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.

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
Rayden Storke
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!
-
The Last Card
Mr. Black
Sophia's fans spoiled her. She didn't even bother to open some gifts. The singer might not have noticed a potential threat. See, there's a card sticking out of this caged bouquet? Let's get it out!
My hand can't get through the bars of the cage containing flowers to get the giver's card. We'll have to break the lock or cut it off!
-
Hilarious Souvenir
Rayden Storke
Sophia's unapproachability drives some of her fans crazy. She told me that she was once scared by a clown that jumped out of a gift box at her. Let's look for the enclosed note where Sophia dropped the souvenir!
You found the jack-in-the-box. It seems that there's a note inside, let's open the box! This toy's giggle is no creepy! The note is unreadable, too.
-
In Your Element
Mr. Black
Sophia received many ambiguous gifts from the Cabaret's visitors. Recently, she was presented with a small fish in a bowl - that's clearly a hint that she needs to stay silent like a fish, right? Let's read the note!
I think the fish is uncomfortable in this bowl, it's way too small. The note says: "I wish you to take to the stage as a fish takes to water!" Hmm, so it's an innocent gift after all.
-
Rude Message
Sophia
My fans give me gifts addressing me personally in their cards, hoping that I'll read them and answer. But some leave messages on the gifts themselves - just like on that suitcase. I don't remember what's wirtten there, let's see!
"Get out of the city." Humph, how rude! It's written all over the suitcase. But the giver's handwriting doesn't resemble that of the author of the terrible note found in the fog.
-
Spines for the Idol
Mr. Black
Sophia is sure that she can identify the author of the threat by his handwriting - he7s already sent her gifts with greeting cards. Pfft, stars are used to accepting gifts from fans while remaining indifferent to them. Amongst the bouquets sent to Sophia, I noticed a poisonous cactus. Let's go and read the card that came with it!
Be careful, don't get pricked by the cactus's spines! Sophia said that the gift and the enclosed card weren'T a hidden threat. She knows the giver personally and assures us that he's just a sweet crank.
-
On the Right Track
Rayden Storke
I've known Mr. Black for a long time, he's only every believed in facts. I once was in Sophia's dressing room and noticed that the whole place was literally covered with powder. Let's go take a look: I'm sure the uninvited guest left some traces there.
Look, the small woman's footprints on the carpet belong to Sophia, and these man's boot marks were clearly left by the uninvited guest.
-
Pearls of the Investigation
Sophia
Ah, Blackie is just unbrearable, he still considers me a liar! I would've told him everything, but, alas, my head is foggy, and my neck hurts. Oh no, my necklace is gone! Please find it!
You found my necklace; it's a shame it's broken and missing some beads... You don't think that I deliberately tore such an expensive piece of jewelry, do you?
-
Spoiled Accessory
Rayden Storke
Mr. Black demands stronger evidence of the attack on Sophia. I'm a regular at the Cabaret and I know that she usually wears a feather headband with this dress, but not today. Let's find this accessory!
You don't miss a single clue - you found the headband! Look, some feathers have been torn out, and the jewelry's bent. I'm sure it happened during the attack.
-
Sense of Anxiety
Sophia
Dearie, help me prove my innocence to Black. When I heard a noise, I got scared and barricaded the door with a chair. But it didn't help! The door was knocked down, and the overturned chair is still lying in the middle of the hall. Take a look!
You've made sure now? This overturned chair's been lying here all night. I look at it and a feeling of anxiety arises within me. Ah, I still fear for my life!
-
Nighttime Housebreak
Rayden Storke
I believe Sophia. Something really happened in the Cabaret - I noticed signs of a struggle. Let's try to restore the series of events and discover whether the singer or the suspects in the crystals' case are connected to this. It's known that at night the Cabaret is locked from the inside. I noticed a torn-off doorknob in the hall, let's find and study it!
You found the torn-off doorknob, and this evidence confirms that there's been a forced entry into the Cabaret.

Shooting Star
Rayden Storke
It seems that the concert's been canceled, this favors us. While Mr. Black's talking his way into meeting Sophia, let's go over there and take a table by the stage. Black ordered us not to do anything without his instructions.
Everyone dispersed, leaving their drinks unfinished, and someone even forgot their hat. Bright lights illuminate the stage, but, apparently, Sophia won't walk up to the microphone today. What happened here?

Following the Conductor
Detective
Who is hidden behind the mysterious initials M.S.? I'm sure the Conductor will know. He knows everyone in this damned City, but he won't be easy to find in the fog covering the Station of Forgotten Dreams! Can you make anything out through this haze?
Yes! The flashlight is in great condition. It will work even against the thick fog that shrouds the Station.

Crouching Tiger
Detective
If only we had the Emperor's Talisman! It's the eve of the Chinese New Year, so we could make a wish and find out what happened at the Palace. There are drawings of animals on the Emperor's scroll. Maybe they're connected to the Talisman? We should look for broken pieces with the same images in the hall. Did you come across something with, say, the image of a White Tiger?

Charger for the Robot
Kira Woodville
The inventor worked on the creation of something unimaginable, and in his workings he constantly used a Bolometer. In his papers, this device is repeatedly mentioned. But what does it look like? I have to include this into my report!
Is this a Bolometer? Are you sure? I wouldn't have thought so. Just imagine: this thing can pick up energy rays from space... I don't know exactly how it works though.

Day Trip
Detective
To restore the Samhain Clock, we need to get the final part - the piece that shows today's time. Find it, and we can finally summon the Halloween Spirit. Hurry, we have just enough time!
Yes, this is what we need! It looks like an ordinary Clock Dial. The hour and minute hands indicate the time of day. On the right day, when the position of the hands coincides with the time of the call to the Halloween spirit, the Clock sends a signal to Jack.

Monday Begins Today
Juliette
We must find the silver Earth Hand. I will gladly help you. After Dracula's bite, I prefer to keep in contact with objects that guard against vampires. Silver, aspen, salt... Find the Earth Hand to restore the Shamhain Clock.
The silver Earth Hand must be set on the Week Star according to the day that corresponds to Halloween. This year it's Monday.

Seven Shining Rays
Isabelle
The seven-pointed Week Star is another piece of the Samhain Clock, which summons the Halloween Spirit. It's also called the Magicians' Star or Alchemists' Star. Find the Week Star and I'll show you how it works.
See, each of the star's rays corresponds to a day of the week and the planet that it protects. This piece, like the minute hand on normal clocks, tells the time indicated on the Year Wheel.

Samhain's Time
Cardsharp
Sir, to restore the Samhain Clock we need to find the Sun Hand. I'm certain it will be made of gold. Only this precious metal fully reflects the grandeur of the celestial body. Find it.
A-ha! The Sun Hand you found is truly golden. Were there extra little rays nearby? No? Too bad... Oh well, just set the Sun Hand to the time corresponding to Halloween on the Year Wheel.

Omnipresent Glow
Huntress
It's extremely difficult to defeat a vampire, particularly Dracula. These beings possess supernatural powers. But I know the weapon that a vampire cannot escape. A Solar Bomb! Find it and you will behold all of its power.
The daylight emitted by this Solar Bomb is absolutely safe for humans, but fatal to vampires. Dracula will not escape it!

Tricky Knots
Cardsharp
Dracula is very dangerous. He has the speed of lightning, the force of a hurricane, and the hardness of a rock. Ordinary shields or armour will not protect you. You need to get the Enchanted Shield with the magical script.
-
Lightning Strike
Isabelle
Dracula is an experienced and stron fighter. Ordinary swords or spears won't affect him. I know of a more powerful weapon. Bring the Double Vajra, and I'll teach you how to use it.
Great, you were able to find the Double Vajra! This is the Warriors of Light's weapon in the fight against demons. It has the combined properties of a sword, club and spears. The Vajra gives you strength and toughness of spirit. You will be opposed by the vampire's might! Go for it!

Roll with the Punches!

During the duel, you can't forget about defence. Especially in a duel with a dangerous opponent like Dracula. Bring the Crusader's Gloves. The corsses depicted on them will protect you agains the vampire's strikes.
Gloves with crosses on are a reliable and proven instrument in the fight agains vampires. I'm glad that you were able to find them. You'll now be able to take on Dracula's strike!

Soaring Blade
Huntress
A duel with Dracula is a serious test and the stakes are very high. The loser loses everything. Can you imagine a world where Dracula is the Halloween Spirit, and all of us are his servants? When Dracula proposed a duel, he had devised some kind of trick. We can't use the traditional silver bullets, holy water and a wooden stake. Have you figured out why? By killing Dracula, we kill the Detective. So we must think of something completely different to defeat Dracula. You've heard about the Chakra, right? Then find it. It's a very effective weapon.
Look, the Chakra is made in the form of a yin-yang. It will improve your chances in the fight. We know that it keeps the balance of good and evil forces. Plus, the Chakra has a very sharp blade.

Siver Strike
Huntress
Vampires can't stand silver at all. This metal will help us destroy the vampire spirit within Juliette. Bring the silver Claw Ring and get a move on, you need to hurry.
Great! Juliette's vampire essence will surely love the aggressive shape of this Claw Ring. Let's hope she doesn't immediately notice the silver metal.
-
Protective Aroma
Valerie
I remembered that vampires can't stand verbena, but Juliette loves perfume. Bring Perfume with Verbena. Even if she smells it just once, her transformation into a vampire will be stopped.
Perfume with Verbena has such a dlicate and fresh aroma... Mmm... And it's good that it's red. It will attract Juliette's vampire essence, and she won't immediately notice the scent of verbena.
-
Rescue and Keep
Conductor
The Bride of Dracula's spirit is changing Juliette. We need to stop the transformation as soon as possible so the poor girl doesn't turn into a vampire for good! Look for something adorned with crosses. Vampires fear them like fire.
What a beautiful belt! I think Juliette will like it. And the crucifix camouflaged in its pattern will help save her from Dracula's influence.
-
Wooden Guardian
Isabelle
What else don't vampires like? I know! Bring the Aspen Comb. This wood will help weaken Dracula's influence and Juliette will once again be herself!
What a beautiful Aspen Comb. I wouldn't refuse such an adornment. But Juliette needs it more. I hope the aspen helps her overcome the vampire's essence.

Drops of Sun
Martha
Juliette is going to Dracula as if she's hypnotised. If he gets Juliette and the Steward's Pendant, then he'll hold his masquerade ball and bathe the City of Shadows in blood! Hurry, we need to free Juliette from the grip of the Bride of Dracula's spirit! Let's put together some adornments for her with charms that repel vampires. Look for Earrings with Amber, a sunny stone that absorbs daylight.
You found the Earrings with Amber. Juliette will certainly want to try on such unique jewellery, and the sunny stone will protect her from Dracula's influence.
-
Flip Side of the Masquerade
Juliette
As the Detective said, we need to finish the Halloween decorations and hang these lanterns. Somewhere around here you can find a Spider Doll. Catch it and let it hang the lanterns and decorations on the trees around the fountain.
What did the Spider Doll tell you? She saw the Dracula-Detective cut his hand and collect blood in the glasses we drank from? That means we drank his blood?.. That's terrible! What about him? You're saying that under the guise of Dracula it's not the Detective, but the real Count Dracula? But what happened to the Detective?

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

Don't Stand in the Way
Alex
Jack's realm is home to many strange creatures, such as the Golden Spirit. I noticed it by a tomb, but it was faint, like smoke, and it hid its face under a veil. Go to the Golden Spirit and ask it what it knows about the actions of the Detective dressed as Dracula.
The Golden Spirit says the Detective, dressed as Dracula, returned from Jack's Castle with some kind of parcel in his hands. And that was the last thing the Golden Spirit saw. The Detective blinded him, but no human can do such a thing! Is it possible that a completely different entity is now in the Detective's body?
-
Capturing of Essence
Valerie
you asked the spirits dwelling in the realm of the Halloween Spirit, right? I saw a little demon here. He looked entirely friendly. Maybe this is another withness to the events of how the Detective found himself in the guise of Dracula? Find it.
The Little Demon saw how the Detective, sitting by the Fountain of Souls, scooped up the forbidden water and fell down motionless. Then, when the sun went down, he stood up and went to Jack's Castle. The strangest thing is that the stone guardian let him pass. And also, when the Detective woke up, he already looked like Dracula.

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

Spring's Home
Isabelle
After the gray streets of the City, I want to stay among these bloosoming flowerbeds that line the Mansion's walls. For some reason spring only came to this Mansion, from which a heartfelt invitation with the promise of Easter treats was sent. Is it a spring miracle or a sophisticated trap? Let's go inside and find out.
The Mansion is even more beautiful inside! Huge windows, staircases and columns made of carved white marble, ornate furniture... I don't feel any threat. And in the most prominent place is - wow! The sapling of the Tree of Life.
