Portrait of the Enemy
Detective
I’m sure the blacked out name belongs to the Doctor’s enemy. They managed to avoid the pack’s revenge, but they still made it into the reports. I think that to wipe their name from the records, they had to make a donation to the City’s fund. Let’s find portraits of patrons from that time.
Don’t be surprised that the portraits of patrons here are set in frames in the form of a tree. This is the Mayor’s idea. Let’s see who’s here. I don’t know these two ladies, but I recognize the Mistress of the Manor! Hmm, one of them was sitting in the carriage back then. We’ve almost found the Doctor’s sworn enemy.
-
Words Have Consequences
Detective
The archival documents say that after the mayhem at City Hall, werewolves attacked a passing carriage. No one was hurt, but a carriage lantern was damaged. Let’s examine it. Maybe it belonged to the Were-Doctor’s enemy?
According to a witness, the lantern you’re holding was torn from the carriage by a single swing of the werewolf leader’s huge paw. The passenger got out of the carriage and, after exchanging a few words with the leader, drove on. The owner’s name in the testimony is blacked out...
-
Fragments of the Past
Detective
Let’s continue to search for whoever the Were-Doctor decided to take revenge on. The case of the City Hall attack says that during the investigation of the crime scene, a lot of smoldering scraps of paper were found in a coal scuttle. It’s not possible to collect them all, but let’s try to study what we have!
You managed to collect all the scraps from the coal scuttle? These aren’t just scraps but a photo with a signature on the back. It’s a shame I can’t make out the text and don’t know the people in the photo. And there isn’t such a large port in the City. Do you think a ship owner turned the Doctor over to the Cult?
-
Claw Marks in the Archive
Detective
If the Doctor was planning revenge, why did he go to City Hall to steal documents and not just send his pack to his betrayer? Let’s find out what he was looking for. That shelf over there is ravaged by werewolf claws too. Let’s find the archive ladder to inspect the section.
Thank you for getting this archive ladder. It looks like it was damaged by the psy-werewolves too. Look, there’s a piece of a document stuck next to the claw marks on the step. Hmm... I’ll try to make out what’s written on it.
-
Uninvited Guests
Detective
We can’t miss a single case of psy-werewolf attacks if we want to find out who the Doctor wanted to take revenge on. Aha, file 747 says that psy-werewolves broke into City Hall and stole some papers. A front door knocker is involved in the case. Let’s examine it.
Hmm, this door knocker is our first piece of evidence. The claw marks on the wood belong to a very large werewolf. Is it the pack leader? I compared the claw marks to the Doctor’s costume that he used to turn into a werewolf. It’s very possible that it was him who did it.
-
Hunter in Prey’s Clothing
Martha
You’ve collected all the parts of the costume the Doctor wore around his pack of psy-werewolves as their leader. I feel that it’s not just about a quality costume. It also radiates magical energy. Bring me some artifacts. They’ll help me check it.
The artifacts’ energy permeates the parts of the costume, tying all of its elements together with the belt. I see the Doctor dressing up as a wolf and transforming into a real beast! He didn’t just pretend to be a monster in front of his pack of psy-werewolves... He actually became one!
-
An Important Accessory
Detective
I heard a legend once. I don’t remember the details, but it involved a belt that you could use to turn yourself into an animal by wearing it. Who knows, maybe the Doctor has such an accessory for the pack leader’s camouflage costume. Let’s look for it.
I can’t believe it, buddy! You managed to find the belt from the psy-werewolf costume the Doctor wore to pass himself off as their pack leader. Maybe it’s magical too, like in that old legend I remembered.
-
Artifact of Devotion
Detective
I wonder if the Huntress has ever seen a werewolf with a bag. I haven’t. But that bag over there looks like part of the Doctor’s werewolf disguise for becoming the psy-pack leader. Let’s examine it. My instincts never fail me.
The bag is made from the same fur as the rest of the Doctor’s disguise. Well, well, if it isn’t wulfenite inside. It’s an artifact that werewolves bring as a sign of devotion to their true leader. I swear on my badge, the Doctor wouldn’t have gotten it himself!
-
Wolf in the Hood
Detective
I think that with the help of a realistic camouflage costume, the Doctor tried to pass himself off as one of the werewolves. I’m sure that the main element of his wolf look was the monster’s head. Let’s find this important part of the costume!
Buddy, you found a huge wolf hood! Look at how big it is. It’ll easily cover three of my heads. Of course! The leader must be the largest in the pack! That’s why the werewolf costume that the Doctor wore in front of his subordinate monsters is so big!
-
Power and Status
Detective
Buddy, we’ve confirmed the theory about the Doctor’s disguise, but I don’t believe monsters are that easy to fool. There’s definitely something about the Doctor’s costume that identifies his strength as the pack leader. For example, an accessory that would always be in full view of the werewolf pack. Let’s look for it.
Yes, this collar adorned with amulets of the moon’s phases is clearly part of the costume. Werewolves honor and worship the moon, as it gives them power and the ability to transform. Only the pack leader is worthy of wearing such a thing. How do I know this? I used to be a werewolf myself!
-
A Wolf-Like Disguise
Detective
If the Doctor created psy-werewolves to form a pack, then the only way he could have won their absolute loyalty was by proving that he was one of them.\n What would I do in his place...? I would disguise myself! Let’s test this theory and look for parts of a wolf costume.
These clawed gloves are clearly part of the Doctor’s wolf disguise. They look terrifying and quite realistic, as if made from real werewolf skin. They smell foul too, just like a monster. Did the Doctor really wear them?
-
The Spell of Domination
Martha
I discovered that each seal is a piece of a magical spell. The Doctor was a scientist, so I have no clue why he would turn to magic. Maybe he was forced into it? I’ll try to determine what spell was cast on the werewolves. Just lend me some artifacts for the ritual!
The energy of artifacts has wrapped around the seal of submission, the seal of bound will, and the rest, forming a psy-symbol. It’s able to subdue powerful creatures by subjugating their will and mind to whoever cast the spell. All psy-werewolves of the City obey the Doctor as their pack leader!
-
The Thought Thief
Detective
Buddy, I found a gnawed page from the diary of the Doctor who branded psy-werewolves. There’s a seal of telepathy on it similar to the seals we’ve collected as evidence. I suggest we start looking for it right now!
You managed to find the seal of telepathy without my help. One can guess that the Doctor branded psy-werewolves with it to hear their thoughts. I wonder from what distance the scientist can read what the monsters are thinking.
-
Stamp of Return
Isabelle
I told Martha that I’d seen a psy-werewolf come to the place where the Doctor once conducted his experiments. I didn’t notice any brand on it, but Martha assumed that the monster was marked with the seal of pathfinding. Let’s try to find the seal, and I’ll tell you about its properties.
Yes, this is the seal of pathfinding! This mark causes a werewolf to go to a certain place against its will. Wherever the werewolf roams, the seal draws it to the brander. Maybe the Doctor is still around somewhere and the werewolf came to him?
-
A Strong Knot
Isabelle
The Doctor managed to brand the psy-werewolves with various magical symbols. The desire for freedom dies forever under the seal of bound will. Such a mark is often found on psy-werewolves. Let’s find the seal.
You’re holding the seal of bound will. See the knot on it? This is a symbol of submission. Anyone with this brand will meekly follow any instructions from his master. Surely the Doctor used it to brand werewolves with the strongest will.
-
Overwhelming Variety
Isabelle
I asked the Huntress about the other markings she has seen on psy-werewolves. It turns out that there are a lot of them. According to her description, the next seal looks like a crescent moon resting on a pentagram. This is the seal of magical sense. I’ll help you find it.
It’s good that you found the seal of magical sense before dusk. The seal allowed members of a magical clan to use each other’s abilities. So, the Doctor must have the same brand, or someone else who could have ordered the monsters to be created.
-
Absolute Power
Martha
The Huntress said that sometimes she encounters psy-werewolves branded with a mark. I found the mark that the Huntress described to me in the Book of Magical Seals. It’s a symbol of submission. If the Doctor placed it, we’ll find the seal among his things. Can you help?
The Detective found the Doctor’s fingerprints on the seal of submission you brought. This means we were right to assume that the scientist branded psy-werewolves in order to completely bend the creatures to his will. But is there a third interested party in this story?
-
A Magical Invention
Martha
So, these elements should combine into a device that protects a person from psy-werewolves’ magic? Well, I’ll try to find out if the Doctor’s invention works. Bring me some artifacts to restore the energy connection between all the parts!
The energy of the City’s artifacts permeates the hypnotic goggles and the mirror reflector and holds all the parts together. The elements have combined into a helmet. I sense that every attempt by the werewolves to attack the wearer of this device would hurt them too!
-
Science and Magic
Professor
No purely mechanical device has been capable of protecting people from magic. The only device that can capture weak magical emanations is the Faraday grid. I’m sure the Doctor would never have been able to create a protective device against psy-effects without it.
Great, you have the Faraday grid. The Doctor upgraded it to create a protective device against werewolves! Genius and madness are the two extremes that led the Doctor in his work to create protection against psy-werewolves’ influence.
-
Hypnotic Howling
Isabelle
I remembered another important detail. The howl of psy-werewolves is as hypnotic as their eyes. If the Doctor came up with the goggles, then there should be special ultrasonic headphones. Let’s find them.
You found the ultrasonic headphones so quickly! Let me take them apart and see if they work. Incredibly, these headphones actually pick up and neutralize the terrible howl of psy-werewolves!
-
A Mind Shield
Professor
I re-examined the items you found and noticed that something that was previously attached is missing from the top of the metal frame. It’s probably a part for external reflection of psy-impacts. A mirror, maybe? Look for the missing element.
The mirror reflector you have is perfect for the frame you found earlier! I conducted several experiments and concluded that it can be used to reflect a magical psy-effect. But still, the reflector isn’t effective against several werewolves at one time.
-
Mesmerizing Lenses
Detective
So the Doctor developed a protective device in the form of a helmet, and we only have one part. A werewolf affects the psyche by looking at you, right? The Doctor knew this for sure. Let’s look for something resembling goggles among the scientist’s inventions!
You managed to find hypnotic goggles? Their lenses are so mesmerizing. You think the best defense against a psy-werewolf is a good offense? But it still takes some skill to hypnotize the monster first.
-
Correct Thinking
Isabelle
Psy-werewolves are unusual monsters. They can’t be defeated by force, and they have psy-magic that allows them to penetrate your mind and control your thoughts. If I were making a protective device against it, I would take a strong metal frame that protects my head as its foundation. Let’s find something like that.
Did you find a metal frame among the Doctor’s belongings? So my thinking is correct! The frame resembles part of a helmet. I’m sure it’s part of a protective device the Doctor designed to protect himself from the psy-werewolves’ influence.
-
Purpose of the Research
Martha
Negative energy emanates from the Doctor’s tools you brought. I can determine what purpose he pursued in his macabre research. I’ll cast my gaze into the past and try to penetrate the Doctor’s thoughts. I’ll need some artifacts to do this. Bring me some.
In the glow of the artifacts, I see the Doctor move away from the operating table in horror. The werewolf roars furiously, and this roar makes the Doctor writhe in pain. The werewolf subjugated its own creator to its will, but it’s too weak to take revenge on him.
-
Back from Darkness
Huntress
The Doctor’s notes are making me uneasy. His diary says that in order to complete the experiment, he needed to put the werewolf in a dying state and quickly reanimate it. That’s not possible without the appropriate equipment. Look for it.
This powerful defibrillator has enough discharge to revive a mummy! The Doctor used it to bring back to life those werewolves whose hearts stopped on his operating table. It’s pretty worn out and looks like it’s been used a lot.
-
A Toothy Grip
Professor
The Detective provided me with some clues in the Doctor’s case so I can study them and suggest what other experiments he performed on the werewolf. Look at how many different molds of jaws are here. Examine one of them more closely!
In this model of a werewolf’s jaw, some of the teeth were replaced by metal ones... Each of them has a microscopic sensor capable of sending a remote signal to the brain. I think the Doctor was looking for a way to control the monster.
-
Study Methods
Detective
Werewolves are our enemies, of course, but I find it wrong to perform experiments on them. In his notes, the Doctor wrote about trying to get into the monsters’ heads during his experiments. I wonder if he meant this literally. Let’s look for some evidence to clarify that.
Buddy, this cranial saw is the tool of a true maniac! Apparently, the Doctor was trying to study a werewolf’s brain directly rather than by psychological methods. This scientist’s experiments are looking more and more disturbing with each new piece of evidence.
-
A Special Tool
Professor
If you want to know what kind of experiments your Doctor has done on werewolves, take a close look at his tools. If there are surgical instruments among them, then his experiments could have been related to physically modifying monsters. Find out if he had scalpels!
You found the Doctor’s obsidian scalpels? These tools are stronger than regular scalpels, as werewolf skin is incredibly thick. I don’t think the Doctor was just studying the body structure of these creatures. There’s plenty of information about that in monstrology textbooks.
-
Taming the Monster
Huntress
Mein Freund, we learned earlier that the Doctor caught a werewolf for his experiment. What was the purpose of his research? It’s difficult to subdue a monster when it’s trapped. How did the Doctor manage to put the monster to sleep? I want to examine his anesthesia apparatus. Can you find it?
Looks like you actually found the anesthesia apparatus the Doctor used to put the werewolf to sleep. Look at how big it is. I also found some werewolf fur inside. It smells like sleepy smoke... The Doctor used a magic drug as anesthesia!
-
An Old Case
Detective
Let’s revive the old case! If my assumptions are correct and the monster-obsessed Doctor’s research has something to do with creating psy-werewolves, we’ll learn all the details soon enough. I’ll create a new section in the Investigation Diary.
-
Ghosts of Dusk
Vera
I’m pretty sure that the pearl Lucas woke up with is a dream come true. Perhaps this is the dream of my brother, who suffered from nightmares. I want to test the pearl one last time after configuring the mental vessel. Can you bring me my tools?
I’ve reconfigured the mental vessel to read the images that come to the pearl creator’s mind and I peer into their dream. I see a girl and hear a violin’s woeful cry. There’s also a strange house with windows shining red. And a black fog gathering around it!
-
Composed of Pure Thought
Vera
The pearl that appeared in Lucas’s hand resembles a materialized thought, but whose? My brother wasn’t able to think clearly while dreaming. Maybe someone wanted to send nightmares to him, and this plan turned into the pearl? A mental vessel will help us find out. Please find it!
The Pawnbroker lent me the mental vessel you found. This tool reads all aspects of thoughts in detail: images, sounds, and smells. I put the pearl into the vessel, but I see only faint images... and I can’t smell anything! This only happens in dreams!
-
The Ghost of Eureka
Kira Woodville
The mystery of the pearl that appeared in Lucas’s hand when he woke up troubles me. We found out that it emits the same vibrations as whale songs. I showed our work to the science department, and they told me something interesting. Please hand me that thought sample over there.
Thank you for handing me the sample. The scientists said that songs of celestial whales sometimes embody images from people’s thoughts. This sample emerged from the joy that a scientist felt when he made a discovery, and the pearl emits similar vibrations! Maybe it was born from a thought as well?
-
Hidden from Sight
Kira Woodville
We need to find out if the pearl is connected to Lucas’s nightmares and how it ended up in his hand this morning. It doesn’t have a physical form, but what about sound? We may not be hearing something important. Let’s check the pearl with sensitive threads. Can you find them?
These threads are made for the Security Service from the silk of glassworms that use their hearing to hunt in the dark. Using these threads, I got a diagram of sound vibrations. It matches the song of the celestial whales! Remember the day they appeared over the City?!
-
Gaze of the Heavens
Vera
I have to make sense of Lucas’s nightmares. If this requires studying the pearl that appeared in his hand in the morning, then I’ll use all my knowledge. The sample of the pearl crumbled, which means we need to study it in its entirety. Can you help me find a lunar emitter?
Thanks for finding the lunar emitter. This device creates a beam of light comparable in power to the moon. I tried to shine the light through the pearl, but I saw a strange thing: the light doesn’t refract on it, as if the pearl is immaterial. Even though we’re holding it in our hands!
-
Thorns of an Ancient Sea
Kira Woodville
The story about Lucas waking up after a nightmare with a pearl in his hand disturbs me. He’s sensitive to energies and used to create real things out of the fog, but the pearl isn’t like them. Let’s take a scraping for analysis. Can you find my spiny brush?
The spiny brush you brought is amazing! Instead of bristles, it has the shed spines of sea urchins that live in underground waters. You won’t find anything sharper. I easily scraped off a sample from the pearl, but it immediately crumbled into nothing... How is this possible?
-
The Creator’s Reflection
Sophia
Dearie, thanks to you and Augustine, I have the whale zither in my hands. It’s time for me to confess something, because music doesn’t tolerate lies. I want to record a special song not just for the townspeople. Please bring me some tools and play with me. Then I’ll tell you everything.
As I sing, my fingers dance on the strings of the whale zither, reflecting my feelings: love, resentment, sadness, delight... I’ll write down the lyrics and notes of the song and put them in a bottle of sleepy sand. Now this song will reach not only my listeners but also... my father.
-
Creating a Melody
Augustine Capuchin
Sophia can’t wait to perform her new song to the sound of the whale zither, but first the instrument needs to be tested. I’ll prepare it myself, as all projectionists know how to work with their hands. Please bring our zither. It’s time to finally hear its sound!
I can’t believe it... The sound of this whale zither brought tears to my eyes. This is an amazing instrument! As soon as Sophia touched the strings, she awakened in me feelings as sharp and strong as childhood memories. What will her precious song sound like?
-
Music of the Spheres
Sophia
Making a special musical instrument is a challenge, so we need to do everything perfectly! I decided to make a zither from the strings of whale songs and the foggy rosewood. But to tune it, we need a special lunar tuning fork. Please find it!
A thousand thanks! I wouldn’t have gotten the lunar tuning fork without you! As celestial creatures, whales subtly feel the phases of the moon and change their songs to match them. With this tuning fork, I can switch the phase the zither is tuned to and control its sound!
-
Foggy Wood
Sophia
My dream to create an instrument from whale sounds and record a special song is getting closer and closer. We already have the right strings. But what material to make the body from...? I think I know! Please get me some foggy rosewood and I’ll tell you about it!
Oh dearie, you really found some foggy rosewood! It’s found only in very densely fogged neighborhoods. The fog there nearly turns wood into glass and amplifies any sound. This rosewood will make for the best instrument for my song!
-
Locked Sounds
Augustine Capuchin
Sophia’s desire to create an instrument from whale songs in order to write her own song amazed me, so I want to help. We used a special vessel to get the material basis for the instrument through sounds. Please bring me what formed inside it!
Did you take these delightful singing seashells out of our vessel? Just look, there are strings going through them. Sophia says that each of them plays in a special key. With such strings and the right body, we can make a wonderful instrument!
-
Clouds Instead of Music Staff
Sophia
If we manage to create a musical instrument from the sounds made by celestial whales, the future song will be a sensation! To start with, we have to convert the sounds into a material form. I bought a special artifact, a resonating vessel, from Alford. Please bring it!
Thank you for taking good care of this vessel. The Antique Shop’s owner showed me that sounds inside this jug create a special resonance and become material. I cleaned the echoes of old melodies from the vessel. We can start working with it!
-
Margin of Safety
Lucas Light
The clinking that haunted me in my dream is made by a heel that broke off from a crystal shoe. Look, both shoes are lying over there, and one is missing a heel. I took special glue from Vera and will reattach the heel you found if you lend me some tools.
I tried very hard, and it turned out well. The shoes look like new. The heel holds firmly and you can’t see where it was glued. I feel like I guessed the wish of the lady from my recurring dream. Now I’ll be able to have other dreams.\n Oh, someone’s coming up the stairs... It’s her!
-
A Piece of the Secret
Lucas Light
We’re close to solving the mystery of my dream, and I’ll finally be able to get rid of the recurring vision. Judging by the sound, the young lady in it dropped something made from glass. It didn’t break but clinked beautifully. I don’t know what it is, but it’s most likely made of crystal. Let’s look around.
Something crystal, but what is it? Of course, it’s a shoe heel! Scavengers don’t wear that, but my mother used to wear high heels. The crystal shoe is fragile, so the heel came off it. Ah, I get it. The young lady wants to fix it so much that the dream keeps repeating itself!
-
Strong Glass
Lucas Light
I’m trying to remember things more clearly. When the lady drops the item in my recurring dream, I hear a melodic sound similar to the clink of glasses. It’s clinking, not the clattering of breaking glass. Can you find a glass that doesn’t break?
Wow, you managed to find unbreakable glass! Even though the glass seems so thin... Are you sure it won’t break if I drop it? Okay, I’ll try.\n Yes, the glass is still intact, and the sound is very similar to what I hear in my dream. But it’s still slightly different.
-
A Ray of Light
Lucas Light
I don’t want to have this recurring dream, even though it’s beautiful. I think the young lady in it is so eager to find what she lost that her desire has passed on to me. In my dream, she’s walking down a dark staircase and holding a small lantern in her hand. Have you found one here?
Thank you for helping me find this dainty lantern. It looks exactly like the one the young lady in my dream used to light up the stairs. But it has fragile parts. If she dropped it, they would definitely break. I won’t even try. It’s pretty clear that this lantern didn’t fall to the ground.
-
A Shining Trail
Lucas Light
I feel that in order for my dream to end and be replaced by another, we need to find the thing that the lady drops. I couldn’t see her face, but her skin seemed to glow. My sister Vera says that girls use powder and carry it with them. Maybe the lady dropped a powder box?
You’ve found a wonderful painted box. Is this shimmering face powder inside? I’ve just never seen it before, but I believe you. Try dropping the powder box and I’ll compare the sound. No, it’s different from what I hear in my dream. That means the lady is dropping something else.
-
A Clinking Accessory
Lucas Light
My dreams often intertwine with reality. If I dream that a lady dropped something on the steps of the tower, it probably happened for real. In the dream, the item falls with a melodic clinking sound. What could the young lady be dropping? An accessory, maybe? Let’s look around.
How did you manage to find this brooch with bells? You’re really talented! The brooch would go well with the lady’s outfit. But I checked it, and when it falls, it makes a sound different from the one in the dream that’s haunting me. We’ll have to continue our search.
-
Clear Evidence
Mr. Black
The fake trees, tickling tool, wiggling ears to make the werewolf seem alive, the camera and footage... It all fits: the Capuchins are secretly filming a movie featuring the monster! I’ve collected a tube with new posters from the printing house. Lend me some tools. I’ll carefully open it.
Be careful unfolding the poster. The ink isn’t dry yet, and I want to see all the details on it. It shows the werewolf from the tower and says, "Sensation! A movie featuring a real monster!". We found the secret visitor. It’s the Capuchins. But I’ll ruin the premiere for them!
-
Disturbing Frames
Mr. Black
The person who’s been coming to the tower is interested in the werewolf and was filming it. Perhaps they’re testing the sleeping monster’s reflexes. The thing is, the equipment we found doesn’t look like it’s designed for research. Maybe you’ve seen some kind of scientific records somewhere around here?
You found film frames? Since the monster was filmed, it’s quite logical. One of them shows the werewolf, and there’s a girl in a hooded cape in the other. She’s beautiful, like in the movies. And who deals with artistic footage if not the Capuchins, the filmmakers. I’ll interrogate them.
-
Insidious Surveillance
Mr. Black
Perhaps the secret visitor to the tower is just a lunatic who worships the werewolf. There’s a monster club in the City, didn’t you know? But they’re all under my supervision, and none of them came here. Wait, isn’t that a hidden camera over there in the corner?
Aha, I was right! That’s a cleverly hidden camera. I can tell that our intruder is watching the beast with the help of high-quality equipment. This greatly narrows the circle of suspects. But we’d better look for more evidence and find a specific person.
-
Nervous Tics
Mr. Black
Let’s say the secret visitor wants to awaken the werewolf. For what purpose? The monster is cunning and very strong. It’s likely that only the Shadow can subdue it. On second thought... Let’s look around. Maybe the stranger used some other devices to affect the beast.
These fake ears have recently been used. The wire is broken and still sparks a little. It’s not clear why they were used though, as the werewolf has its own ears. Put them on the werewolf and connect them to a power source to make them move? A strange idea! I believe they’re more likely a bugging device.
-
Suspicious Laughter
Mr. Black
The stranger comes to the tower at night, when even my agents avoid this place. Still, there’s a werewolf, albeit in anabiosis. I have a theory that it’s the monster that interests the brave visitor. I saw an unusual tool not far from the werewolf. Look for it.
Do you think it’s a tickling tool? Hmm... I assumed the attacker used it to try to disable the anabiosis unit. Ha ha ha, I tried it and admit that it really tickles. But why would someone tickle a werewolf? Were they hoping to wake it up?
-
Disturbing Greenery
Mr. Black
The unknown person who’s been secretly visiting the Full Moon Tower is leaving a strange trail. For example, they moved the buildings on the model of the City and added some details there. It alarms me that they’re in the form of trees. Perhaps it’s a hint about planned ambushes? Take a look.
I agree, these fake trees do look like theatrical scenery. But who needed to bring them here, and why? I don’t think that someone crazy just suddenly decided to decorate the model of the Upper City. They clearly have a goal, and most likely a criminal one.
-
Surprise for a Thief
Alford Stone
Look, the donkey, dog, cat, and rooster figurines perfectly connect with each other and are firmly attached to the holder. But no matter how I twist and turn them, I can’t make the anti-theft charm work. Maybe I need to use your tools. Can you lend me some?
Cover your ears! I tried to break into a safe next to the anti-theft charm, and it activated. It turns out that the charm emits an awful cry. It’s impossible to bear, but what’s worse is that you can’t turn it off! I suggest we run away from here as soon as possible!
-
Solid Foundation
Alford Stone
We’ve collected the parts of the special anti-theft charm, but it has another important component that holds everything together. They say it looks like a wagon. I tried to find such a thing, but came up with nothing. Help me find a suitable charm holder.
I’m infinitely grateful to you for finding this charm holder. I imagined it would be in the form of a carriage, but it’s a cart. But the main thing is that all the parts of the amulet fit in it, as if they were here all along. Now we just need to figure out how to activate the special protection.
-
Avian Vigilance
Alford Stone
The next part of the anti-theft charm that we’re reassembling should embody vigilance. I managed to find out that it’s related to a bird, but I never found out which one. Can you find some kind of security device that looks like a bird?
You found a ring with feathers? Aha, there’s a rooster figurine here. It can be considered a bird. Rooster crowing scares away even evil spirits. I think the feathered ring served to protect against thieving spirits or witches. That’s quite important in the City. We’ve almost assembled the charm!
-
Guardian of the House
Alford Stone
An urban legend says that another part of the charm is a guardian who protects the home. It looks like we need a cat. I’ve wanted one for a long time, but I’m allergic. For the charm we’ll need some kind of security item with a cat on it. Have you seen one?
That’s exactly what we need: an anti-theft device in the form of a cat stuffed with an explosive mixture. As the burglar approaches, the mixture explodes and releases acrid smoke. Pretty effective! I’m really curious to see how the assembled charm will work. I can’t wait to find out!
-
A Nosy Sentinel
Alford Stone
I’ve never used dogs to guard my valuables. It’s too much trouble. The Defenders themselves didn’t have any dogs. But one of the parts of the anti-theft charm is a gate guardian with an acute sense of smell. So, we need to find something that looks like a dog. Did you come across such a guardian?
You found a dog alarm, a figurine of a dog with a signal crystal that lights up when someone passes by. Of course, it won’t deal with the burglar by itself, but it will be perfect for the anti-theft charm. Plus, you don’t need to feed it.
-
A Strong Barrier
Alford Stone
It will take a lot of effort to reassemble the anti-theft charm, but I’m ready to do anything to protect my antiques. Rumor has it that one of the parts of the charm protected valuables with the stubbornness of a donkey. What could it be? Maybe a strong lock? Let’s find it.
It’s a start: you found the donkey lock. Hmm, what an interesting design... The lock is in fact very strong. But not all burglars just break the door open. That’s why I need a special charm - to protect my property from any trouble.
-
The Knowledge Keeper
Huntress
Father always kept a journal of his experiments, but we haven’t found any of his records. I’m sure this scientific data is stored in a safe place, but where? Bitte, show off your wonderful talent and help me find the valuable information.
This is my father’s travel secretary desk. I remember him going to scientific conferences with it. There are his old reports here and... a journal with a description of his experiments on werewolves! Mein Freund, you’ve just made an invaluable contribution to the development of a cure for lycanthropy!

Rage of the Sea’s Depths
Huntress
This sea spirit takes its duties very seriously, so don’t be surprised if it studies you carefully. In fact, the City can really benefit from its presence. When the spirit gets stronger, it will be a good defender. Will you try calling it over?
And here’s our sea spirit! Don’t mind its tiny size, it’s still growing. It... Oh, I still haven’t come up with a name for it! Do you have any ideas, mein Freund?

A Sleeping Mind
Rayden Storke
The werewolf who made its way to the Upper City turned out to be a scientist who contracted lycanthropy to escape from the Shadow, a monster maker and... the Huntress’s father! She wants to cure him, but for now he’s in anabiosis and isn’t dangerous. But we’re looking after him.
-
Under Surveillance
Carlos Light
The Huntress is determined to continue her father’s research to cure him of his lycanthropy. In the meantime, I’ve configured the anabiosis installation at her request and I’m ready to set the timer to infinity. There’s one more important thing to do. Can you lend me some tools?
Now everything is as it should be. I’ve put a collar with sensors on the werewolf scientist. He’ll be in anabiosis until we learn how to return werewolves to their human form, and the sensors will alert us if something changes in his state. We’ll have to watch him. After all, he’s still a monster.
-
A Scrupulous Test
Huntress
My heart is beating like crazy. Have I really found my father alive, even if he’s in the form of a beast...? But I can’t just take a werewolf’s word for it. My father taught me the basics of his craft, so I’ll be able to do a blood test. I need a chemical analyzer.
Looks like you found the chemical analyzer that I practiced on. It’s still familiar to me, so I should be able to do the test. I’ve never had to apply my knowledge in such strange circumstances, so I’d better clarify my thoughts.
-
A Bouquet of Memories
Huntress
The werewolf says that the scent of violets confused his plans. I love violets and wear a perfume with their fragrance, but it doesn’t affect werewolves. Ah, its smell reminds him of his daughter? He keeps a book with the bunch of violets she put inside. Help me find it, mein Freund.
I know this book and this bouquet of forest violets! I once collected them myself and put them between the pages... So the scent of violets attracted the werewolf scientist’s attention. He suddenly realized that I am his daughter, and I fled to avoid a duel. Incredible!
-
Irresistible Call
Rayden Storke
Allegedly, the scientist was looking for his daughter, from whom he was separated. But he felt that his animal essence was taking over. In the end, he decided to take revenge on someone who gave him to the Shadow, and set psy-werewolves on them with the help of a whistle. He claims that the whistle is here somewhere. Can you find it?
Hmm, this psy-whistle seems real to me. They say someone in the Lower City had one... Let’s not test it though. What if the psy-werewolves hear the whistle and break into the Upper City, finding a way through the dungeons and the rift?
-
Strong Chains
Huntress
The werewolf scientist doesn’t deny that he’s connected to the Shadow Cult. He says that they forced him to make monsters for them. The Shadow held the scientist prisoner, he had no choice. The proof is his shackles. They aren’t ones used on ordinary werewolves. Let’s see.
True, the werewolf’s shackles have some special signs glowing on them. I’m not an expert like Martha, but I can make out the runes of subjugation that affect people. To weaken their influence and escape from the Shadow’s power, the scientist decided to become a werewolf.
-
Source of Horror
Rayden Storke
I suspected that something was fishy. This monster was luring us into a trap! I have a theory as to why. Have you seen an unusual lamp around here? It seems to exude not light but darkness. Have a look and find it.
Horror emanates from this lamp of darkness. When I was just a lamplighter boy, I once saw a Shadow disciple touch a lamp, which made it the same as this one. This werewolf scientist is clearly connected to the dark Cult. Will he confess what kind of ambush he was planning for us?
-
One-Way Ticket
Carlos Light
The chair is steady, the torn wires are soldered, and the broken gears have been replaced. The de-lycanthropy apparatus is ready to launch! I only need to clean the rusty key so it doesn’t jam. I’ll be quick, just lend me some tools.
I’ve started up the device. The lights came on, and the dashboard lit up. But its arrow is only pointing at the image of a human turning into a monster. No matter what I do, I can’t turn it the other way. Wait a minute... Did they make monsters here?
-
The Key Moment
Carlos Light
Almost everything is ready to transform the werewolf back into the scientist. But there’s a catch: we need a key to start the apparatus. I asked the scientist where to get it, but he says he doesn’t remember. Perhaps the animal’s nature has clouded his mind. Do me a favor, find the key.
When you brought this key, the werewolf let out such a growl that I flinched. I thought maybe the key was wrong, but it fits perfectly into the hole in the research chair’s dashboard. We’re one step away from turning the monster back into a human.
-
A Call from the Past
Huntress
It would be ideal if we could repair this chair and turn the scientist back into a human, but according to Carlos, we're missing some parts. I saw a strange toy with gears around here. Maybe we could use that part? Could you go look for it?
Danke, you found the toy made of gears. They’ll be useful for repairing the research chair. I had a similar toy as a child... Almost identical... For some reason, I see more and more things here that remind me of days long gone.
-
A Reliable Tool
Carlos Light
I’ve checked the devices and I’m sure I can fix them. We’ll turn the scientist back into a human and be able to have a normal conversation with him. After all, he scares me as a werewolf, and he gives increasingly strange instructions. Have you seen my crystal soldering iron?
Right, this soldering iron is exactly what I need. I’ll fix part of the research chair with it. The werewolves did their best here - it’s been badly damaged by claws. Maybe the process of becoming a human is unpleasant? Or do the monsters not want to be human again?
-
Commencing Transformation
Carlos Light
It’s a great idea to learn how to turn werewolves back into humans. I think with my technical background and the scientist’s knowledge, we should be able to succeed. If he was conducting experiments, he must have prepared a suitable device, something like a table or chair. Can you look for something like that?
What luck - you found the research chair! It’s big enough to fit a werewolf just fine. We’ll use it to return him to his human form. He confirmed that the chair was used for this. It doesn’t matter that the appliances on it are broken. We’ll fix them.
-
Moon Mark
Huntress
We’ll use the scientist’s work to cure his lycanthropy! Strangely, the werewolf seems to object. He says the process of transforming into a beast is irreversible. He even calculated the exact date on the astronomical calendar. Have you seen one here?
Yes, I know how to use this astronomical calendar. My father taught me as he had the same one. Hmm, I see that the next full moon is marked here. Will the scientist really become a werewolf forever so soon? Bitte, let’s hurry and help him in time!
-
Clock Is Ticking
Huntress
While Herr Lamplighter was sorting out the technicalities, I tried to understand why this place seems familiar to me. I found a cache among the books. It seems to be connected to the anabiosis device. Perhaps it’s a switch? Lend me some tools, I’ll check.
Danke, I used your tools to open the cache. There’s a timer inside! This means that the scientist puts himself into anabiosis and wakes up when the timer turns off the installation. But our manipulation has interfered with the numbers. Now only we can free the werewolf.
-
A Terrible Roar
Carlos Light
Even with the net mushrooms, I can’t turn off the anabiosis installation. But we’ll weaken it enough that the werewolf will be able to speak. Which is awkward to do, but we’ll understand his growl if we use a speech converter. I think I brought it with me. Look around.
Yes, this is my speech converter, an experimental model. I tried to understand the sounds coming from the fog at night. You know, they resemble whispers... but I haven’t been able to decipher them. It’ll be easier with a werewolf. Now I’ll set the device to his growl.
-
Increased Capacity
Rayden Storke
It’s risky to turn off the anabiosis installation, as the monster might attack. But we need information, and there’s no other way to get it. Let’s de-energize the device with some net mushrooms. Look for them, and I’ll position myself to shoot the beast, just in case.
You found the net mushrooms! But don’t hold them in your hands for too long, otherwise you’ll feel weak. My grandmother Clarissa told me that they absorb energy. I think if you add some net mushrooms to the energy absorber, you could discharge any device.
-
Energy Distribution
Carlos Light
I hope that the werewolf has something human left in him and that he’ll answer our questions. He was definitely a brilliant scientist. To come up with such an apparatus that’s impossible to turn off! I’ll try to de-energize it. Have you seen my energy absorber?
Excellent, you found my energy absorber. It’s a useful gadget. When you repair lamps, you want to remove the residual energy in them, because the crystals charging them are so powerful you can get a forceful discharge. But the device hasn’t enough capacity for the anabiosis installation.
-
Power Source
Carlos Light
If this werewolf was an outstanding scientist, I hope we can talk to him. I’d like to know more about this invention of his, the anabiosis thing. The device requires a high voltage, but I can’t find its power source. Can you help?
That’s a perfectly assembled autonomous generator! It uses crystals similar to anti-fog ones, but they’re different. They produce tons of energy. The problem is that we need to stop the generator to bring the werewolf to his senses.
-
Great Potential
Carlos Light
To get answers from the werewolf, we need to figure out how he was put into such a deep sleep. The technology used here isn’t simple. Let’s start by finding out if there’s lots of energy in this anabiosis installation. Find a voltage meter.
Thank you for finding my voltage meter. I’ve had it since the Octopus was just a scientific unit of the Security Service, and not Violet’s gang. Let’s see what potential the apparatus that keeps the werewolf in anabiosis has. Wow!
-
An Insignia
Huntress
Herr Lamplighter is right - I’ve seen a similar medallion too. Here it is, on the werewolf’s neck! Do you think the beast took it after killing its owner? But werewolves don’t collect trophies. I’ll examine the medallion and compare it with the one in the portrait. Lend me some tools, bitte.
The werewolf is still in anabiosis, so I was able to get a good look at the medallion. I feel as if I’ve seen it before... There’s no doubt: the medallion is the one in the picture. Alas, this means that the werewolf is the man in the portrait.
-
A Canvas Mystery
Carlos Light
Do you think the werewolf was lured here by the tower’s dweller? If anyone lived here, they did so in secret, because I never saw them. My memory may fail me though. Right, before I forget - I think I’ve found a portrait nearby... or rather, what’s left of it. Take a look.
The portrait was also attacked. It’s hard to recognize the man from this fragment, but he resembles the Huntress, don’t you think? Anyway, the portrait is old. Things could have changed. But I’ve recently come across a similar medallion to the one in the picture.
-
Picture of the Past
Huntress
It seems that a scientist lived in the tower, and the werewolf ran to them. Mein Freund, I have the feeling that I’ve been here before. Is it an effect of the fog? I wish we could find out what the tower’s dweller looks like. Let’s take a closer look at the paintings. Maybe we can find their portrait.
You found a broken picture frame? Hmm, it’s not just broken - a piece was bitten off by large sharp fangs. I’d say a werewolf gnawed the frame. For some reason, it clearly had a grudge against this picture. Let’s try to figure out what it showed.
-
Subject of Study
Huntress
Even if someone made a wolfberry potion in the tower, it’s unlikely that the werewolf ran to its smell. It easily turned into a monster without it, I saw it. The beast was attracted to something else, something important. Do you have any idea what it could be?
The science exhibit you found is a creepy thing. But now we know that someone was carefully studying werewolves here. I wonder why... To destroy them? Or maybe cure them? We have to find and question the tower’s dweller. They couldn’t have evaporated.
-
Looking for Victims
Huntress
The werewolf’s prints are painted red. This may mean that it rushed here to attack the tower’s dweller, and they fought each other. Look around, maybe we’ll find the victim. There seems to be a bigger blood stain over there. Check it, mein Freund.
You found a broken flask of red liquid? So that’s what colored the tracks. That’s better than finding the werewolf’s victim. The liquid is colored by some kind of fruit. These are wolfberries! As far as I know, their concentrate accelerates the transformation into a werewolf.
-
Double Tracks
Huntress
If we discover why the werewolf rushed to the tower and what happened to it, then we can solve the mystery of its behavior and save the Upper City from a monster invasion. What attracted the beast? Let’s look for pawprints. Usually they’re quite informative.
You found a very important clue - a mixture of handprint and a pawprint. I would say that this was the spot where a man turned into a monster. But the hand-paw print is painted red... Perhaps the werewolf attacked someone. Quick, we need to find out!
-
Moon Potions
Rayden Storke
The testing process isn’t the easiest, but at least we’ll know for sure if the Huntress is a werewolf. We’ll need to prepare some ingredients. I’ll give you the wolf amulet and the revolver with silver bullets for now, if you lend me your tools.
With your tools, I opened up a box of special potions for the lycanthropy test. It looks exactly as Grandma described. I hope the potions haven’t lost their potency since the Defenders’ time, and that the amulet will work. Let’s follow the instructions carefully, they’re here somewhere.
-
Sign of the Beast
Rayden Storke
It’s hard to believe that an almost dead werewolf smashed my airship. Maybe it’s been here for a long time, and the Huntress only pretends to be surprised? I have an idea how to test her for lycanthropy. We just need to find a wolf amulet. Have you seen one here?
Yep, you found the wolf amulet. My grandmother Clarissa once told me how the Defenders used it to determine if someone had contracted lycanthropy after a fight with werewolves. I wasn’t sure if this was a fairy tale or not, but since we have the amulet, we might as well check the Huntress with it.
-
The Hottest News
Huntress
The best way to prove I’m not a werewolf is to find the beast I was chasing. I followed its trail, but I lost it on the tower’s stone steps. All I’ve found so far is a stuffed monster. The real creature is still hiding, but I’ll find it. Bitte, pass me my thermal imager.
It’s easy to find ambushing werewolves with a thermal imager. Let’s see... There’s no one behind the columns, the curtains, or the stuffed monster... Oh, life is glimmering in the near dead werewolf. It’s in a deep sleep and only just alive. It’s in anabiosis! How did this happen?
-
Protective Herbs
Carlos Light
So the Huntress was flying through the fog on the outside of the airship. How did she manage to retain her memory? She says she wore a special green mask that helps her hunt down monsters in foggy neighborhoods. Let’s check out this mask.
I’ve never seen such a mask. It looks flimsy, but somehow doesn’t let the fog through. It’s made of grass and flowers, so breathing through it is even pleasant. It’s as if it refreshes your thoughts. Yes, this mask could have protected the Huntress’s memory. But if she’s a monster, she didn’t need it.
-
Flexible Force
Huntress
The werewolf jumped into the airship just as it was taking off. I couldn’t let it go to the Upper City! The monster pushed me out of the airship, but I managed to hold onto the outside of the flying aircraft with my bone whip. The whip is very strong. See for yourself.
-
A Runic Weapon
Huntress
I’m ready to prove that I’m not a monster. You see, I came to the Upper City chasing a werewolf. A pack of psy-werewolves surrounded the Manor. There was a man among them, so to protect him, I used rune-tipped arrows. Here’s one, take a look.
The runes on the arrow’s tip are still flickering. They activate upon contact with psy-werewolves, proving I had a skirmish with them recently. I managed to disperse the pack, but when I approached the man, he suddenly turned into a werewolf and ran.
-
Chasing the Unknown
Rayden Storke
Uninvited guests have arrived in the Upper City, and one of them is definitely a monster. We need to find and neutralize it. Will the Huntress help us with this, or has she become a werewolf herself? She was seen running towards the Full Moon Tower. Will we find any clues there to solve this mysterious story?
-
Regained
Huntress
We managed to create new voices for Insu and Inhyo, and they have regained control of the celestial sea. Who knows, maybe one day they’ll find the Puppeteer in one of the worlds they travel to. I wonder what happened to him.
-
A New Tide
Isabelle
Since Insu and Inhyo are regaining their power to control the celestial sea, let’s help them stop the rising storm. They haven’t yet mastered their new voices, and taming a storm isn’t easy. Will you bring some artifacts? They’ll help the twins control their voices.
Strengthened by the artifacts, Insu and Inhyo’s new voices sound steady and melodious! The storm clouds have cleared, the waves have calmed down, and the sea spirits are no longer rushing about, for the rulers of the celestial sea have expelled darkness from their hearts.
-
Homecoming
Isabelle
I’m sure that the connection between the celestial sea and its guardians will now improve. Of course, it will be difficult at first. They need to get used to their new voices. But the celestial waters are already obeying them, which means that we can share the wonderful news with the gossiping crab. Will you find it?
Just look! As soon as Inhyo told the gossiping crab about her and Insu’s return, it set off a small firework and immediately started spreading the news across the celestial sea. Harmony will soon return to these waters.
-
Dancing Drops
Isabelle
We need to restore Insu and Inhyo’s connection to the celestial sea slowly. They’ve been apart for too many years. Let’s see if small water molecules will obey their voices. Could you bring me that sparkling stingray?
Thanks for bringing the sparkling stingray here. As soon as it flew up to Insu and heard his voice, it immediately turned into a small fountain out of joy. Inhyo then turned it back into a stingray. That means they can control water again!
-
And the Storms Will End...
Isabelle
It’s difficult for Insu and Inhyo to restore their connection to the celestial sea, as it has plunged into chaos. A storm is coming, and the sea spirits are nervous. The strange fog frightens them... We should look for one of the main spirits of the celestial sea, the sunny jellyfish.
You found the sunny jellyfish so fast, even though it was almost completely covered by thunderclouds! The jellyfish is also scared and confused. But it’s okay. I’ll calm its mind a little, and the sun’s rays will illuminate the celestial sea, if briefly!
-
Guilt Is Poison for the Heart
Isabelle
To restore Insu and Inhyo’s connection to the celestial sea, we have to relieve them of their guilt before the heavenly abyss. Guilt is one of the most destructive feelings. Even the celestial sea feels it. Just look at this star from the deep.
This star from the deep is poisoned with guilt because the twins’ souls share a connection with the inhabitants of the celestial sea. Insu and Inhyo’s negative feelings are reflected in their voices, so the waters refuse to obey them. But the twins have realized their mistakes, and I will cleanse their hearts of guilt.
