get it out!
My hand can't get through the bars of the cage containing flowers to get the giver's card. We'll have to break the lock or cut it off!
-
Hilarious Souvenir
Rayden Storke
Sophia's unapproachability drives some of her fans crazy. She told me that she was once scared by a clown that jumped out of a gift box at her. Let's look for the enclosed note where Sophia dropped the souvenir!
You found the jack-in-the-box. It seems that there's a note inside, let's open the box! This toy's giggle is no creepy! The note is unreadable, too.
-
In Your Element
Mr. Black
Sophia received many ambiguous gifts from the Cabaret's visitors. Recently, she was presented with a small fish in a bowl - that's clearly a hint that she needs to stay silent like a fish, right? Let's read the note!
I think the fish is uncomfortable in this bowl, it's way too small. The note says: "I wish you to take to the stage as a fish takes to water!" Hmm, so it's an innocent gift after all.
-
Rude Message
Sophia
My fans give me gifts addressing me personally in their cards, hoping that I'll read them and answer. But some leave messages on the gifts themselves - just like on that suitcase. I don't remember what's wirtten there, let's see!
"Get out of the city." Humph, how rude! It's written all over the suitcase. But the giver's handwriting doesn't resemble that of the author of the terrible note found in the fog.
-
Spines for the Idol
Mr. Black
Sophia is sure that she can identify the author of the threat by his handwriting - he7s already sent her gifts with greeting cards. Pfft, stars are used to accepting gifts from fans while remaining indifferent to them. Amongst the bouquets sent to Sophia, I noticed a poisonous cactus. Let's go and read the card that came with it!
Be careful, don't get pricked by the cactus's spines! Sophia said that the gift and the enclosed card weren'T a hidden threat. She knows the giver personally and assures us that he's just a sweet crank.
-
Straight into Darkness
Rayden Storke
I have a version of why the singer partially lost her memory after the attack. Please lend me your tools: I have to check my hunch.
The attacker's traces land from Sophia's dressing room to the Cabaret's back door. It was locked back when the passage was shrouded in the fog, but now it's open. And here's the used breathing filter - now everything's clear.
-
On the Right Track
Rayden Storke
I've known Mr. Black for a long time, he's only every believed in facts. I once was in Sophia's dressing room and noticed that the whole place was literally covered with powder. Let's go take a look: I'm sure the uninvited guest left some traces there.
Look, the small woman's footprints on the carpet belong to Sophia, and these man's boot marks were clearly left by the uninvited guest.
-
Pearls of the Investigation
Sophia
Ah, Blackie is just unbrearable, he still considers me a liar! I would've told him everything, but, alas, my head is foggy, and my neck hurts. Oh no, my necklace is gone! Please find it!
You found my necklace; it's a shame it's broken and missing some beads... You don't think that I deliberately tore such an expensive piece of jewelry, do you?
-
Spoiled Accessory
Rayden Storke
Mr. Black demands stronger evidence of the attack on Sophia. I'm a regular at the Cabaret and I know that she usually wears a feather headband with this dress, but not today. Let's find this accessory!
You don't miss a single clue - you found the headband! Look, some feathers have been torn out, and the jewelry's bent. I'm sure it happened during the attack.
-
Sense of Anxiety
Sophia
Dearie, help me prove my innocence to Black. When I heard a noise, I got scared and barricaded the door with a chair. But it didn't help! The door was knocked down, and the overturned chair is still lying in the middle of the hall. Take a look!
You've made sure now? This overturned chair's been lying here all night. I look at it and a feeling of anxiety arises within me. Ah, I still fear for my life!
-
Nighttime Housebreak
Rayden Storke
I believe Sophia. Something really happened in the Cabaret - I noticed signs of a struggle. Let's try to restore the series of events and discover whether the singer or the suspects in the crystals' case are connected to this. It's known that at night the Cabaret is locked from the inside. I noticed a torn-off doorknob in the hall, let's find and study it!
You found the torn-off doorknob, and this evidence confirms that there's been a forced entry into the Cabaret.
-
Investigation in the Cabaret
Sophia
I suspect you're running an investigation into the disappearance of the anti-fog crystals - I read about the theft in the newspaper. That's why you've come to me, to find out what the Queen of Rumors has heard about this. Maybe I'll remember something. Take notes...
-
Shooting Star
Rayden Storke
It seems that the concert's been canceled, this favors us. While Mr. Black's talking his way into meeting Sophia, let's go over there and take a table by the stage. Black ordered us not to do anything without his instructions.
Everyone dispersed, leaving their drinks unfinished, and someone even forgot their hat. Bright lights illuminate the stage, but, apparently, Sophia won't walk up to the microphone today. What happened here?
-
Following the Conductor
Detective
Who is hidden behind the mysterious initials M.S.? I'm sure the Conductor will know. He knows everyone in this damned City, but he won't be easy to find in the fog covering the Station of Forgotten Dreams! Can you make anything out through this haze?
Yes! The flashlight is in great condition. It will work even against the thick fog that shrouds the Station.
-
Crouching Tiger
Detective
If only we had the Emperor's Talisman! It's the eve of the Chinese New Year, so we could make a wish and find out what happened at the Palace. There are drawings of animals on the Emperor's scroll. Maybe they're connected to the Talisman? We should look for broken pieces with the same images in the hall. Did you come across something with, say, the image of a White Tiger?
-
Stone Army
Detective
The Palace of the Chinese Emperor got dragged into the City on the eve of the Chinese New Year. The inhabitants of the palace were fighting an army of demons until an unknow force turned everyone into stone. What happened at the palace? Is it dangerous for the townspeople? I left you a festive red bookmark in the Investigation Book!
-
Charger for the Robot
Kira Woodville
The inventor worked on the creation of something unimaginable, and in his workings he constantly used a Bolometer. In his papers, this device is repeatedly mentioned. But what does it look like? I have to include this into my report!
Is this a Bolometer? Are you sure? I wouldn't have thought so. Just imagine: this thing can pick up energy rays from space... I don't know exactly how it works though.
-
Enchanted Ball
Detective
It appears that a trespasser has entered the Manor. We have to find him. I noted some important facts in the Diary of Investigations, so you should read it.
-
Vampire's Secrets
Cardsharp
Ny dear friend! It seems that we have the chance to find one of Dracula's caches. I noticed a sparkle of pure gold in the roots of one of the trees. I wouldn't confuse it with anything else. Use your talent and find the vampire's treasure.
-
Halloween Bells
Martha
The Samhain Clock was destroyed using magic, so simply gathering all the parts together isn't enough. Bring a few City artifacts and I'll be able to restore it. Then set the clock's hands to 12:00 - the start of Halloween. Only in this manner will the Clock send a signal, and we will summon Jack to our world.
As soon as we set the magical clock's time to Halloween, the mechanism came to life. You hear that? Such melodic ringing of bells! It amplifies everything... The chiming of the Samhain Clock is heard not only in the City of Shadows, but also in the underworld. It's echoed by the sound of the hooves of Jack's ghostly horse. Halloween is here!
-
Day Trip
Detective
To restore the Samhain Clock, we need to get the final part - the piece that shows today's time. Find it, and we can finally summon the Halloween Spirit. Hurry, we have just enough time!
Yes, this is what we need! It looks like an ordinary Clock Dial. The hour and minute hands indicate the time of day. On the right day, when the position of the hands coincides with the time of the call to the Halloween spirit, the Clock sends a signal to Jack.
-
Sharp-Toothed God of Life
Inspector
In Africa, the crocodile is considered a god of th eNile - of water and life. Every brave individual needs such an amulet, and specially our warrior Fraulein Huntress. Go get it.
The sobek Crocodile you acquired has no analogues in the City. I hope it will serve as a good protective amulet for the Huntresss.
-
Monday Begins Today
Juliette
We must find the silver Earth Hand. I will gladly help you. After Dracula's bite, I prefer to keep in contact with objects that guard against vampires. Silver, aspen, salt... Find the Earth Hand to restore the Shamhain Clock.
The silver Earth Hand must be set on the Week Star according to the day that corresponds to Halloween. This year it's Monday.
-
Seven Shining Rays
Isabelle
The seven-pointed Week Star is another piece of the Samhain Clock, which summons the Halloween Spirit. It's also called the Magicians' Star or Alchemists' Star. Find the Week Star and I'll show you how it works.
See, each of the star's rays corresponds to a day of the week and the planet that it protects. This piece, like the minute hand on normal clocks, tells the time indicated on the Year Wheel.
-
Samhain's Time
Cardsharp
Sir, to restore the Samhain Clock we need to find the Sun Hand. I'm certain it will be made of gold. Only this precious metal fully reflects the grandeur of the celestial body. Find it.
A-ha! The Sun Hand you found is truly golden. Were there extra little rays nearby? No? Too bad... Oh well, just set the Sun Hand to the time corresponding to Halloween on the Year Wheel.
-
Important Mechanism
Martha
We need to do whatever it takes to restore the Samhain Clock! Its chime will summon the Halloween Spirit from the underworld. We know that Dracula took it aprt and hid the parts near the fountain. I'm confident that your abilities will allow you to collect htem. Find the framework of the clock. Judging by the imporessions on the boyd, it's a Year Wheel.
The Year Wheel indicates the state of the sun during the year. It's marked with dots for solstices and equinoxes. Perhaps I'll tell you about the mystical properties of these days sometime.
-
Drive Away the Darkness
Martha
Use the Vajra's piercing stone after weakening Dracula with strikes with the Chakra. Then it's time for the Solar Bomb. The only chance for a vampire to escape it is to turn into fog. We'll set a trap for Dracula. We need to collect the fog in a special horn and seal it tight. The City's magic will help strengthen the seal.
You were victorious! Dracula is trapped and sealed in the Magic Horn. Let's send the bloody count back to the wrold of the dead where he belongs! Throw it in the Fountain of Souls. Praise the Gods! As soon as the black water swallowed the horn, the Detective was freed and in his own body again.
-
Omnipresent Glow
Huntress
It's extremely difficult to defeat a vampire, particularly Dracula. These beings possess supernatural powers. But I know the weapon that a vampire cannot escape. A Solar Bomb! Find it and you will behold all of its power.
The daylight emitted by this Solar Bomb is absolutely safe for humans, but fatal to vampires. Dracula will not escape it!
-
Tricky Knots
Cardsharp
Dracula is very dangerous. He has the speed of lightning, the force of a hurricane, and the hardness of a rock. Ordinary shields or armour will not protect you. You need to get the Enchanted Shield with the magical script.
-
Lightning Strike
Isabelle
Dracula is an experienced and stron fighter. Ordinary swords or spears won't affect him. I know of a more powerful weapon. Bring the Double Vajra, and I'll teach you how to use it.
Great, you were able to find the Double Vajra! This is the Warriors of Light's weapon in the fight against demons. It has the combined properties of a sword, club and spears. The Vajra gives you strength and toughness of spirit. You will be opposed by the vampire's might! Go for it!
-
Roll with the Punches!
Cardsharp
During the duel, you can't forget about defence. Especially in a duel with a dangerous opponent like Dracula. Bring the Crusader's Gloves. The corsses depicted on them will protect you agains the vampire's strikes.
Gloves with crosses on are a reliable and proven instrument in the fight agains vampires. I'm glad that you were able to find them. You'll now be able to take on Dracula's strike!
-
Soaring Blade
Huntress
A duel with Dracula is a serious test and the stakes are very high. The loser loses everything. Can you imagine a world where Dracula is the Halloween Spirit, and all of us are his servants? When Dracula proposed a duel, he had devised some kind of trick. We can't use the traditional silver bullets, holy water and a wooden stake. Have you figured out why? By killing Dracula, we kill the Detective. So we must think of something completely different to defeat Dracula. You've heard about the Chakra, right? Then find it. It's a very effective weapon.
Look, the Chakra is made in the form of a yin-yang. It will improve your chances in the fight. We know that it keeps the balance of good and evil forces. Plus, the Chakra has a very sharp blade.
-
Beauty Will Save Juliette
Isabelle
The smell of garlic repels vampires, but this clearly doesn't offend Juliette. We need something sophisticated... I'll make a beautiful bouquet and hide garlic in it. And you can bring some City artifacts. They'll help us convince Juliette to try on all the collected adornments to finally free her from Dracula.
Juliette wore the amber earrings, the silver ring, crucifix belt and the Aspen Comb. She sprayed the verbena perfume and breathed in the aroma of the garlic bouquet. Praise all that's holy! Look, Juliette is transforming in front of our eyes. Th evampire essence has finally left her. we now have the Halloween Steward's Pendant! This is the first, albeit a small, victory that disrupts Dracula's plans to take Jack's place.
-
Siver Strike
Huntress
Vampires can't stand silver at all. This metal will help us destroy the vampire spirit within Juliette. Bring the silver Claw Ring and get a move on, you need to hurry.
Great! Juliette's vampire essence will surely love the aggressive shape of this Claw Ring. Let's hope she doesn't immediately notice the silver metal.
-
Ready-Made
Detective
I can hear the rustle of autumn leaves and smell pumpkin pies! It's as if a generous hostess has only just brought them to the square to feed everyone. Hurry and open the Fair, buddy! It's stood closed and hidden behind the City's fog for too long.
What a lovely place! I know a certain young lady who'll surely like it. It seems to me that even the weather in this place is better than in the rest of the City. There is a sense of calm and peacefulness.
-
Protective Aroma
Valerie
I remembered that vampires can't stand verbena, but Juliette loves perfume. Bring Perfume with Verbena. Even if she smells it just once, her transformation into a vampire will be stopped.
Perfume with Verbena has such a dlicate and fresh aroma... Mmm... And it's good that it's red. It will attract Juliette's vampire essence, and she won't immediately notice the scent of verbena.
-
Military Wisdom
Monk
A warrior's strength is not in weapons, but in the wise use of them. The Lo Shu Turtle will augment the Huntress's talents with the power of knowledge. Go get it so we can create the amulet.
The Lo Shu Turtle represents wisdom, and wisdom is an essential part of everything.
-
Rescue and Keep
Conductor
The Bride of Dracula's spirit is changing Juliette. We need to stop the transformation as soon as possible so the poor girl doesn't turn into a vampire for good! Look for something adorned with crosses. Vampires fear them like fire.
What a beautiful belt! I think Juliette will like it. And the crucifix camouflaged in its pattern will help save her from Dracula's influence.
-
Wooden Guardian
Isabelle
What else don't vampires like? I know! Bring the Aspen Comb. This wood will help weaken Dracula's influence and Juliette will once again be herself!
What a beautiful Aspen Comb. I wouldn't refuse such an adornment. But Juliette needs it more. I hope the aspen helps her overcome the vampire's essence.

Drops of Sun
Martha
Juliette is going to Dracula as if she's hypnotised. If he gets Juliette and the Steward's Pendant, then he'll hold his masquerade ball and bathe the City of Shadows in blood! Hurry, we need to free Juliette from the grip of the Bride of Dracula's spirit! Let's put together some adornments for her with charms that repel vampires. Look for Earrings with Amber, a sunny stone that absorbs daylight.
You found the Earrings with Amber. Juliette will certainly want to try on such unique jewellery, and the sunny stone will protect her from Dracula's influence.

A Trap Beyond
Martha
I think we've collected enough evidence to say for certain that we're dealing with Count Dracula himself. Not a trace of the spirit of the Detective remains in our logical and reliable friend's body. But where is the Detective's spirit now? Do you remember the Little Demon's story? He saw how the Detective, sitting by the Fountain of Souls, scooped up the forbidden water and fell down motionless, and when he got up, he looked like Dracula. The Foutain of Souls is the key to solving what happened to the Detective. You see how the gargoyle on the Fountain is watching us. It saw everything that happened. Bring me some City artifacts and I'll try to talk to it.
"Water!" - is all the Fountain Gargoyle said. Well, of course, look! The Detective's reflection is in the Fountain of Souls! The fountain's water surface divides the world of the living and the world of the dead, like a mirror. Having looked into the fountain, the Detecitve fell under Dracula's spell. After gaining control of the Detective's mind, Dracula moved into his body and the Detective's true spirit is now locked in the underworld. So Dracula has found a way to enter the world of the living as part of his grand plan.

Flip Side of the Masquerade
Juliette
As the Detective said, we need to finish the Halloween decorations and hang these lanterns. Somewhere around here you can find a Spider Doll. Catch it and let it hang the lanterns and decorations on the trees around the fountain.
What did the Spider Doll tell you? She saw the Dracula-Detective cut his hand and collect blood in the glasses we drank from? That means we drank his blood?.. That's terrible! What about him? You're saying that under the guise of Dracula it's not the Detective, but the real Count Dracula? But what happened to the Detective?

Deadly rendezvous
Isabelle
I noticed a Ghost Girl nearby, but she's very afraid and is hiding. Try to gently lure her out. I'm sure I'll be able to talk to her about how the Detective showed up at Jack's Castle in the guise of Dracula.
Here's what I managed to find out: after visiting Jack's Castle, the Dracula-Detective brought Juliette here. He tended to her, they drank something out of glasses. Then the Detective kissed Juliette, and she, in the words of the Ghost Girl, became white as chalk and fell unconscious, as if she'd died!

Don't Stand in the Way
Alex
Jack's realm is home to many strange creatures, such as the Golden Spirit. I noticed it by a tomb, but it was faint, like smoke, and it hid its face under a veil. Go to the Golden Spirit and ask it what it knows about the actions of the Detective dressed as Dracula.
The Golden Spirit says the Detective, dressed as Dracula, returned from Jack's Castle with some kind of parcel in his hands. And that was the last thing the Golden Spirit saw. The Detective blinded him, but no human can do such a thing! Is it possible that a completely different entity is now in the Detective's body?

Song of Gratitude
Hanako
Through the spring twilight, I hear Kumiko-san's voice. But I can't make out a single word. Please help me discover what this young child is saying to me. Bring me some artifacts, they will help me concentrate.
I turn my gaze to the world where Uta-san and Kumiko-san live peacefully and follow the sound of the girl7s voice. I hear her... singing. In a garden, under the cherry blossoms, Kumiko-san is singing a song about how she regained her life in the spring twilight...

Capturing of Essence
Valerie
you asked the spirits dwelling in the realm of the Halloween Spirit, right? I saw a little demon here. He looked entirely friendly. Maybe this is another withness to the events of how the Detective found himself in the guise of Dracula? Find it.
The Little Demon saw how the Detective, sitting by the Fountain of Souls, scooped up the forbidden water and fell down motionless. Then, when the sun went down, he stood up and went to Jack's Castle. The strangest thing is that the stone guardian let him pass. And also, when the Detective woke up, he already looked like Dracula.

Power of the Sorceress
Detective
It won't be wasy to get the portrait of the Mistress of the Manor... We will need all the things that are in any way connected to her past. Using the magic of the City we can unite their auras. No one but you could handle this task!
We did it! The portrait of the Mistress of the Manor is in our hands! Now you will always have good luck! Will you mind if I borrow the portrait once in a while?

Mysterious Family Coats of Arms
Detective
So, all the men behind the mirror were rich and distinguished. In addition, they all died shortly after they were married. Interesting, don't you think? I noticed a jewellery box that had the same coat of arms as the ghosts. But the box is closed, and it doesn't have a keyhole. It seems to be closed with a powerful magic spell. The Mistress is hiding a secret inside. Look for City artifacts to open the box, I'm sure you'll find the missing information needed to shed some light on the connection between the Mistress and the missing noblemen.
Look, there's a marriage certificate inside the box. Unbelievable! Every one of these rich aristocrats was married to the Mistress! There's even a newspaper clipping here, look what it says.

Treasures of Ancient China
Martha
Let's create a fan that will bring us good luck. In this experiment I'll use a fan from the Dragon7s Temple that's more sensitive to magic. I'll then write the text of the spell on the fan, whilst you bring me a few City artifacts to turn the energy towards a successful outcome.

Luxury and Dignity
Cardsharp
Every coat of arms we find opens up the past of one of the ghosts from the mirror-world. Unfortunately, we still don't know what the Mistress of the Manor has got to do with any of this. Maybe we'll have more luck with the last coat of arms? Search for something yellow and light blue.
Ooo! That's a Diamond Brooch with a coat of arms! It belonged to the staggeringly wealthy Gertzog Bollerset And why doesn't it surprise me that he disappeared quickly after his wedding? Fine, fine, take your brooch!

Spring's Home
Isabelle
After the gray streets of the City, I want to stay among these bloosoming flowerbeds that line the Mansion's walls. For some reason spring only came to this Mansion, from which a heartfelt invitation with the promise of Easter treats was sent. Is it a spring miracle or a sophisticated trap? Let's go inside and find out.
The Mansion is even more beautiful inside! Huge windows, staircases and columns made of carved white marble, ornate furniture... I don't feel any threat. And in the most prominent place is - wow! The sapling of the Tree of Life.
-
Invitation to the Feast
Inspector
Let's use the invitation to examine the blossoming interior of the Mansion and find out why spring went there, but ignored the City. This house is a true art nouveau architectural masterpiece! A beautiful stained glass door leads inside. What are we waiting for? Let's open it!
The smell of freshly baked goods comes through the open door of the Mansion - the vases on the porch please the eye with fresh greenery and beautiful spring flowers. It feels more and more like this Mansion lives by different laws than those of the City of Shadows!

Help from Carrots
Martha
Now it's time for the most popular folk remedy - Carrots. Its properties are known to imporove the eyesight of practically everything. Bring some Carrots and squeeze out the juice.
Wow, so many Carrots! That's enough for the Conductor and for me. In fact I drink freshly squeezed carrot juice every day and I highly recommend it.
-
Celery Juice
Martha
Magical glasses for the Conductor? In this case, it's best to treat him with fold remedies. Magic, like medicine, is not the only beneficial thing. I have an old recipe for improving vision. Let's use it. Bring some Celery root and squeeze the juice from it.
You brought fresh Celery root. That's good. Now squeeze the juice from it. This job requires the use of force, as I don't want to use magic.

A Nest on the Head
Valerie
I hear you're looking for a hat belonging to the mysterious guest of the Hotel. The Detective said that it's very unusual. I saw a hat with a bird on it on the terrace! At first, I thought it was a live bird, but then I realised that it was just a stuffed animal. Bring me the hat.
Wow! Rich ladies will use anything to decorate their hats: feathers, bows and even artificial birds. However, according to the Detective, this hat with a stuffed bird is not like the one we're looking for.

The Mystery of the Past
Conductor
We've found five things that belong to the driver of the Sanetti. That should be enough to start my device and discover the mysterious train's past. Bring some City's artifacts; you'll need them as fuel.
Look, the machine has transformed the driver's things into a parcel. And here is the covering letter:
-
Who's the newcomer?
Conductor
Werewolves should have the keys to the chest. It's time to roll up our sleeves and get to work.
Now we can open the chest. Some useless things, money... Look, a map! Whoever gave it to the werewolves marked a house by the river with a cross. I'm sure they hid the girl there!
-
Take refreshment
Conductor
Here are my thoughts: Psy-werewolf attacked Valerie and she, according to the dictaphone, passed out due to their mental attack. Judging by the tuft of fur, common werewolves were also at the place she disappeared. that means the werewolves have united. That's it. I need refreshment but my flask is empty! I have a bottle of good rum stashed at the Station. Find it and I'll figure out how to find Valerie. You have my word!
Put the rum in the flask and give it a try. Ooh, not bad at all. It's clear to me now that the chest is vital. We need to find the keys quickly and learn its secret!

Quench Thirst
Isabelle
Obviously, the driver gets hot while driving the steam engine. Therefore, it's useful to have a flask of water on hand. I saw something similar near the train. Bring it please.
The driver's hard work does not allow him to be away from the steam engine's cabin. A flask of water helps to quickly quench one's thirst on the job.

Withnesses to Events
Huntress
Hmm, the Detective is getting ready to throw a vampire masquerade ball in a Dracula costume?! Either our old pal the Detective wants to pull a practical joke on us or Count Dracula has found a way to return to the world of the living. And not just return, but sink his fangs into Halloween and all the citizens of the City! We have to find out who we're actually dealing with. Look, there are lots of little spirits near Jack's Castle. They could have seen what happened here. Let's ask them. Look, here's Skull Gatekeeper. Begin with him.
This Skull Gatekeeper is an odd creation. It's good that you managed to find a common language with him. He says that several days ago he saw the Detective come here with a protective amulet and a black crow on his shoulder. It seems that the Detective also received the "From Jack" invitation letter and came to the Castle a few days before us.

Inspection
Conductor
No driver can do without an Oiler. After all, the steam engine mechanisms need constant lubrication. Bring me the driver's Oiler, I saw it near the engine.
Just what I thought, the driver's Oiler was found near the steam engine. See how bit it is? And it's all because the steam engines often need to be lubricated.

Family Relics
Cardsharp
I want to help look for these family valuables too. What if something really amazing crops up? Lets look for something with a green coat of arms and the image of deer. One of the ghosts in the mirror had those exacts marks on him.
What's that? Oh, it's a little knickknack - a Family Snuffbox belonging to Marquis de Breze. There isn't much known about him: he was rich, distinguished, and disappeared six months after his wedding.
-
Golden Precision
Detective
We must find out which souls in particular can't find peace because of the Mistress of the Manor. We can find a clue in the ghosts' pasts. Find a men's accessory with a yellow coat of arms framed in crimson oak leaves.
You found the Gold Pocket Watch with a coat of arms from Count Arlon so fast! The archives in City Hall say that the count was unique and close with the royal German court. He disappeared mysteriously while travelling with his young wife.
-
The Stamp of Success
Detective
Who are these rich gentlemen in the mirror, and why are they holding the Mistress hostage? Look for a men's accessory with a red and blue coat of arms in the bedroom.
Excellent, this is the Ring with a Coat of Arms from Viscount von Brugent. According to the archives, he was a man of considerable means and disappeared without a trace a couple months after he was married.

Inhuman Mechanism
Kira Woodville
What are these traces on my report on the inventor's personal file? The oily prints are so strange... Do you hear gears clicking? It seems to come from the next room. Maybe this is some kind of invention? Let's go and see.
You found the Mechanical Assistant created by the inventor! The case mentions that this robot was designed to help people with their daily concerns.

Sounds in the Night
Juliette
Une seance sortie, monsieur. This might seem crazy, but I definitely heard the clatter of wheels and the bang of the entrance doors coming from the Manor... and at midnight, terrible drawn-out screams! I swear I'm telling you the truth, please believe me!
This is impossible! A golden cuff-link a the Manor House Gate! I doubt something as valuable as that would have gone unnoticed! Just yesterday I tidied everything up here. I'm sure it wasn't here then and nobody's been here since yesterday evening!

Christmas Magic
Conductor
A steam engine in the winter is a good thing: it runs and heats at the same time. So, it's decided! Let's put a steam engine in Santa's Workshop to speed up the gift conveyor belt. Though I assembled it myself, it requires a little magic from you to work properly. Find what we need in the City.
Wonderful! Look at how fast the gift conveyor belt runs now! The steam engine is huffing and puffing, toiling and warming Santa's Workshop. After her snowy tricks, her iciness cannot stop it from warming up. Icy beauties are gorgeous, but you won't last long near them.

Precise Calibrations
Martha
We're just a step away from fixing the beacon and getting Santa back to the City of Shadows. Set all five runes into the magical globe. It'll take a lot of magical energy to calibrate the globe. Bring me a few artifacts from the City; they should help. As soon as everything is ready we can get started.
Wonderful! All the runes are in place. The globe has stopped flashing chaotically, and, from what I can tell, seems to be working properly. I can't believe we managed to calibrate Santa's Beacon! Look! The light of the star on top of the Christmas tree is falling onto the globe. The Christmas Fire is lighting the runes, and a bright ray of light is streaking toward the heavens. It worked! A guiding star is showing Santa the way back. I think I hear the sound of reindeer hooves and jingling bells... Santa is coming back!
