Quest
These are the story/quests featured in Hidden City. There is a vast number of stories, and please note that the order and categories are unorganized, so it might be a bit difficult to navigate. Thank you for your understanding.
-
Familiar Emblem
Sophia
Dearie, I'm sure that the notes in the bouquets are left for me by someone whose feelings I didn't reciprocate. Oh, what if he wants to take revenge on me? Curiosity is my enemy. Please let's go together and look for the silk roses mentioned in the next note!
Sugar, thank you for finding these silk roses! It's good that the surprise gift turned out to be harmless. But why is there a Security Service emblem on the box of lowers?
-
Unrequited Feeling
Carlos Light
Having received a surprise gift with a trick, Sophia is now suspicious of any anonymous gifts. Her secret admirer puts a note with a hint in each bouquet. Let's help Sophia find a bouquet of dried flowers. It was hidden somewhere by the gift giver.
Great job, we found the bouquet of dried flowers! In the enclosed card, the admirer wrote that Sophia's feelings for him were always as dry as these flowers.
-
Expensive Gift
Sophia
Dearie, I'm afraid that behind all of these flowers and notes lies some kind of catch. Another note from the secret admirer says to find a precious bouquet. Is it really made of jewels? Quickly, let's go find them!
Sugar, thank you for finding my bouquet! It was very cunningly hidden. I can't believe that my secret admirer decorated these flowers with real jewelry.
-
Bouquet of Memories
Carlos Light
Someone prepared a surprise for Sophia, but she's afraid this might be more villainy by an ill-wisher. The note from the secret admirer spoke of flowers symbolizing memory. I think it's about poppies. Help me find some!
Thank you for helping me find this bouquet of poppies. Maybe for the giver, they symbolize the memory of the past that connects him with Sophia? Who knows...?
-
Flowers Instead of Words
Sophia
Dearie, there's a line in the anonymous giver's note that seems to explain what to look for. Listen: "I didn't know what to write on the paper, so I made flowers out of it..." It's about paper flowers, right? If we follow the instructions in the note, we'll quickly find this bouquet!
Sugar, you found the paper flowers. It seems there's nothing dangerous about them. Oh, and there's a note inside too. The surprises don't really end with this bouquet, do they?
-
Unpleasant Detail
Fabien Delamode
Another detail of the guest's image was an unusual embellishment on her hand. At first I thought that her fingers were adorned with rings, but then I realized that it was a weapon! I have the same elegant brass knuckles among the Atelier's curiosities, find them.
Ooh la la, I never thought I'd see such brass knuckles - regardless how elegant - on a lady's hand! I tried to have a quick talk with her, offered her a drink, but, frankly speaking, this unexpected visit disconcerted me and was very unpleasant.
-
Scent of Discord
Fabien Delamode
The lady insisted that I sew the anti-fog suits for the scavengers. I was amazed that she was with those ragamuffins! This didn't fit in with her elegant image and exquisite perfume. You'll get an idea of her perfume if you find a freesia bouquet.
This lovely freesia bouquet exudes almost the same aroma as the visitor's perfume - floral, light, and feminine. I can't help but note that it contrasted the lady's rather harsh way of talking.
-
Crystal Inspiration
Fabien Delamode
Monsieur Black is right: the lady had crystals with her. Perhaps the very ones you're looking for. They looked great in her minimalistic bag. I even made a new accessory - a pouch handbag with gemrocks. Bring it, it's around here somewhere.
Isn't this a great combination - a simple fabric pouch handbag with the shine of gemrocks? I have several orders already... Ooh la la, Monsieur Black, I never touched the crystals brought here by the lady, I swear! I don't need any trouble!
-
Taking up the Glove
Fabien Delamode
I emphasize that the visit wasn't planned. There was no collusion! The lady simply rang the bell and, when I went out to her, she shook my hand firmly. She was wearing glovelettes - almost the same as in my spring collection, look in the shop window.
Glovelettes favorably highlight the grace of a woman's hands. Although, I must say, the visitor's handshake was very firm - I immediately knew that she wasn't some pampered girl.
-
Exquisite Adornment
Fabien Delamode
you see, the lady asked me not to talk about her visit, and I tried... But Monsieur Black is so insistent that there's no way around i - I will tell you the distinguishing features of my guest. This lady has delicate taste: I noticed that she wore ear cuffs. There are similar ones in the Atelier, look around for one.
Bravo, you found the most elegant ear cuff from the Atelier's assortment! Extraordinary women choose such jewelry, and that visitor was clearly one of them.
-
Furry Pet
Doorkeeper
It's good that the spirits told us how to return energy to the destroyed key. In the garden, a rabbit lives in a cozy enclosure. I found it with a damaged ear and have been treating it with natural ointments. could you hold the rabbit during the last procedure? We'll let it out together afterwards!
This rabbit in the enclosure doesn't like it when I try to apply ointment to its ear. It's good that you agreed to hold it and calm it down while I treat the injury. Incredible, the injury has already healed! Now we can release the rabbit and return the key some of its spring energy.
-
Temporary Home
Doorkeeper
The Maiden of Spring will come to the City and decide for herself what to do with this petrified troll that foiled her appearance. But first, let's fill the Dryad Key with spring energy by releasing the gecko I found in winter from its terrarium. Help me inspect it too.
See, my gecko feels at home in this terrarium. When I found it, it had a graze and a few of its scales were missing. Look at how nimble it is, I can't catch him alone. Can you hold it? Excellent! New scales have already grown, so it can now be safel released.
-
Fragile Creatures
Doorkeeper
Have you seen the butterflies from the Forest of Spirits? They winter inside old trees. A blizzard fell such a tree and harmed them. I settled them in a small shelter. It's there, come! When we're convinced that the butterflies are stronger, we'll release them as was ordered by the nature spirits.
I'll open the door to this small shelter with butterflies, and you make sure they don't fly away prematurely. One of them had its wing damaged. I don't want it to become easy prey for someone.
-
Sudden Frost
Doorkeeper
Because of this troll thief, spring energy has left the Dryad Key. But we'll fill the key with its old magic by releasing the animals that I cared for. Don't be surprised, but I have a frog living in a glass jar. come and see!
I found the frog that's in the jar you're holding in the garden. It had damaged feet from trying to dig up the icy soil. The hopper didn't have the time to bury itself in the ground before the cold came . If you're not afraid, hold it, and I'll see if its legs are healed. great, there's no ta scratch!
-
Frostbitten Wing
Doorkeeper
If I've interpreted the spirits' message correctly, the spring warmth energy settled in my pets' hearts. I'll open the locks and set them free, then the Dryad Key will be filled with spring energy once again. Let's see if that caged bird's wing has healed!
I'll open the cage, and you hold the bird carefully. I found it with a frostbitten wing and nursed it all winter. Let's make sure the wing is all right now. Let's see... Wonderful, the frostbitten area is covered with new feathers an the wing is now stronger!
-
Unique Component
Martha
The Dryad Key was created by the spirits of nature using ancient magic. Hence, it's magic that will rejoin its parts. I see that you haven't yet found the key's masterwork bit. Without it, I cannot begin the ritual. Find it where the troll dropped the key!
You're holding the masterwork bit of the key. Thank you for your haste! This bit doesn't look like an element for an ordinary key, but then it wouldn't, as the magic gate's lock isn't ordinary either.
-
Important Element
Detective
Buddy, Martha needs every single element of the broken key to rejoin all of them, so we can't miss anything. I think I see a petrified key stem in the grass over there. Let's check it out!
Great, we've found the key stalk! At this rate, buddy, Martha will quickly perform the ritual and rejoin the Dryad Key. I hope the Doorkeeper will soon be able to open the gate and meet the Maiden of Spring!
-
Lost Colors
Doorkeeper
The Dryad Key's elements look so undermarkable and dull now... I hope that when Martha rejoins them, the spiring colors will return to the key. Before it broke, its foliar decoration was bright and vivid. Let's try to find it!
Oh well, the foliar decoration you found has completely lost its color when it petrified in the troll thief's hands. Now my key looks like a pale imitation of the nature spirits' creation.
-
Remnants of Magic
Martha
To restore the Dryad Key, I need all of its components. A bow in the form of a filigree disk similar to an open flower bud is an important part. Please find it!
Thanks to your efforts, we now have the filigree disk! I sense the remnants of the nature spirits' magic in it, as pure as dew. But because the key was broken, it almost ran out.
-
The Queen of Country
Rayden Storke
Sophia has already prepared for the reconciliatory concert with the country star. Let's put one of the ghostly singer's musical awards on stage! This will show he rthat we remember and lover her music.
The music award you put on stage looks great! The crown and microphone symbolize Cecci Barto's musical title - "The Queen of Country".
-
New Outfit
Sophia
Since my concert dress was stolen by the contry star's ghost, I'll wear her dress. By performing in each other's outfits, we'll show everyone that music unites. Look, what a beautiful fringed dress I found!
This fringed dress hasn't gone out of fashion even after many years! I will order a similar one for my performances, I've wanted to update my concert wardrobe for a long time.
-
Body Language
Huntress
As a child I loved to dance, and my parents once gave me a Ballerina Doll. She spun around on her base, and it was really inspiring to me. I bet the Puppeteer also made ballerinas that danced and fluttered like butterflies. Let's find one like that in the yard.
Oh! A Ballerina Doll that does different dances. I could watch its practised, light-as-a-feather steps for hours! And this note from the Puppeteer might be of interest to you: "I not only taught the doll how to move, I forced her to dance! But, alas, it's all mechanics, none of it is real..."
-
Words, Words
Cardsharp
You're on the lookout for unique dolls and you didn't even call the old Cardsharp? Well I for one just searched the archives and leaned that the Puppeteer didn't just make violinists and beauties. He also had a doll that could speak! Let's go find it!
There it is, the Talking Doll! And what's this paper here, one of the Puppeteer's notes? "I found out how to make dolls speak, but they only repeat the last words they hear! Why can't I get this right?"
-
Laughter and Tears
Valerie
I heard you're looking for super-dolls that the genius craftsman made. I'm in! Onwards, let's search the yard!
We found the doll, but it's so gloomy... What does this note have to say? The master Puppeteer writes: "Real people can be both happy and sad, but this doll is always sad. Another failure."
-
A Maestro's Game
Isabelle
I heard you need help looking for the genius Puppeteer's dolls. I'm ready. Let's hurry up and go to the Yard of Forgotten Toys.
What a wonderful Violinist Doll... I wouldn't mind having one myself! Look, there's a page from the Pupeteer's diary here too: "Talents are an important human quality, so I created a doll that is capable of playing the most complicated symphonies. But it can't feel or improvise... Again, not what I need..."
-
Beauty Will Save the World
Detective
The Mayor decided to give his daughter a living doll? That's impossible! We must figure out how the Puppeteer planned on creating a living doll. Let's look around in the Yard of Forgotten Toys for other dolls he made. I'm sure they'll reveal his secrets. I saw one of them near the entrance to the house. Bring it here, please.
What a beautiful doll! And it looks so real! Although, that's where its similarity with people stops. The Puppeteer left some notes here too: "External beauty is good, but how can I capture the charm and appeal of a real person?"
-
A Mechanical Wonder
Mayor
Finally, I came up with a gift that would definitely fill my Sarah with amazement! I needed a living doll! Somehow I got my hands on a surprising little business card. It was in the shape of a mecahnical fan and had info on a certain Puppeteer. I understood at once that he was the only one that could create what I needed. I bet if you combine all the gifts you found and added some City magic, you'd be able to get that fan-like business card.
Oh, you did it! You received the mechanical fan. It's truly a work of art! If that Puppeteer has business cards like that, imagine what kind of toys he could make! So I decided that I could trust him to make a doll for Sarah.
-
Mayoral Games
Mayor
I simply couldn't manage to pick out a gift worthy of my Sarah. She deserved the very best, so I decided to give her a city. A toy one, of course. Go find this Toy City, it was somewhere in the yard.
You brought me the Toy City! But, alas, it too proved not enough. Once, when I was watching Sarah play with her dolls, I heard her say, "It's too bad that you don't understand me and can never say anything back." It was in that moment that I realised what I could get to truly surprise my little girl.
-
A Wild Imagination
Mayor
I wanted to surprise my little girl so badly on her birthday that I even ordered an exotic present: a lynx in a gold an amethyst collar. I have no idea how, but this animal is still bounding about in the Yard of Forgotten Toys. I hope you'll be lucky enough to catch it.
You caught the lynx! Your talents will never cease to amaze me. However, this animal also couldn't pass as an acceptable gift. Despite being domesticated, it was still a wild animal that could injure a child.
-
Night-time Observations
Mayor
At night I would of ten shate up at the stars and think over what I could get to amaze my little Sarah. Then it dawned on me: get her a Telescope! My baby girl would be able to observe the heavens and admire how they sparkled. Bring me the Telescope, I saw it near the Puppeteer's house.
There's the Telescope I planned to give my daughter. And yet, this gift didn't work either. As Sarah was only seven years old, a child of that age should be asleep at night, nog gazing up at the sky.
-
Table Tracks
Mayor
Instead of a dress I decidd to give Sarah a Toy Trainset for her birthday. I think I saw it near the tree in the Yard of Forgotten Toys. Please, be so kind as to bring it to me.
I see you've brought me the Toy Trainset. Was it heavy? Of course it was - it was meant for an enormous dining table. An excellent gift, but my Sarah was a delicate and fragile little girl. I decided that maybe she wouldn't like a trainset.
-
Quarrel's Consequences
Anna Weber
That unusual evening, I couldn't concentrate on my work. Sounds of a quarrel distracted me. Fabien was shouting at the visitor! Later, I saw a broken glass in the bin. If someone threw it, there should be traces of spilled wine. Let's look for them.
-
Fit for a Princess
Mayor
You brought the items I asked for, so I'll tell you my family history. It began almost 200 years ago. An important day was approaching, the seventh birthday of my daughter Sarah. I decided to put on a huge event - all the City's residents were invited, and the tables buckled under the weight of all her treats. Naturally, I had a special gift waiting for my little girl. For starters, I wanted to give Sarah a dress fit for a princess, sewed with golden thread and accented with peals. Find it for me, please.
You tracked down the dress for Sarah. Look at the fine lacework and rich detailing! I really tried to get only the best for my daughter. However, when I saw the dress, I realised that it didn't show Sarah's beauty or charm well enough. I was forced to look for another gift.
-
Alarming Signal
Anna Weber
I know that an unusual event occurred in the Atelier, although I didn't see anything. But I heard it! Fabien doesn't receive customers in the evenings, and although it was already late, someone was persistently ringing the bell. It's very loud, try ringing it.
This table bell makes a shrill sound. Fabien uses this one on purpose so he can always hear it and rush to his clients. The ringing distracted me from my work, and I wondered who it could be, as it was much too late to receive clients.
-
Fine Work
Anna Weber
Mr. Storke is so nice, he complimented my bracelet... Yes, I told him about the unusual incident in the Atelier. But I didn't see anything. I was in my room, making lace for a dress trimming. Find the lace and you'll see why I didn't get up.
When you make such a lace, you need to be very careful not to make a mistake in the pattern, so I sat and concentrated on my work. But I was distracted and almost ruined the lace! Such an event that interferes with work is very unusual in the Atelier.
-
Jazz Origins
Sophia
I like the idea of reconciliation by means of music. Let's arrange a duet with the ghostly country singer. Please get me a concert banjo for my image! Although I don't play, it will do for the entourage.
You're back with the concert banjo! Thank you. Did you know that they used a banjo not only for playing country, but also for jazz?
-
Country Jazz
Rayden Storke
In order for Cecci Barto's ghost to leave the Cabaret, let's show her that the listeners still love country songs. Sophia will perform in the guise of a country performer in a duet with the ghostly singer. To do this, she'll need a microphone with a harmonica. Let's look for it!
You found the microphone with a harmonica! It has a special mount for a mouth organ, which allows you to conveniently switch from singing to playing.
-
Wooden Safe
Kira Woodville
A few more steps, and we'll see... a stump? Have I made a mistake in my calculations? No, I remember, it's a cache! You see, my memory is already failing me a little, we need to make a memento pendant urgently. I believe that it'll work. Just help me open the stump cache.
The stump cache is now open, you quickly determined what to push to access it. Were your parents special agents too? Well, I've got the stone for my memento pendant. I'll tell you a secret: it's a spellstone. They say it causes mutations and reveals superpowers.
-
Reason to Talk
Rayden Storke
We need to get some valuable information rom Anna for the investigation. What would get her talking? Perhaps I can praise her savvy. Have you seen that convenient bracelet Anna made so that her sewing things were to hand? Look for this needlewoman's bracelet, it's worth a look.
This needle woman's bracelet is a very practical thing. Anna said that she came up with this device herself. I should do something like this for myself so I don't lose important spare parts and tools. But for now I'll find out what unusual things Anna saw in the Atelier.
-
Don't Panic
Rayden Storke
On Mr. Black's instructions, I was looking for witnesses to the transfer of the stolen rystals to the counturier. It seems no one saw it. Seamstress Anna was very nervous answering questions though. I'll find out what she's hiding. But I need to calm her down first. Look for some smelling salt.
Thank you, this smelling salt falcon will come in handy when talking to Anna. She swore that she didn't see the crystals, but the question about unusual incidents in the Atelier made her as pale as a sheet. I'll continue the conversation, with smelling salt at the ready.
-
Pinpoint Accuracy
Kira Woodville
It seems that the place where the stone is hidden is fog-free. But I'm not certain. To calculate its position according to the coordinates, we'll need the geodetic device my parents used. Let's find our old distance meter.
This distance meter has been through a lot, and it still works just fine! Now I'll determine where the stone for my memento pendant is located with pinpoint accuracy. Follow me!
-
Time-Tested Device
Carlos Light
Ancient knowledge will help me determine whether the tower clock is showing the right time. I think the keeper of the City's clock used a proven device such as the merkhet clock in his work. Have you found one?
Precisely, this is merkhet - an ancient Egyptian instrument for determining time during day - by the sun, and at night - by the North Star. Hmm, we just need to find it in the fog.
-
Stone Chronometer
Carlos Light
Black's assignment to find tout it the City's clock is wrong turned out to be harder than I thought. It's difficult to determine the exact time in the City, but I'll manage! Let's look for a hemicyclium sundial.
The hemicyclium sundial is one of the most reliable designs. Its dial is in the form of a stone bowl and is convenient for observing the passage of time. This is what I'll do.
-
Stellar Calculations
Calros Light
The zodiac clock you found brought us closer to our goal - I almost determined the accurate time. If only the fog wasn't covering the stars...
-
Secret Code
Kira Woodville
Mom and dad tracked illegal mining of valuable minerals. They encrypted their reports and taught me to do the same. It was back then that I encrypted the information about the unusual stone I want for my parent. To read it, we'll need a pocket decoder. Find one.
This pocket decoder will help me find out the coordinates of where the stone for my memento pendant is hidden. It'll take just a minute... Done! I haven't lost my decryption skills, I have the coordinates.
-
An Elegant Accessory
Valerie
What's a birtuday party without presents? Exactly - it isn't one! And every gift needs a cool package. A pretty box wrapped up in an enormous Silk Bow is nothing short of spectacular. Bring it here, please.
What an awesome bow... You can wrap an elephant in it! What kind of gift did the Mayor have in store for his daughter?
-
Valuable Skills
Kira Woodville
I'm a daughter of special agents, that's why I'm so... brisk. My parents gave me valuable skills. I need the memento pendant so that I don't forget any of them. In gratitude, I can show you a couple of nimble tricks. Let's find the exerciser for developing dexterity.
This dexterity exerciser helped me keep fit from a young age. I never thought I'd see it again, because we suddenly left and abandoned it here. Workouts always awaken memories in me. Now, back to finding the stone for my memento pendant.
-
Undercover
Kira Woodville
My parents and I were in the City long before the fog enveloped it. A pendant with the stone we're looking for will remind me of them. By the way, some of our things from those times still remain here. For example, my sheathed umbrella, look for it.
Want to know why the umbrella is shethed? Because, like any other object, it can be used as a weapon for self-defense - that's what my mom and dad taught me. Officially, they were gold hunters, but I can tell you in confidence: my parents are special agents.
-
Secret Exit
Kira Woodville
The hardest thing to remember is how I escaped from captivity. Perhaps this is the key. I often see a door in my dreams... I was led through it by a man without a hood. It was kind of special, this door. I will try to make a maquette of it, help me.
Thank you! With your help, I made a nice maquette of the door from my memories. I've realized what it was about: the door was hidden, my savior led me through a fireplace! And before that, he was arguing with a man in a black hood. That man called him... "Collector"!
-
Treacherous Cover
Carlos Light
I always stay away from table No8. Many people fall for no apparent reason when walking past it. Or is there a reason after all? Inspect the red carpet lying near the table, and I'll shine a torch on it for you!
The red carpet lying next to table No8 seems to deliberately tuck into folds underfoot in order to make the visitors fall, believe it or not!
-
Inexplicable Confusion
Kira Woodville
I heard that table No8 attracts misfortunes, and the items that happen to be near it become hazardous, just like that drapery cord. It always gets under people's feet. Inspect it, but be careful!
Despite the fact that they use this cord to tie up the curtains, it still mysteriously appears on the floor, and someone always trips over it.
-
A Game and a Treat
Conductor
Nuts are the best treat at any birthday party, and nutcrackers are a hilarious toy for the little ones. You can use it as a doll and a way to crack nuts. I think I saw a Nutcracker in the yard. Go and find it.
Here's the Nutcracker, brand new without every having cracked a single nut. Maybe I'll keep it for a day or two if the Mayor doesn't mind?
-
Dangerous Toxins
Rayden Storke
Many people have become sick at table No8. Some believe that a curse is the cause of the sickness, while others blame the tropical plant next to it for some reason. Let's go and study it!
Thanks for telling me the name of this tropical plant! I read that the monstera's leaves contain toxins. Maybe people whre feeling ill because of them?
-
Mystical Place
Sophia
Dearie, this curse is not fictional! Do you see these furniture nails sticking out? Their sharp ends are repeatedly hammered flat, but they start to protrude from under the upholstery as soon as someone sits at the table. You don't believe me? Then sit down yourself!
The furniture nails you found are very sharp, aren't they? Make no mistake, dearie, this cursed place deliberately "stings" the visitors!
-
Recent Misfortune
Carlos Light
Rayden decided to check whether the cursed table in the Cabaret is true. Yesterday, one guy came up to table No8, and the ceiling's lampshade fell on him - it nearly killed the poor fellow! Doesn't this confirm that the curse is real? Let's examine the fallen lampshade.
Look, the lampshade's mount is secure - strange that the lampshade fell all of a sudden. And this is the thrid lampshade this year that has collapsed from over the cursed table No8.
-
Stellar Calculations
Carlos Light
To check the accuracy of the tower check, I decided to use not only the sun but also the zodiac signs. I'll calculate the time using the constellations. Help me find the zodiac clock.
-
Pointing Shadow
Carlos Light
Let's try another way of finding out how accurate the tower clock's mechanism is - we'll caclulate the time using a horizontal sundial. They have a flat dial and a gnomon pointer, look for one.
You found the horizontal sundial. With it, you can check the time during any season, given you factor in the dates of the solstices. I'll try to calculate them.
-
Old-timer's Advice
Mayor
The Diggers are back and they're not talking, so it will be hard to discover their goals. Maybe they're after something on the surface. Or they just want to protect their realm? I'm worried about Cardsharp's plan. It seems he's picked a bad time to look for the Diggers' Cache. Maybe you can talk him out of it?
Are you out of your mind!? Abandon the search for the cache? Never! I sense a huge profit at the end of all this. We're going to look for the Diggers' Cache right away or we'll miss everything important.
-
Ooops!
Juliette
The Mayor's grand birthday bash at that time would definitely have had outdoor games. Stick horses were popular back then with boys, and girls were crazy about jump ropes. Look for them, please.
You found a Stick Horse and Jump Rope! Children absolutely adore these things. No birthday party is complete without them.
-
Forewarned is Forearmed
Huntress
It's good that the diggers don't attack us, I've got enough on my plate as it is. Still, we'd better tell the Mayor about the diggers, just in case. Everything happenes for a reason in this City.
If you're here on such a dismal night, something serious must've happened. Let me guess... You want to speak to mea bout the diggers?
-
An Explosion of Colour
Valerie
You're looking fo things from a birthday celebration. I love it! I definitely saw a Party Popper in the yard somewhere. Can you find it?
Wow, look at this Party Popper! It'll cover you in confetti if you set it off!
-
Chocolate Masterpiece
Mayor
You want to know why I visit the Yard of Forgotten Toys every year on the same day? It's the day we celebrate my daughter Sarah's birthday. I'll share my sad tale with you if you bring me some items from Sarah's last party. Start with her Birthday Cake with candles. It's somewhere under the tree.
Yes, of course that's it! Chocolate cake with whipped cream - Sarah's absolute favourite.
-
Classic Etiquette
Valerie
I saw a Top Hat in a pile of toys next to a mechanical harlequin. It stared at me with a frightening, wide-open, beady-eyed stare that I couldn't even approach it. Bring me the Top Hat, I think it'll tell us a lot about its owner.
Awesome! You brought the Top Hat! I think the mysterious visitor is an older gentleman. This item, as expensive and beautiful as it is, can't exactly pass as fashionable.
-
A Status Accessory
Detective
At the entrance to the house I saw a Neck Scarf, but the wind came and blew it away. Could you please find it. I think it's something else that belongs to our mystery man.
Good thing you found this Neck Scarf. Look here! There's a monogram embroidered on it. I guess the Yard of Forgotten Toy's mysterious guest is not only wealthy, but from a well-known family as well.
-
A Forgetful Gentleman
Detective
I walked around the yard and noticed a golden Umbrella Cane under a tree among the toys. It seems to be another item belonging to our mystery man. Bring it here, please.
I was right, this Umbrella Cane is definitely golden. That means the secret visitor is wealthy.
-
An Absentminded Burglar
Detective
So, you have new searches? I also want to know which resident is coming into the closed Yard of Forgotten Toys. What if he gets it into his head to steal something next time he goes into someone else's home?
You found a Snuffbox. That's useful. I bet that means the mysterious visitor is a man.
-
The Fifth Rule of the Cabaret
Mr. Black
The Cabaret has its own set of rules, and all the visitors should remember this. I've joined the search for agold collar chain symbolizing the fifth rule. Help me find it!
We have the gold chain. It was confiscated at the entrance, because it emphasized the status of its owner, and in the Cabaret it's forbidden to show off your position in society.
-
The Fourth Rule of the Cabaret
Rayden Storke
I approve of Sophia's idea to remind the visitors of the rules for a peaceful stay in the Cabaret. Let's find the accuser's symbol that will remind everyone of the rule - "Do not judge the guests for actions committed outside the walls of the Cabaret!"
The symbol you found will be an excellent reminder of how a judge was once expelled into the fog for accusing the visitors.
-
Two-Faced Snake
Kira Woodville
In addition to the devices, strange signs and things surrounded me in the large room. I've already assembled a whole collection of the items reminiscent of those in my memories. Some things just seem like fiction. Find the statuette of an amphisbaena snake, and you'll understand what I mean...
Look at this statuette - it depicts an amphisbaena, a two-headed snake. I'm sure I saw such a creature in the place where they kept me! I guess I'm just confusing dream with reality. Yet the memory of the amphisbaena slithering at my feet feels so real...
-
Vivid Experiment
Kira Woodville
I also remember participating in some experiments, although I didn't understand their purpose. One of them involved me following a multicolored spinning top. Later, I got such a toy by trading with a scavenger. Look for my colored top.
Yes, you found the colored spinning top I was talking about. I looked at a similar one in the room full of devices for a long time, it made me feel like the floor was dissolving and I was falling into a deep hole. Perhaps it was hypnosis. But an ordinary spinning top toy doesn7t cause such an effect.

Measuring Device
Kira Woodville
I recall that some hooded people led me into a large room with lots of devices. I saw one of them later at Carlos Light's, which aroused my memory. He said it's a fog activity counter, take a look.
This fog activity counter is exactly like the one I saw in the room full of devices. The lamplighter assembled it according th the Collector's drawings. This means that the hooded people also studied hte fog and had access to the Collector's inventions.

Unusual Guard
Kira Woodville
I was sucked into the City of Shadows through a suddenly opened portal. I ended up in some locked room, where I was being watched by an eye in the doorknob. I dream about it so often that I made a copy of this all-seeing knob, look for it.
In the room where I was being held, such an all-seeing doorknob was animated by some unknows technology. Living under its gaze was very uncomfortable. But I remember this very well, I need to find out what I've forgotten.

Clear Hint
Kirra Woodville
The riddles are left for me by someone who knows that Iflew to the Lower City. But who is it? Under the flask's top there's another note: "What can travel the world while always staying in the corner?" Let's look for a stamp. I'm sure this is the answer!
This is an envelope with a stamp, and there's an airplane on it. This is a clear hint about my flight in the airship. It was a secret mission: maybe someone has decided to blackmail me with this information?

Decorative Clasp
Mr. Black
You're misleading the investigation, aren't you? Admit it, Delamode: you took the stolen crystals and came up with a fashion for shiny garments to cover up your shady dealings. But we'll find what was stolen! That thing with large gems - what is it? A precious fibula? Let's check it out.
The gems in this precious fibula are similar to anti-fog crystals. What dress did you prepare it for, Delamode? But don't pretend that the outfit isn't ready yet, or that the client asked you to keep everything secret. Show it!

Birght Protection
Kira Woodville
My cosmetic bag is almost fully equipped, but we haven7t found my crucial item yet nor my favorite bottle of nail polish. Take a closer look, it's quite noticeable - colored in orange and looks like a shield. I think such a bright shield bottle will be easy to notice. Can you help?
Great, you found my bottle of nail polish! I was worried that it might have leaked out, but it's all right. This nail polish is wonderful for strengthening nails. Not only do they look beautiful, but they can be useful in combat. There's atechnique called "tiger strike", have you heard of it?

Expensive Material
Fabien Delamode
I don't make deals with criminals. All the glitter you see is paid for by the respected residents of the City. They want to wear beautiful clothes and don't skimp when ordering the most fashionable materials. For example, shining fabrics. Look around, these are logs of them in the Atelier.
You found the shining fabrics. Feel free to make sure there are no anti-fog crystals in tem. They are woven from precious gold and silver threads embroidered with crystallite - there's nothing illegal about them.
-
Bull's-Eye Shot
Kira Woodville
We've already collected most of the scattered contents of my cosmetic bag but haven't yet found the crucial item. It must be nearby... What's sparkling over there? No, that's not a bullet at all but my eye pencil. Let's get it back in to my cosmetic bag.
An eye pencil inserted into the cartridge like a bullet is very convenient to hold. The lines you make with it come out clear and bold like shots. I'll show you later, but now we need to continue searching for my crucial item.
-
Treasure Box
Mr. Black
Don't think that relieves our suspicions that easily, Delamode! You could hide the stolen crystals among your glittering trinkets, so we'll check all of your dubious jewelry. What's in the box over there? Faceted gemrocks? Bring them here.
These really are gemrocks, no anti-fog crystals among them. But having this many valuable minerals is rather suggestive... Maybe you got them as payment for the deal with the crytal thieves?
-
Deadly Beauty
Kira Woodville
Yes, my cosmetic bag stores very important things, but I don't carry any weapons in it, ever! You're saying you saw a gun on the floor? This most likely is a box of blush and foundation. Bring it here, my gun palette.
You see, this box only looks like a gun, but there's actually cosmetics inside it. I came up with the design of this palette for blush and foundation myself. It's great, right? A hint that beauty is a terrible power.

Carmine Arsenal
Kira Woodville
They say red lipstick suits all women, they just need to tind their own shade. Mine is carmine, and in my cosmetic bag I had several lipstiks in thie shade. For convenience, I keep them in a bandolier. It seems to have fallen under the table. Bring it to me, please.
You found my bandolier with the lipsticks in the perfect carmine shade! Your help is very welcome, I hope that the crucial item from my cosmetic bag will also be found soon.
-
Luxurious Trimming
Fabien Delamode
Ooh la la, Monsieur Black, you'll find many crystals in the Atelier, but there are no anti-fog ones! I can explain everything! Crystals are now in fahion, they're used to trim evening dresses. Take a look at thie crystal fringe.
See, this crystal fringe consists of real crystals. But it's no use inserting them into a lamp, as they don't emit light. But they perfectly reflect it and shine, because they're made of pure crystallite. Expensive, but beautiful. My customers willingly pay for it.
-
Cannetille Patterns
Mr. Black
Mr. Delamode, we have information that you're hiding the stolen anti-fog crystals to use in the manufacture of certain suits. And we will find them! I see a source of rediance in the cabinet. You're assuring that it's a gold embroidery? Let's take a closer look.
This gold embroidery is dazzling. Yes, I've already checked and it's not made of crystals but cannetille - a precious metal thread. But there are definitely crystals on that fabric, and it's quite possible they're the ones we're looking for.
-
Explosive Perfume
Kira Woodville
I keep my crucial item in my cosmetic bag - this way, it's always with me. Just like my favorite perfume. I don't go out without it. And now the flacon has fallen out and rolled off somewhere. find it, but don't be scared - it looks very much like a grenade.
You found my perfume flacon, thank you! I never loved floral perfumes, but leather mixed with sandalwood, oakmoss, bergamot, and a drop of musk - mmm! This smell is the bomb, and gthe flacon is matching. On occasion, it can also be apsychological weapon.
-
Lost Coordinates
Carlos Light
Black instructed me to check the accuracy of the City's clock. I'm not a watchmaker, of course, but I think I can manage this task. We just need to tind the chronometers used by the tower clock's keeper. Will you help? Let's start simple - with an equatorial sundial.
Such an equatorial sundial works flawlessly. Though for its time to be accurate you need to know the coordinates of its installation site, which is difficult in a city hat's lost in the fog.

The Third Rule of the Cabaret
Sophia
Dearie, it's time to remind the visitors that the rules of the Cabaret mustn't be violated. The establishment stores many seized antique seals. Let's find them, and I'll tell you about hte third rule!
All these seized seals belonged to deceivers. They entered into fake contracts with those who didn't know that any document signed within the Cabaret is invalid.
-
The Second Rule of the Cabaret
Rayden Storke
The rules reminder will show the visitors of the Cabaret what they mustn't do. Help me find the gloves of a fight instigator who was forever banned from entering this place for disregarding the second rule!
You found the instigator's gloves, keep it up! The second rule of Cabaret says: "You shall strike your enemy with a slient look, not a first!"
-
The First Rule of the Cabaret
Sophia
Dearie, let's pick a symbolic item for each rule of the Cabaret. The first rule says: "Bring flowers to the Cabaret, not weapons!" A visitor once interrupted my performance witha gunshot. When he left the Cabaret, he disappeared, and I received an apology note and a gun in some roses. Let's find it!
Sugar, this gun in roses will be an excellent symbol for the first rule of the Cabaret. I hope no one else dares bring weapons to this place.

Flase Information
Mr. Black
Sophia said that she didn't go on a date with any of her admirers with the mysterious burns. But in her dressing room I saw a bouquet with a card signed by Mr. Davis, one of the "happy" owners of the burn. Let's take a closer look at the bouquet!
Sophia has already got rid of the bouquet with the note from Mr. Davis. Thanks for finding it! Davis thanks her for a wonderful evening. Interesting...

Gulp of Information
Kira Woodville
Under the pan's lid there's another note with a riddle: "It has a neck but no head." It sounds threatening... Yes, you're right, it's only a riddle. The answer may be some kind of bottle, help me find it quickly.
You found a pilot flask. Indeed, it will do as an answer. I had a similar flask during my airship mission. Could we consider this a clue?
-
Camping Option
Kira Woodville
I tried to put on one of the gloves and found another note inside it: "It can be deep, it can be shallow, but it's not a river." Who's playing with me? I have to find out! Help me find the answer. I think it could be a pan.
Exactly, a pan is the answer to the riddle, but not an ordinary one. This is a camping pan. Is someone hinting that they know about my duty trip to the Lower City?
-
Unusual Pair
Kira Woodville
What a strange message I've received, listen: "It has five fingers, one of which is big, but it's not a hand. What is it?" I have an idea - it's a glove! If I'm right, we'll be quick to find it.
You found a pair of gloves straight away, and they're flight gloves, not plain ones. The riddle wasn't hard, and it makes it even more unclear as to why I was asked it.

Here's Valerie
Conductor
The house is empty, but sounds are coming from the cellar. We need to fight our way there - I'm sure the werewolves locked Valerie downstairs. We can't open the hatch - we have to work it with our hands.
Hey you, come out! Yes, it7s me, the "old Conductor". Maybe old, but you should have seen the werewolves run away a minute ago. I swear by my flask, if they catch you again I won't rescue you!

Full Moon Moth
Rayden Storke
In grandma's notebook, it's written: "The dust from the wings of the death's-head hawkmoth caught on a full moon completes the preparation of the sleepy position." Well, it's a full moon now, so let's catch it.
You caught the unusual moth! Now I'll shake off a bit of dust from its wings for the sleepy drink. It looks like ash. Hmm, the drink recipe seems all the more strange...
-
Exotic Component
Rayden Storke
We've already collected almost all the ingredients to prepare the sleepy potion from my grandma's recipe. Will I finally get enough sleep? Wait a minute, we also need a seed from the Rudraksha tree. where do we find it?
This Rudraksha seed looks interesting! I've heard that in its wrinkled shell you can see the outlines of faces. They seem to be looking at me... Why did my grandma include such an exotic ingredient in her recipe? I hope the sleepy potion won't be bitter.
-
Ominous Flower
Rayden Storke
The sleepy potion recipe does actually mention a flower: grandma wrote that the juice from the petals of a black mallow is needed. I don't even know if it grows in the City or not. If you bring me a black mallow, I'd be very grateful.
Great, we have the black mallow! Its spicy smell is making me dizzy. An unusual recipe, isn't it? But grandma knew a lot about healing drinks, so it's best to do everything as she wrote.
-
Protected by Stings
Rayden Storke
It's strange that grandma's recipe for a good night's sleep drink doesn't have the usual ingredients like chamomile or lavender flowers, but there's wasp honey. I've never tried it before. Could you find a wasp nest so we can get the honey together?
You were quick to find the wasp's nest, and there really is honey inside it. I won't ruin the nest, I'll take the exact amount of honey it says in grandma's recipe.
-
Unusual Beginning
Rayden Storke
I really want to make myself a sleepy potion from grandma's recipe today in order to sleep peacefully. But the recipe isn't as simple as I thought. Help me collect the necessary ingredients. For example, smoky hops. Have you seen some of that?
You managed to find the smoky hops! Ordinary hops are used to brew jollifying drinks, and the smoky ones must be for shooting your body and clouding your head. So we've already got the first ingredient for the sleepy potion. Now I'll check what else we need.
-
Ominous Grin
Mr. Black
The creepy monster is hiding in the fog and could attack at any moment. Because of this, I've been sleeping badly and having nightmares. In one of them, there was a monster with a flower maw... Wait a minute, is that the maw over there, in the corner?
This is some kind of phantasmagoria! How could the monster's maw end up here! Hmm, I'm certain I've seen it before, not just in my dreams...
-
The Gamblers
Kira Woodville
I spoke to the visitors at the Cabaret and was told that recently a dispute arose between the men with the same burns. They made a bet and dropped some folded bills into a hat. Help me find them!
Thank you for finding the folder bills! They were folded in the shape of hearts. Look, each one has Sophia's name on it... What does all this mean?
-
A Date with the Idol
Mr. Black
These eccentrics with burns definitely got into some trouble. The withnesses informed me that they saw them all earlier holding the same invitation envelopes. Let's look for them together! What if the brawl occurred at an event?
Thank you for finding these envelopes. You say they were in sophia's dressing room? Look, there are notes inside with a proposal to go on a date.
