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.
-
Fan Club
Kira Woodville
How did these Cabaret regulars manage to get the same burn on their faces? I noticed that each of them wears similar silver bracelets on their wrists. Another thing in common? Let's try to get one and inspect it!
You managed to quietly take a bracelet. Great job! Sophia's initials are engraved on its silver clasp. These Cabaret frequenters seem to be her fans.
-
Steel Armor
Mr. Black
I'm concerned about the problem of defending ourselves against a monster with sharp feathers and pincers, and even more worried about how we'll attack it. How do you destroy a monster with strong scales? I've recently picked up such scales take a look.
A monster with metal scales, how do you like that? It seems that it's bulletproof, which makes things even more complicated. It's been bad enough with the fog, but now we've got this monster too!
-
Deadly Pincer
Mr. Black
A huge monster with knife feathers - as if these wasn't enough trouble already! I came across another element of its arsenal - a humongous pincer. I hid it in a drawer so it wouldn't scare anyone. Take it out.
The pincer looks particularly intimidating. With such a weapon, this aggressive monster could go killing left and right! I don't even know how we'll defend ourselves from it...
-
Healing Remedy
Mr. Black
These scoundrels claim that there's no connection between them, but I see right through their lies. We'll discover in which brawl they got hurt. I've been informed that each of them purchased some sea buckthorn oil in the pharmacy. Does it promote wound healing? Let's get the oil and study it!
You brought some sea buckthorn oil. The instructions say that it contributes to the healing of burns. So it turns out that all these men in the Cabaret have burns on their faces!
-
Waymark in the Fog
Carlos Light
Thank you for reminding me why I took you on duty with me. So, Sophia needs inspiration from the City's iconic relics to write a song. Let's find the firefly bait that I installed.
It's good that you noticed the glare and found the firefly bait! This device is a waymark used in pitch darkness to help you move forward.
-
Blade Feathers
Mr. Black
I couldn't make out how exactly the monster was moving, but it might have wings. I picked up some strange feathers not far from where I saw the silhouette. They should be around here, find them.
You can check for yourself but the monster's feathers look like blades. I'm not sure if they're meant for flying, but they'd certainly make a terrible weapon.
-
Strong Foot
Mr. Black
During my evening rounds on the fog's edge, I started noticing a suspicious silhouette, clearly not human. Anytime I went to get closer, it dissolved into the fog. But I've found some material evidence. Take a look at this footpring, for example.
This footprint was left by a huge creature - it's foot has been imprinted in stone! I'm no coward, but I wouldn't want to fight such a monster...
-
Curfew
Mr. Black
Curfew is an important part of the Law of Black. It was introduced to protect the citizens, although many think otherwise. The signal of its coming was frightening, as we used a hand-cranked siren to announce it. It's here somewhere, look, for it.
That is some sound! We don't use such sirens anymore. Instead, a more melodic curfew reminder has been set up in all the watches in the City, and I'm proud of it.
-
To New Aartments
Mr. Black
The Collector disappeared, and with him his life-saving inventions. So I began to apply my law: I conducted an operation to collect the crystals that were still intact and offered to help move citizens to safer areas. Find a wheelbarrow.
The citizens were provided with such a strong wheelbarrow for their belongings as well as a first-aid kit. But they didn't want to withdraw from their homes. Grumblers appeared.
-
Valuable Resource
Mr. Black
I came up with the Law of Black when I saw the citizens carrying the Collector's anti-fog crystals to their homes and ruining them by inserting them into unsuitable appliances. Like that kerosene lamp over there - pass it, I'll show you.
If you place an anti-fog crystal in this kerosene lamp, it'll quickly fail. The use of such a valuable resource had to be controlled!
-
Save Our Souls!
Mr. Black
The citizens rushed to seek protection. Requests for help sometimes still come via pneumatic mail, but back then, all the civil services were simply swamped with them. You can see for yourself - there's a box full of such letters.
"Save us, the fog's getting into our house!" - I've read handreds, thousands of such messages! Someone had to take care of the citizens. I took this burden upon myself.
-
Rule of the Fog
Mr. Black
When something commonly referred to as the Distortion happened in the City, and the fog began swallowing houses and streets, there was naturally a panic amongst the citizens. They tried to protect themselves from the fog by improvised means. You can still find various devices around here. That respirator mask, for instance. Bring it.
Don't repeat someone else's mistakes: such a respirator mask doesn't protect against the fog. This was proven at a great cost - people in the respirators never returned.
-
Dwaring Hunt
Mr. Black
The attackers have prepared well and gathered lots of information. I recently carried over all the Collector's drawings that we had over to the repository. Someone reported this to the Resistance... Check the stand with the drawings.
We scared them off, almost all the drawings are still in place... except for one. I see the lamp glass and crystal installation diagram, it wasn't taken. Strange...

Security Service Relic
Carlos Light
Wow, we've found the air force figurine! The Security Service once wanted to create a flight unit, but only this symbol remains from that idea.
-
Gas Attack
Kira Woodville
Mr. Black, we'd better not go forward, there's choking gas ahead! The attackers threw a gas grenade to neutralize the guards. There's another one over there, unexploded. Let's see its design.
-
Words on the Wall
Mr. Black
To storm the Security Service's temporary headquarters at the Post Office, the criminals must have a very significanst motive. We need to discover it! For starters, let's determine what kind of gang it is. Help me find their tracks, you're a pro at this.
It's not exactly what I was counting on, but this graffiti was definitely left by the attackers - impudent fools who want me to get out. We've been visited by the Resistance!
-
Bird Invasion
Mr. Black
There you are! The fog got completely out of hand and I need your help. Overnight, a bird nest materialized under my office's ceiling, can you imagine that? Life-sized, with birds and eggs. Help me take it off.
Hmm, if I didn't know what the fog is capable of, I'd think that this is a real nest. All right, you can move it to a tree. Let's observe what happens.
-
Water World
Rayden Storke
Don't tell Kira, but I dreamed about this fountain. In my dream, I wanted a drink, and then water came out of it. I poured it into an aquarium, and a fish appeared, just like in grandma's time. See if there's a fish in reality.
Grandma loved this aquarium betta fish. come to think of it, she loved a different one, because fish don't live this long and the aquarium has been empty for years. I don't understand...
-
Revivified Spring
Kira Woodville
We have a small incident here. Fortunately, it's a pleasant one: a drinking fountain started working at night, by itself. They say that it's because there's water in the spring again, and it's delicious. Do you hear the murmur? Follow it and you'll find the fountain.
The fountain hasn't worked for many years. It's unclear why the water's flowing again. Perhaps there's some kind or rock displacement going on... We need to check.
-
Flowers from the Dream
Rayden Storke
In my dream, I watered my grandma's favorite violet. It perished long ago, of course, but I saw the flowering violet as if in reality. Like the one over there... Hold on, I need to take a closer look. Bring it.
This is definitely grandma's violet, the way it once was. I wanted to ask what dreams of flowers represent, but now I want to know how they're embodied from dreams.
-
Unbreakable Bond
Mr. Black
I'll punish the lamplighter that took you out on duty. It's better for Sophia to look for the City's relics during the day in order to get inspired for a new song. All right, you can look at the pigeon bird bath, you're near it anyway, but afterwards you must return home immediately!
-
Spark of Hope
Sophia
Dearie, I want to draw inspiration from the relics that hold the City's glorious past so I can write a song and cheer up the citizens with the music. This memorial lamp probably symbolizes something, let's examine it!
The memorial lamp we found is a symbol of the struggle agains the fog. It was installed by the Collector so that the light of hope would never die in the people's hearts.
-
Perfect Composition
Sophia
Ah, I had to put a ton of makeup on to hide my lack of sleep. We need the maestro's concert attributes to be waiting near the grand piano for when he appears to play for us. Help me polish his concert shoes!
The concert shoes shine like new! The maestro used to say that dirty shoes, just like an awkwardly played note, could spoil a whole composition.
-
Embodied Wish
Rayden Storke
I don't know at what point I fell asleep. I remember holding the silhouette portrait of my grandmother. That was already part of the dream, because, in reality, there's no such portrait, but I always wanted to have one as a memento. It was in a frame or rubies - grandma loved these gemstones. In my dream, I put the portrait over there. There's something lying on the sport, could you pass it to me?
That's the portrait that I dreamed about! But how could this happen? Perhaps, it's the fog... They say it embodies memories. Maybe dreams as well?
-
Vivifying Air
Mr. Black
Normally, it's easy to send a capsule, but now the pneumatic tube that leads to the Security Service is blocked by the fog. It's fine though - our guys had air tanks to protect them from inhaling the fog. We have some around here, bring one.
It's believed that if you breathe the air from a tank, you can protect you memory from the fog. Let's clean out the pneumatic pipes with air, just in case.
-
Former Glory
Sophia
The ghostly maestro's concert attributes will sit and wait for him so that he can return and play, just like the days of his former glory. Set his carved music stand on the grand piano!
Dearie, thanks for installing this carved music stand on the grand piano! In the dream about the sad maestro, I saw exactly the same one.
-
Superstitious Gallantry
Rayden Storke
The maestro's ghost it too well-mannered to go on stage without an invitation. But if he sees his concert items, he'll understand that we're waiting for his appearance. I'll put his lucky bow tie on the grand piano. Here it is, look!
The lucky bow tie you hold in your hands was an indispensable element of the maestro's concert costume. Besides, he lookded very elegant in it.
-
The Finest Creations
Sophia
Dearie, in my dream, the maestro was clearly missing his performances. I'll lay out his concert attributes near the grand piano so that he can come back and play like he used to. But I just can't find his sheet music compilation. Help me find it!
I turned the whole place upside down looking for the sheet music compilation, and you just found it! It stores some of the best musical compositions of the maestro.
-
Spectacular Entrance
Sophia
Dearie, in my dream the maestro's ghost was sad. I think he misses the stage and regrets that his time has passed. I want to put the maestro's concert items near the grand piano - what if he comes to play, oike in the old days? In my dream, he was sitting on a luxurious piano bench. Let's find it!
Dearie, you found the piano bench! The maestro would go on stage, adjust the bottom of his tailcoat with a flourish, sit on the piano bench and immerse himself in improvisation.
-
The First Flights
Rayden Storke
My childhood treasures are returning to the family box. Carousel tickets were another memorable thing - I've always loved the feeling of flying, and my grandma would often take me on rides. Find the old tickets.
Well done, these are my precious childhood tickets! I don't know what I'd do without you! My box is full once again, and I feel like a really rich man.
-
Letter of the Law
Mr. Black
Whatever the grumblers say, we returned order to the streets of the City. Bring the code of laws established by the Security Service. We also use it to decipher the messages that our people send through the fog.
The code of laws is also used as a key book. Every member of the Security Service has one. The message from my colleagues will be encrypted.
-
Twisting and Twirling
Rayden Storke
Grandma knew a million stories and taught me some interesting things: how to whistle loudly and do yo-yo tricks. This old toy was in the box; look around, maybe it's lying somewhere nearby.
Carlos says that yo-yos work on the principle of Maxwell's pendulum and gyroscope. I wonder what grandma would have said about it.
-
Taste of Childhood
Rayden Storke
Grandma used to make wonderful herbal teas and pastilles. To remember her, I've kept a tin of these candies in my box. I hope they haven't crumbled. Let's look for these sweet pastilles.
Phew, the tin of sweet pastilles is still intact. I'll put it back into my family box. I wish I knew why someone rummaged through my things.
-
Unique Signal
Mr. Black
My colleagues are quite resourceful - I'm sure they will send us the information before long. When we imposed a curfew in the City for security reasons, we invented a unique signal device. Find it.
We equipped all the clocks in the City with such a signal element so that none of the citizens would forget about the curfew.
-
Sixth Sense
Mr. Black
The former Defenders joined the ranks of our Security Service. These people can't just go missing in the fog. The personnel were selected by special criteria. Look for a sign confirming this.
The sign of intuition you're holding confirms my point. The Security Service peronnel have special qualities, including heightened intuition.
-
Monster Slayers
Mr. Black
Why do you think I believe that the Security Service staff survived the fog? Because I know what kind of people are in our ranks! The Security Service succeeded the Order of the Defenders, whose members defeated the monsters that came out of the fog. Take a look at their emblem, it speaks volumes.
Yes, this is it - the proud emblem of the Order of the Defenders. The brave guys from the Order dealt with the monsters. Then the Order fell aprt, but the Security Service was formed instead.
-
Box with a Secret
Rayden Storke
Let's research the legend of the mailman to the end. There was an archive in the Post Office, where my grandmother worked. Now the post office is in chaos, but try to find the archive box with the same numbe as on the plate from the monument.
If you managed to retrieve a box from this pile of junk, the City definitely helped you! The number matches, but the box is rather light! It's alright, valuables don't have to be heavy.
-
Air Fleet
Mr. Black
The mailman passed across the Rift, and they erected a monument to him? Nonsense! Why climb across the gorge with valuable items when airships were crusing around the City at that time? They even depicted them on postage stamps. Find one.
You see, mail and goods used to be delivered on airships. Your investigation has reached a dead end, and you haven't found anything of value, admit it.
-
Conquering the Rift

Grandma said that the legendary mailman delivered an important letter from the Lower City to the Upper City by passing across the Rift. Maybe he delivered the valuable goods? He obviously needed climbing equipment. Did you find any?
This rope with carabiner clips is very old but still strong. I thought the legend about the mailman was just a fairy tale, but now it seems that it could lead us to the valuable goods after all.

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.

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?

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.

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.
-
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.
-
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?
-
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!
