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!
-
A Code Phrase
Kira Woodville
I checked the mural, but there’s no door behind it. Still, it looks like an optical illusion - the City in it seems real, with all its streets visible. And this intersection... Look! It’s glowing, isn’t it?
Incredible! This seems to be the Crossroads of Realities mentioned in the note! There might be a hidden exit here, but how do we open it? Maybe the members of the Order of the Five knew the answer - but we don’t.
-
A Silent Clue
Rayden Storke
I hope the Architect receives the signal from our beacon. But where is the Crossroads of Realities? And when did all these statues turn in the same direction? Let’s see what they’re looking at.
You guessed it right - the eyes of the plaster statue are a marker! The Architect received our signal and sent us a sign in return: all the statues’ eyes are fixed on the wall mural. Is that where the Crossroads are?
-
A Dimentional Landmark
Thomas
We need to send the Architect a signal that can pass through the corridors and guide her to us. Let’s use the chronocrystal we found in the Mansion! Could you help me set up the beacon for her?
Thank you! Our beacon for the Architect is ready! The chronocrystal’s energy will pass through spatial obstacles and send her the signal. Now, we can only hope for the best!
-
The Clock Is Ticking
Thomas
Oh no, time flows differently in the house and the spatial corridors. The Architect might not receive our signal in time! There must be a time synchronizer here somewhere - help me find it!
Thank you for finding the time synchronizer. I’ll calculate the moment when the spatial corridors converge - the Crossroads the Architect is heading toward. She’ll be there soon!
-
The Moment of Meeting
Thomas
According to the note, the Architect is moving toward some kind of Crossroads of Realities. Her message might make more sense if we examine the spatial travel model. Could you bring it to me?
This spatial travel model is based on data from the spark tracker - it maps the corridors of realities. I’ll highlight the ones leading to the Mansion since the Crossroads must be somewhere around here.
-
The Labyrinths of Time
Thomas
Thanks to the sparks, we can understand the nature of an old temporal anomaly and save the Architect. But first, I need to record their strange fluctuations. Could you charge my spark tracker with your artifacts?
Thank you! Your artifacts have fully charged my spark tracker! I’ve recorded a clear trajectory of the lights in the sky - they move in cycles, which means somebody or something intentionally caused these distortions.
-
A Dance of Lights
Thomas
The distortion in the Mansion is coming from the sparks - they’re the ones keeping the Architect trapped. I’ll help her now, but first, I need to determine the layout of the spatial corridors. I’ll need the locuscope.
Thank you for finding the dimensional locuscope! Now it’s clear - the crimson sparks are the aftereffect of my time travel. But they’ve also revealed invisible distortions that were already here before.
-
Sincere Remorse
Thomas
Alright, I’ve figured out how to check the time streams and locate where the distortion occurred. This could help us save the Architect! I’m sure there must be an aeonic spiral here. Can you find it?
Thank you! With the help of the aeonic spiral, I’ve determined that the distortion is coming from the sparks, and they always accompany time travel. What have I done? I must fix this as soon as possible!
-
A Signal from Outside
Thomas
Maybe it wasn’t the machine but time travel itself that distorted the dimensions around the Architect. I quickly built a spatial detector to confirm this theory. Could you help me activate it?
Thank you! The spatial detector shows that multiple distortions permeate the house, but most of the energy comes from outside. It could be a trace left by my time travel...
-
Time Loops
Thomas
I’ll check the time machine to see if it caused the distortion that trapped the Architect. The temporal resonator can detect traces of any temporal interference. Can you find it?
Thank you for finding the temporal resonator. I’ll tune it to the right frequency...\n Got it! The resonator has picked up temporal waves in the room, but they’re not coming from the time machine!
-
An Everlasting Moment
Thomas
If my journey shifted the temporal and spatial dimensions, they must’ve become distorted within the house as well. There are so many clocks in here! Help me compare them all with my ultra-precise clock.
You can see for yourself - none of these clocks match mine. Their hands have been exposed to the chronocrystal and cannot lie. The Mansion has indeed been affected by a time shift.
-
Spatial X-Ray
Thomas
In just a bit, we’ll be able to scan parallel spaces to check if the Architect is really there. Great! The scanner is ready - we just need to charge it. May I borrow some artifacts?
Thanks for charging the scanner! Your artifacts are impressive! Hmm... The device indicates that a time shift has tangled the dimensions around the Mansion, and the Architect is wandering between them.
-
Great Teamwork
Thomas
How lucky am I to have found hypersensitive matter here! That’s just what we need to find the Architect, and it’s exactly where I would have put it. Could you help me carefully retrieve it?
Thank you for helping me retrieve the hypersensitive matter. I need it to create the dimension indicators that will help the device interpret spatial readings. Explaining it would take too long - just wait and see for yourself!
-
A Hologram Image
Thomas
We need to create a screen of sorts to display and examine the space around the house for any signs of the Architect. I think I saw a laser hologram around here somewhere. Could you look for it?
That’s the exact laser hologram I spotted earlier. Is it a display of the Mansion? That’s one big house! I haven’t been outside yet. Will you give me a tour of the City once we find the Architect?
-
A Forgotten Future
Thomas
We need to install high-precision sensors for the device to locate the Architect without error. I know where to find them - they’re on that shelf over there. Could you bring them to me?
See? The high-precision sensors were exactly where I expected them to be. These are outstanding specimens! We need them to calibrate our device for searching through parallel dimensions.
-
A Cornucopia of Finds
Thomas
To find the Architect, we need to build a multi-dimensional search device. I’m sure I’ve seen a suitable coil motor around here somewhere - help me find it.
You found the coil motor! I knew this house had everything we needed. Coils are vital as they produce the power necessary for the device.
-
Catching the Wave
Thomas
We would’ve seen the Architect by now if she were in the house. Perhaps she’s not exactly here? Let’s build a device to confirm it. We’ll start with an ether locator.
Thank you for helping me build the ether locator! It will detect temporal and spatial waves and transmit them to our future device for locating the Architect.
-
A Spark of Time
Thomas
The only thing I took from the Mansion was a chronocrystal similar to the one in my time machine, but bigger. I need it to find the Architect, but I have to recharge it first. May I borrow some of your artifacts?
I didn’t expect you to have such powerful artifacts! They charged the chronocrystal to the brim! Did you see the spark it generated? It was like lightning, and the thunder is still ringing in my ears!

An Inventor’s Pride
Thomas
I’m not a thief. I’m an inventor - driven by a thirst for discovery! The highlight of this journey is getting to see my time machine in action. Go ahead and take a closer look at it.
What do you think of my time machine? Of course, there’s still room for improvement, but it’s the best invention I’ve made so far. The important thing is that it works! I’ve arrived exactly at the Architect’s coordinates.

A Mystery from the Future
Thomas
I built a time machine and arrived at the Architect’s coordinates to rescue her. The Architect had attached time coordinates to her note. Don’t believe me? Look, they’re right here, written in a unique code.
The code seemed familiar to me for some reason, so I set off despite having no idea where I was going. I thought I’d test my time machine - and, of course, help the Architect.

More than a Hobby
Thomas
I was surprised when I received the note addressed to the Collector. I wondered: how did this Architect know about my hobby? I’m a mechanical engineer, but I do indeed enjoy collecting. Here, take a look for yourself.
This is part of my magnifying glass collection - a unique piece. I also collect various crystals. If I were to choose a pseudonym, I couldn’t pick a better one than "The Collector"!

A Snack from the Past
Rayden Storke
I think this "time traveler" is just trying to gain our trust, and he’s not as simple as he looks. There’s a reason why we found Kira’s pistol. I’ll distract Thomas while you take a peek into his bag.
You found fresh bread in the bag? That’s not what I expected to see at all. The loaf is wrapped in paper with a London bakery’s logo and a baking date... Looks like Thomas really did come from the past.

A Mechanical Friend
Thomas
I’m an inventor and make all kinds of mechanical gadgets. I started out with simple ones, like this mechanical toy turtle, for instance. Take a look.
I made this mechanical toy as a child, and when I grew up, I rebuilt it into a universal tool. You won’t find another one like it anywhere in London!

The Light of Hope
Rayden Storke
What luck - I found a model of the Mansion! But it’s... alive! The rooms are shifting. I’ve marked where we found Kira’s things. Hurry, lend me some artifacts - I’ll see if I can trace her path.
It’s so much easier to trace Kira’s path on the living model of the Mansion using your artifacts. Whoa! They just lit up one of the rooms so brightly! The room is heading toward us - Kira must be in there!

A Dangerous Find
Rayden Storke
Look, there’s Kira’s pistol! Or maybe it’s just wishful thinking, and it only looks like hers. Let’s check - if this really is Kira’s pistol, it should have an engraving.
Look! The letter "K" is engraved on the pistol - we’re on the right track. This is definitely Kira’s pistol! ... The gun’s muzzle smells of gunpowder smoke! Something must’ve gone wrong here...

An Unusual Accessory
Rayden Storke
Kira utilized various devices to see the exact corridor among the sparks that could lead her out of the City. She even had special glasses. They may be here, too. Let’s look for them.
You’ve found Kira’s spatial glasses! These are definitely hers - I made the lenses myself, using the Lamplighters’ technique. They’re basically an improved version of the ones in the diffractor. What did Kira see through them?
-
A Mysterious Object
Rayden Storke
There are many strange items in the Mansion, but among them, I noticed something familiar. If I’m not mistaken, it’s the portable diffractor that Kira used. We’d better take a closer look.
Well, yes, this is definitely Kira’s portable diffractor! The device was recently used - the lenses are in working position, and the lens is pointing at... the wall? Hmm, I doubt Kira left the City.
-
A Guiding Compass
Rayden Storke
Kira was certain she could determine the epicenter of the sparks with the wayfinding device used by the Security Service. If we follow Kira’s trail, we will likely find that device.
You’ve found the wayfinding device! It’s used to locate hidden sources of paranormal energy. Mr. Black was quite proud to confiscate it from the scavengers. Kira was definitely here!
-
Sky Lights
Rayden Storke
We’re looking for traces of Kira, so if you see anything related to her or the sparks, let me know. Like those images of the sparks, for instance - Kira had similar ones. Let’s take a closer look.
I remember Kira calling these drawings "spectral maps." They depict fiery sparks, just like the ones in the sky above the Mansion. Could Kira have drawn them?
-
A Search Operation
Rayden Storke
We’ve started our search for Kira in the Mansion of Illusions. We might even find a clue about the Architect - there’s been no sign of her for a while. I’ll write everything down in the Diary to make sure we don’t miss any important details.

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.

An Abode of Strange Things
Rayden Storke
The sparks have gathered over the Architect’s Mansion... The thing is, this house isn’t just locked - no one could even find the... Is that the door? And it’s open?! Kira might be in there. Let’s hurry inside!
By the foggy sky! All we did was step inside, and the door has already turned back into a solid wall! This place is bizarre - one could easily get lost in here. I just hope that’s the worst thing that could’ve happened to Kira.
-
Following the Lights
Rayden Storke
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!

The Omens
Martha
Your fate is in your hands. Now the time has come to find out where your friend is. Let’s turn to the all-seeing spirits by looking into the omen chalice.
I’m sorry, I can’t direct my gaze any further through the fog. But here’s my divination for you: although Jacob fell into the Shadow’s hands, you can still save him.

What Will Happen to Hanami?
Adeline Svensson
Of course, I’m here! My readers deserve to know everything first, especially if hanami is at risk! Let’s look around - I’ll take some photos for the piece.
It wasn’t easy finding the right path out here. The garden looks neat and tidy - nothing suspicious so far. Well then, let’s head to the magic cherry tree!

A Long-Awaited Reunion
Maiden of Spring
We have all five melodies of the spring wind now. The only thing left is to weave them into a song. I hope this is enough to wake up my friend, the meadow spirit. But just to be sure, I’d like to borrow some of your artifacts to give it a boost.
Strengthened by your artifacts, the wind’s song awoke the meadow spirit from his slumber. Oh, I’ve missed him. He hasn’t changed at all! Sure, he mumbles a bit when he’s groggy, but I think it’s adorable.

The Power of Sound
Maiden of Spring
I need your help to save the spirit of the meadow. He has been put to sleep by a powerful spell. We need another melody of the spring wind. This one is held inside the percussion frog.
In spring, I use this frog-shaped percussion device to wake the real frogs in our ponds. It instantly summons a chorus of thunderous croaks from the water. That’s our fifth wind: the spring squall!

The Voice of the City
Felix
The meadow spirit who lives on the farm has fallen into a deep, magical sleep. We need to use the melodies of the wind to wake him up. I can hear another one now: ribbon bells! Can you find them?
This ring of bells and ribbons embodies the urban wind that blows between the more densely populated areas of a city, the outskirts, and the suburbs. The ribbons represent its cyclical rhythm, and the bells, its familiar din.

An Ocean Motif
Felix
The Maiden of Spring is worried about her friend, a meadow spirit who fell victim to a magical sleeping spell. We need to catch the wind’s melodies to wake him up. See this disc music box?
We’ve had this disc-playing music box for a while. It appeared in the City before the Distortion. Its melody seems to transport the listener to a faraway shore, where a constant warm wind blows. We’ve caught a spring breeze!
