Werewolf Secrets
Huntress
I swear though, that big werewolf is waiting for us at the exit of the dungeon! He's not going to let us go with Alicia's dress in our hands. I'm getting the shivers. If that werewolf doesn't give way, there will be a battle! But look at that locket around his neck... a time-looping amulet. Wearing it makes you invincible. If we want to get out of here alive, we have to take that locket!
This werewolf is deeply wounded. He shouldn't be a danger anymore. Should we get closer? Listen, he's trying to tell us something.
-
theatrical gesture
Isabelle
The next thing that caught my attention on stage was the woman with the wine glass. Her pose, her facial expression. Everything about her exudes confidence and triumph. You should look for her role in this play. The locket around the actress's neck is decorated with a lyre. She doesn't bring it with her. She's afraid to go on stage by herself.
The woman with the wine glass is beautiful and confident. Her clothes are expensive and a bit provocative. What's her role? Let's open the locket we got and see what's inside. I knew it. It's inscribed! It says. "To Miss Elizabeth Connelly, the incomparable leading lady of this theater. "To your loyal fan, Baron de Rouville. In honor of your talent, Christmas, 1888."
-
Desperate Search
Juliette
Those human marionettes on stage are truly horrifying. And where is the detective? Hey, I mean, we have to find out who is playing what role in this bizarre play. Look, the scene on stage is full of tension. But the man in the armchair seems awfully calm. Would you mind going through his pockets? I'm sure there's something in there about his role.
The man in the armchair is calm, but maybe somewhat too calm. Did you find something in his pockets? Wow, a silver cigarette case. It's inscribed with something. It says. "To Count McGrave. From my business partner, Baron de Rouville, 1890."
-
Portrait of my daughter
Detective
All that is left is the portrait of Irene Leroy, daughter of Michel and Ellen. Can you help?
Irene in this picture is still a child. I'm sorry to hear that she was frozen to death with her lover. Hopefully the great heat of the heart will prevent her from freezing to death. Maybe someday we can find a way to help Irene and her lover.
-
Portrait of the mother
Juliette
I know how to end the Iceman's suffering and melt the ice that has covered the City of Shadows. The Iceman's soul feels only cold and longs for the one he loves. If he can remember the happy days with Ellen, when he was Michelle, he can break the Snow Queen's curse. The power of love melts the ice." Hurry up and find Ellen's portrait.
Ellen is beautiful and brave. She saved her daughter Irene by sacrificing her own life and leaving her in the City of Shadows. The Snow Queen would still believe that she thwarted the prophecy. But Ellen's power still lives on in her daughter's heart.
-
Regain your memory
Detective
Now we know why the Iceman appeared in the City of Shadows. On New Year's night, Irene's lover asked her to marry him, and her heart burned with a flame so bright that it transcended all time and space. That's how the ice man felt. So he came to the city of shadows, thinking he had found his lover, Ellen. He remembered the warmth of Ellen's heart. And even after she lost her life, the great heart was not dead. A mother's heart was passed on to her daughter, Irene. Find all the portraits that go into the family locket.
That's a portrait of Irene's father. It's Michel, no doubt! He looks very happy.
-
Open Rocket
Detective
I need a small key to open Irene's locket. I think it's down here somewhere. Find it.
This will allow you to open Irene's locket. Inside there is a place for three portraits. Since Irene never knew her parents, there are no portraits of the two of them. There are thin letters engraved on the inside. The power of love melts the snow. Is this another clue?
-
New Clues
Detective
Let's remember how it all started in the first place. The ice man said he could feel his beloved Ellen here. That is why he came to the City of Shadows. But if Ellen has been dead for years, who did the Iceman sense? Let's take another closer look near the gift store.
Was this beautiful locket on Irene's neck? But it's closed. I'm in trouble.
-
Last Sweets
Juliette
All of the Christmas candy that Michelle gave Ellen was wonderful. It's not hard to see why Ellen saved some of them as a reminder of all the Christmases she spent next to Michelle. Let's find the last of the Christmas candy.
Oh my goodness, they are adorable! These snowflake cookies are a baking miracle!
-
Berry Christmas Tree Cookies
Juliette
Now, there are a few more sweets given as gifts. Look closely. Michelle's present should be near here.
Yikes! Christmas tree cookies decorated with candied berries. If someone offered me something like this, I could never say I didn't want it.
-
Biscuit Tart
Valerie
Michel really loved Christmas. Michel's Christmas pastries were the best in Paris. Let's look for other sweets.
This is another artisanal treat. The cookie presents are covered with white chocolate.
-
Beautiful sweets
Juliette
Let's find some other Christmas candy. They should be around here, near the store.
It's a cookie in the shape of a skate shoe with red icing on it. I wonder if I should bake some for the detective?
-
Christmas present
Juliette
I think the Iceman still senses that Ellen is around these parts. That's why he came to the shadow city on Christmas Eve to cause the gift store incident. I did find out that his girlfriend's name was Ellen. I found something interesting in Michelle's diary. Every year he gave Ellen a very beautiful Christmas candy. She kept them in a safe place. If we can find all the candy, Martha can perform the ritual of finding Ellen. What are you dawdling about? Find the candy.
What a wonderful Christmas present. Michelle really loved Ellen. And Ellen loved Michelle. They were really happy.
-
Love of the Great Heart
Detective
We are learning more and more about the frozen gift store. The prophecy about the girl with the big heart involves the fate of the entire world. This is definitely my best case yet. Let's hurry up and keep digging.
Another one from the Snow Queen's castle. A letter. What's it say? I can't believe it. This is the exact same letter that Michel left at the entrance of the store when he went off to war. It says that he wants to marry his girlfriend when he comes back from the war.
-
The warmth of a great heart
Mistress
If the Snow Queen finds the girl of prophecy, the first thing she would do would be to make her deceased. The girl's passionate heart is a threat to the ice kingdom. Let's find something to support that theory.
The Snow Queen's melted wand has been found? Incredible as it may seem, that prophecy seems to be real. Ice magic is powerless in the face of great minds. The Snow Queen could not even come close to the girl, let alone harm her.
-
The Heart of France
Detective
If the Snow Queen had found the girl of prophecy, there would be evidence of it in the Snow Queen's belongings. A map or a note with an address?
According to this note, the Snow Queen has found a girl with a great heart. If I'm not mistaken, this is a map of Paris marked by the Snow Queen herself.
-
Search for 1000 years
Detective
A very interesting document indeed. It predicts the appearance of a girl with a great heart. Her heart will have the power to melt all the ice on earth. In other words, the Snow Queen will be overthrown. This prophecy must have terrified the Snow Queen from the bottom of her heart. And she did her best to find the girl.
Paintings and photographs of girls from various periods. A lot of pictures and photos of girls from different eras, a lot indeed. It seems that the Snow Queen was not wrong in deducing that it took hundreds of years to find the one girl whose great heart pulsated in her breast.
-
fearsome project
Detective
Why did the Snow Queen treat Michel so badly? Who is his lover? Where is she? I spent a long time thinking about how to figure out the Snow Queen's plan, and I came up with one. Remember when the snowmen went to the Snow Queen's castle to save Santa? They came back with many of the Queen's belongings. Many of the items brought from the ice castle were scattered around. They think that one of them might be able to tell what the Snow Queen is planning to do.
Old handwritten document. It is covered with frost. There is no doubt that it came from the Snow Queen's castle. What does it say?
-
military tactics
Juliette
The insignia says that Michelle was promoted with a small unit under her command. I'd be interested to know what assignment she got after that.
A military map held in paper scissors and an order to cross a body of water. In other words, Michel was ordered to cross a river with the enemy on the other side.
-
Soldier's uniform
Conductor
An educated war hero. Michelle is not as simple as she first thought. How long in the world has she been on the front lines?
This is Michelle's winter army uniform. Winter is a hard season for soldiers.
-
Courage and Valor
Conductor
Based on what we found earlier, it appears that Michelle was seriously wounded in the fight. Let's look for other belongings.
What did you find? Let me see. "The Medal of Valor in Battle." Michel was a gentle soul, but he was also brave. And he got a medal.
-
happy (sweet) memory
Valerie
I can only imagine how difficult it must have been for Michelle. She was a kind and artistically gifted person. Finding the gift store owner's next belongings.
An old painting of a gift store. There is no doubt that Michel missed the store and everything associated with it. He kept this picture with him at all times. There's a bullet hole here. And dried blood.
-
For war
Juliette
The story of Michel, the gift store owner, is in the notebook, but it ends with Michel going off to war. What happened to him? We need information from the past to better understand the current case. Find Michel's personal belongings. It should give us some clues as to what happened when he went to war.
Michelle's harmonica. Even on the battlefield, you couldn't forget the beautiful things you had when you lived in peace.
-
Mysterious Bird
Lady Peacock
I've noticed unusual scarlet feathers in the City. They can even be bought at the Troll Market. I know where they might come from. Find an image of a Vermilion Bird in the Emperor's room, and I'll tell you about it.
This Vermilion Bird pendant is painted with cinnabar! I know a lot about eastern myths and birds, and I recognize this sacred symbol. This is Zhu Que, the Chinese bird of fire, the south and summer!
-
Scared Scales
Valerie
The Emperor had a Talisman with animals that fulfilled wishes, and now we need to collect its pieces. You don't know which animal to look for next? Are you kidding? Look around, there are dragons everywhere in the throne room, one for every occasion! Look for a dragon!
The Azure Dragon is covered in scales! Have you noticed that the wind is carrying whole clouds of such scales around the City? I even found one under my bed, can you imagine?!
-
Black Warrior
Mayor
The Emperor painted a large turtle in his letter. I recognize it. It's a sacred Chinese animal, the "Black Warrior of the North". I even had a paperweight that resembled it. An appropriate symbol for making a wish durin battle. Will you find the turtle?
You've found the Chinese turtle! The Talisman's piece fit together. They are part of one whole. We are one step closer to unraveling the mystery of the Chinese Palace.
-
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?
Excellent! A fragment with a metallic White Tiger, the same as in the Emperor's letter. The Talisman must have split after he made his wish.
-
Duchess Doll
Juliette
Getting dolls for Isabelle was a great idea. I know just where to get the Susanna doll. Her dress is an exact replica of the Queen of England's. Let's go find it togethere, I can't manage without your help.
Mon amie, look how pretty the Susannna doll is. It will be the perfect gift for Isabelle.
-
Sinister Lighting
Huntress
Mein freund, I was just thinking... this Master isn't very different from the monsters I've gotten used to destroying. He is fortunate that he is unknown in the City, otherwise I would insist on his very close acquaintance wit hmy daggers. Find the Master's final item as soon as possible, and let's close this case.
Gosh, some kind of apparatus again! No, I got enough of an electrical shock from the Time Catcher. I won't touch this things as well. Now I'll throw a knife into it, and... How monstrous you are in the Corona Dischage's spotlight! The bones of your hands, skull, eye sockets - for a moment you looked like a demon!
-
Inevitable Ending
Martha
How awful! I don't understand why I didn't feel the ominous atmosphere of this place. Is it because of the anomalies located here? In any case, I need to perform a purification ritual. Let's finish the investigation as soon as possible. Find something that indicates the direction of the Master's future work.
Oh, you found the Ghost Spinning Top. It disappears with a quick spin, and what's more, it can spin for a very long time, but not forever. Does this mean the Master achieved effects that were long, but not everlasting?
-
Frozen Process
Isabelle
My God, what horrible things the Master did, and still I considered him a professional equal! Let's finish the investigtation as quickly as possible and leave this place. I want to forget everything that happened here. Find an item that points out what else was done by this... this... No, I can't even call him a scientist.
A crystal heart? It's so cold! When I took it in my hands I was immediately reminded of crostasis, which I read about in scientific publications. Most likely, the Master put his "test subjects" into anabiosis, like during a space flight. He had good reason to be so enthusiastic about the "deception of time" in his notes!
-
Energy Donor
Valerie
Oh, if you need any liquids, I saw a fountain somewhere here. It's just a small indoor fountain, but perhaps it will help you learn about the Master's tru intentions?
Yes, yes, yes! This is the fountain I was talking about. It's great that you found it... Look, its streams flow by emptying a container placed at a heigher level. The container the nbecomes dry and brittle. Hey... Just like a mummy!
-
Sucking out the Juices
Detective
We need to find out what goal was driving the Master, an making him spend so much time and effort. For this, we need to collect items describing his final experiments - they will give us a clue about exactly what the Laboratory of Time's creator wanted to achieve. My friend, I'm still thinking about the bloody print on the Master's letter. I looked closely at our mummy and noticed that he suffered an injury when he was alive. I think the first matter is to look in the same nook where we found the body, and the clue will be flowing, like blood, you understand?
Wow, you found Connected Timers. It looks like two separate connecting water clocks simply placed at the same level. It would seem that the level of fluid in them should be the same, but, going against gravity, one water clock fills, emptying the other. What could this mean?
-
Stretching Moments
Alex
Unbelievable! It's clear from the Master's note that he found a way to control time! Plus, a lot of manipulations took place using musical instruments. I, as a musician, can tell you what we need to understand how he did it. A metronome! Find one quickly.
Splendid! You found the metronome, congratulations! Normally it measures short intervals of time with even strokes until it's stopped, but modified by the Master, its frequency changes by itself. Now we can say with certainty that the Master's devices are self-adjusting.
-
Directing Events
Huntress
Mein freund, thanks to you we learned that the Master was able to direct time so that in his travels he departed to a desired day and time. But if you ask me, something tangible or physical can be directed through time too. Find an item related to the concentration of time, as time itself in intangible.
You did great, congratulations! A concentration of time look slike a dreamcatcher made of metal chain links, and a blue light burning in the centre... Wow! It gave me an electrical shock!
-
Getting There Accurately
Isabelle
I'm so sad that I don't know the Master! I think we would have many things in common to talk about. For instance, I'm extremely insterested in how he calculated the exact time he needed to travel through. Let's check, did he use the device or go by chance?
I don't know what the Master called it, but I would call it a Moment Gyroscope. See, there are numbers on the rim for setting the time, which you need to adjust down to the second. Thanks to your find, we've learned that the Master not only obeyed the stream of time, but that it also guided him! What next?
-
Magic Time Table
Mistress
I have been trying to solve the mystery of the gift store for years, but I haven't solved it yet. For example, what time does this store open?
Odd store timetable, don't you think? They say their opening hours are the last week of December. Well, this is true. This place stays closed for most of the year. The only time the lights come on is Christmas Eve, and the only time people are allowed in is at the end of December.
-
Where did this miracle come from?
Valerie
I always wondered where all the gifts in the store came from. They weren't there until not long ago, and then suddenly, the morning after Christmas, they are in the store. It's as if someone had waved a magic wand. Can you figure out the secret?
Everyone in town says the back door to the gift store leads to Santa's toy factory. Do you believe them? I don't believe it either. But how do you explain the sudden appearance of presents?
-
Christmas Miracle
Martha
Seems there is a connection between the ice man and the gift store. We need to look into the history of this place. At some point in the past, we will find the answer to who the Iceman is and why he appeared in the City of Shadows.
There are many letters with wishes written on them scattered around the store. Do you know why? The answer is simple. This gift store is one of the wonders of the City of Shadows. No one remembers when the store's window was first lit. But as time went by, the number of people delivering their letters of wishes in front of the gift store grew and grew. First children, then lovers, then old people, and finally even ordinary adults. On Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, new gifts appear in the store window from nowhere. The store fulfills many Christmas wishes of the citizens every year, year after year.
-
Secrets of the Past
Detective
There is a very unusual pattern on the frozen gift store door. No doubt it's an important clue, but what does it mean? But what does it mean? Let's continue to investigate the surrounding area.
Another newspaper clipping. It reads. In this year, 1812, a strange incident is taking place. In Paris, children are falling asleep and strange frost-like patterns are appearing on their skin. Their hearts beat faintly, and it is not clear whether they will live until morning. All of these children live near a Christmas gift store: ......"
-
frost pattern
Detective
The ice man came to the city of shadows and froze Irene, her fiancé, and the door of the gift store. He mumbled something about feeling his girlfriend's presence here, but no one has arrived in the city this month. What is the connection between the Iceman and the gift store? Let's check around.
Hmm, the pattern on the gift store door appears to be more than just frosting. I can clearly see a decorative geometric pattern. What does that mean?
-
Melt frost.
Detective
There are letters engraved on the ring. But I can't read them at all. It's completely covered with frost. Could you bring a candle? If you melt the frost with it, you should be able to read what is written on the ring.
I found a candle. Let's light it. All right. Be careful. Don't damage the evidence. The frost has melted. The ring says "K-S+I-L." Well, I don't know much. No "I.L." or "K.S." among the city's residents that I know of.
-
engagement ring
Detective
The box was found, but empty. There is no ring on the woman's finger either. It has to be around here somewhere. Let's find it! We have to thoroughly shovel away the piles of snow to find the ring.
I found an engagement ring. It's really beautiful. I hope it gives us some clues as to what happened to the woman who was put on ice.
-
Recording Anomalies
Juliette
Mon ami, allow me to speak. The Master studied time, travelled through it and was about to conduct an experiment to slow down time here in the City. He even mentioned that this was only the beginning! If we collect the items that he used in his experiments, then we'll understand what his end goal was - and what his scientific research led to. Find something connected to the Master's experiments. The City will help you.
The first find! Bravo, mon ami! It looks like a compass, only it's demagnetised. The needle is spinning like crazy! Oh, and if you step further away from the Master's devices, the needle comes to a stop and points red. This device must identify time anomalies!
-
(marriage) proposal
Detective
What do you think? Why did he take off his gloves when it's so cold? There must be a big reason. Let's look around the couple.
Nice box. Looks like there was a ring in it. Of course! Look at this traditional pose. The young man takes off his gloves and kneels before the lady. So this gentleman with the initials "K.S." was courting her. At that very moment, he was turned into an ice statue by some terrible magic.
-
Missing trinkets
Detective
Look closely at the man. He is wearing a glove on his left hand, but not on his right hand. Where did the glove on his right hand go?
Did you find the young man's other glove? See, it's embroidered with his initials. "K.S.". Judging by the excellence of the embroidery and the crest on the initials, the young man appears to be from a wealthy family.
-
Start of survey
Detective
I'm glad you called. What do we know? The day the citizens came to pick up their gifts, the entrance to the store was frozen shut. Obviously, someone has been up to no good. Don't you think? Then this couple became ice statues. What's the connection between them and the store not opening? Let's start the investigation. First, examine the ice sculptures carefully. Look for clues.
A beautiful bouquet of flowers is placed at the woman's feet. These two must have been on a date. A date by a gift store? That's romantic!
-
A Cup of Christmas
Conductor
Friends, I decided to dedicate a bottle of my favorite champagne to the ball. But the Snow Queen's snow storm uprooted everything in the hall. I don't know where that precious bottle went. This job is perfect for you. Find it and bring it back.
-
guiding star
Captain Drake
When I was traveling far away, I had a magic guiding star. It always pointed me in the right direction. I took it to the hall because I thought it would look nice on top of the Christmas tree. Can you help me find it?
Now you have a guiding star! Glad to be of service.
-
Christmas Sparkle
Valerie
You are here! Looking for Christmas symbols? I made a Christmas garland, but I didn't know where I put it. Surely you can find it easily?
What is that iridescent thing in your hand? Well, it's my Christmas garland! Isn't it beautiful?
-
Waiting for a miracle
Juliette
Well, even the mistress of the mansion is helping to save Christmas? That's a surprise. Well then, I can't help but do something about it. I never celebrated Christmas as a child, but every year I waited for Santa Claus to come to our house. I even hung up my socks. It was always empty, but I believed that one day it would be filled with lots of presents.
Yes, these are my Christmas socks. I made them myself. Be careful with them. They are very important.
-
flash of a thousand lights
Mistress
According to Santa, the only thing that can defeat the Snow Queen is the power of fire from the magical fir tree standing in the center of the hall. But now the tree is trapped in the bitter cold and the Christmas fire is not lit at all. It is the hearts of those who believe in Christmas that light the magic fire in the Christmas fir tree. Gather Christmas goods with those brave souls who have not been discouraged by fear but have kept the faith. A thousand bean-bulb decorations are hidden from detection by the monsters. Find them in the hall.
Yes, this is my miniature light bulb. It's the brightest bulb in town. Why do you look so surprised? Oh, I love Christmas! Otherwise, I wouldn't have that pile of junk in my mansion every year!
-
The Weight of Tradition
Conductor
There is only one snowman left. Given the lineup, that last one would be the traditional snowman. He's made of snow, has a scarf around his head, and a carrot nose.
Look, the fifth snowman ran straight to his friends. He must be in a big hurry.
-
Stylish helpers
Conductor
Three snowmen got together and started whispering! They won't let anyone hear them. Not even me. They just said I need a fashionable friend right now. Can you find one?
Oh, and the graceful snowman soon joined the group.
-
Help from the Ice
Conductor
Next time, I need to find an ice snowman somewhere. It's more like an iceman.
They are an interesting group of snowmen. But they are all so small and gentle. I hope that's not the reason they can't defeat the Snow Queen.
-
iced candy
Conductor
The first snowman story says there is a snowman made of ice cream. Chocolate? Or vanilla? You'll know when you find out.
Vanilla ice cream snowman. I'm glad you found it. Not the one with a sweet tooth.
-
star spirit
Conductor
Santa's letter will no doubt tell you that you must find the magical snowman that is the good spirit of Christmas. Let's find it!
Can you beat the Snow Queen with this little star snowman? Well, you'll have to try.
-
The end of the team
Captain Drake
I don't remember much about the fifth and last reindeer. I think it was made of jewels. What do you think?
Emerald reindeer! The last one on the team, the most important one, is made of pure emerald. How did you find him?
-
Golden figurine
Captain Drake
The second to last ornament is a golden reindeer. I hope the card scammers don't come steal it, blinded by the value of the gold.
A pure gold reindeer! In the past I would have kept such a treasure for myself no matter what!
-
Third Racer
Captain Drake
The lore also mentioned a bronze reindeer. Can you find it?
The third animal on Santa's team is a reindeer! You're a great hunter, you're a great hunter!
-
ice cube
Captain Drake
According to the legend, the second reindeer is made of snow and ice. With all this snow on the ground, it would be a challenge to find it, but you can do it!
I'm glad it wasn't summer. The snow reindeer would have melted.
-
Team First
Captain Drake
Together we will defeat the Snow Queen! Santa's letter mentions magical reindeer and a sleigh that glides down the path of the stars. As a child, I once heard a legend that if you collected magical reindeer figurines, the Aurora Borealis reindeer would descend from the sky. Can you help me find these rare figurines?
This is amazing! Amazing craftsmanship! This silver reindeer is alive and about to leap into the sky.
-
Last clue
Juliette
We need one last lead on Santa. Maybe a Christmas box? Let's see if I'm right again.
Yes, this is it. It's Santa's last clue! Look. I was right again. It's hidden in the Christmas box.
-
Christmas Decorations
Juliette
I feel like I need to find some Christmas decorations next. How about some pine cone decorations? Have you seen anything like that?
I found my Christmas pinecones. Which means we're one step closer to a solution!
-
sweet find
Juliette
I have a feeling the clue to the next cipher is attached to some Christmas candy. I don't know why I think that. Maybe it's woman's intuition. Or maybe I just want something sweet.
See, I told you so. Christmas candy with a letter with incomprehensible symbols. I'll have to decipher it as soon as possible.
-
Second clue
Juliette
I probably need all of these pieces of paper to understand the clues about Santa Claus. Find more items with letters on them.
Was the second letter attached to Christmas decorations? Let's look for the other ones.
-
First clue
Juliette
I know what's going on, Monami. The Snow Queen wants to destroy Christmas. But Santa Claus is in the way. But if people stop believing in Christmas, Santa Claus will lose his power. Then the Snow Queen can approach the magical fir tree and make wishes come true without anyone stopping her! In other words, to save Christmas, we must save Santa! Santa must have left some clues in the hall.
Well, a glass of champagne. Does it come with a letter written in mysterious symbols? Maybe I need to find some of these messages to understand the clues about Santa Claus.
-
Autumn Anomalies
Isabelle
My anomaly locator started to buzz in my hands the moment we approached the valley. But something tells me that this isn't just to do with the anomalies. What secrets does this seemingly quiet place hide? Let's go and take a look around the Valley.
We found a wagon in the valley. This place is overflowing with the gifts of autumn, and straw bales have been placed cozily around the fire. Strangely, there are no horses or wheel tracks on the ground. Could the wagon have gotten here by air? And it seems that it didn't have a soft landing.
-
Interplanetary Transport
Cardsharp
My dear friend, an exceedingly intriguing idea just came to me. One thing from the future could just be the City playing a joke; two or three is chance; four is coincidence, but five is a pattern. If you find a fifth item, then we'll be absolutely certain that the Mater, whose Laboratory of Time we have the honour of being in, has travelled to the future!
Oh my god! Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle! If it's not a spaceship model. My friend, do you understand what this means? You have proven that the person who created the laboratory of Time travelled not only to the past, but also into the future!
-
Personal World
Huntress
Mein freund, we can firmly say that the Master, who created the Laboratory of Time, travelled to the past. But to say that his next step was to travel to the future, will need more proof. Find an item brought back by the Master. Will it turn out to be from the future?
What a puzzling thing. Judging by the material, the Master obviously brought it back from the future, and according to Valerie's enthusiastci screams, it's called a Virtual Reality Helmet for gaming. It's placed on the head? Let's try it... Nothing has changed, only I somehow see myself on the streets of the City of Shadows. And a gargoyle is flying at me! Where's my sling? Take this, creature!
-
3D Image
Martha
An incrediable place, this Laboratory of Time, and no less mysterious is its Master who created it! Did he really travel into the future? Locate the next item and confirm or refute our assumption.
Oh, I'm afraid even I don't know what this thing is. Hmm. I can definitely say that it's safe, and if you press the button... Look! Our Earth has appeared above its surface! It looks like the astral bodies that I invoke! The blue translucent sphere spins, shows us continents, magnifies Euqope, its countries an dcities, a green dot blinks somewhere near Italy, and... It's all gone! What was it?
-
Flight on a Board
Alex
Valerie's just a cutie, right? And always sharing interesting ideas! I watched a movie about travelling to the future, well, before I became so... see through. Anyways, the main character flew on an anti-gravity board. Do you want to look for something similar?
Wow! You've found a flying skateboard! Not that I couldn7t fly, but with a skateboard it seems more human. Strange, why won't it work? Ah, yes... On the reverse side it says: "Hoverboard. Use over a water surface." It's a pity, I would have taken it for a spin.

Language Barrier
Isabella
Valerie's like a child, for heaven's sake! Just look at how she's running around the laboratory. Thank heavens she's not touching anything else... Now abck to the Master's research. He went into the past, so maybe the next step was to travel into the future? If you find objects from the future, this will confirm my theory and point us towards where to go next so we can ultimately learn why the Laboratory of Time was created.
A curious thing you found: a multi-faced bracelet in which floats phrases in different languages - German, French, Chinese... even in Esperanto! I know what kind of bracelet it is! It's a universal translator because Esperanto is a universal language, which was invented in the 19th century. Will we really all speak it?

Explorer in the Depths of Time
Martha
Within the laboratory's walls we found various objects that showed us where the Master went in his studies of time. Judging by everything, he learned to travel to the past. But why? Was his "Grand Goal" to discover how to time travel? I think we're one step away from learning the answer to this question. I'll perform a ritual that will help locate the Master's secret records, which he did along with his most powerful artifacts. The things you collected from the past will help me in this, but I need a drop of the City's magic. Will you bring me some artifacts?
The ritual is complete, and I'm amazed by what materialised in my hands! It's the Sphere of Events, an artifact that helped the Master travel back in time! I feel a powerful aura emanating from it. A power the likes of which I've never felt before. And here are the Master's records, which he hid along side the sphere. What do they say? Read fast!

A Wager on Diamonds
Isabelle
I think I know how to get solid proof that the lab's owner actually visited the past. Find the Order of the Bath that, according to the Master, he won from Admiral Nelson in a card game. If the order really is in the laboratory, we won't have any more reason to doubt that the Master is more than a simple collector of antiques.
The same legendary knight's cross of the Order of the Bath, which granted Nelson nobility and the rank of Rear Admiral! You actually found it! Now I have no doubt about it: The Master is a real time traveller!

Left-Handed Notebook
Detective
If the Master was the genius, crackpot scientist that I consider him to be, he could make a Philosopher's Stone entirely by himself. Look for something the Master couldn't create on his own or buy from collectors - something he could only pull from the past. Maybe an item belonging to a famous historical person, but was considered lost?
Whoa! These are the legendary records of Leonardo da Vinci! He made a lot of records using mirror writing, thereby encrypting the secrets of his inventions. After da Vinci's death, the records were scattered throughout Europe, and many were lost... The Master could only get his hands on them in the past!

Final touches
Huntress
My hands and feet are warmer, my ears are protected. But I can't just walk around in this winter cold without a coat, can I?
Did you find my coat? Let me see. It has a nice lining. The outer fabric keeps out the cold wind. It has a hood, too. It's a nice coat! Now you don't have to worry.
-
Highest warmth
Huntress
Those boots you're wearing aren't very long. You need to find something to protect your feet from the freezing cold. Fur gaiters would be good.
The fur gaiters are so much more stylish. They are warm and look great.
-
warm yarn
Huntress
It's so important to keep your feet warm. I have nice boots on, but I need to find some woolen socks too.
Yarn socks with pom-poms? That's new. But the important thing is that they're warm. Now is not the time to worry about looks.
-
fur that protects the ears
Huntress
Ears are sensitive to the cold. You'll need a hat or a pair of furry ear muffs to keep them from freezing.
Well, these earmuffs not only look warm, they are very stylish. I wish I had one of those. It's getting colder and colder.
-
warm hand
Huntress
I heard the story from the mayor. I heard that the Snow Queen has Santa Claus locked up. That's terrible! We have to save Santa Claus. He is the only one who can stand up to the Snow Queen and stop her plot to turn the world into an icy wilderness. Can you feel it? The cold is getting worse and worse. It's freezing, especially in the halls. We need to dress warmly if we are to accomplish this mission! Mittens first. It shouldn't be too hard to find them.
You found it! With these warm mittens, my hands won't get frostbite!

Santa's Pickles
Detective
Well, we found all the evidence. We even know who the killer is! But we still don't know what happened to Santa. Will we find out when we find the Christmas artifact?
The moment the evidence was combined with the Christmas artifact, the city of shadows showed the crime! In the swirling snow, the Grinch snuck into the hall while Santa's attention was momentarily diverted and opened the gate leading to the North Pole. From there, the Snow Queen emerged, trapped Santa in a block of ice, and whisked him away to her castle.

criminal profile
Detective
After laying out all the clues, I came to a conclusion. The culprit must be someone very close to Santa Claus! He must know his price very well, given this grand scheme. I bet we'll find the killer's image at the crime scene.
It's a Grinch doll wearing Santa boots and hat. Needless to say! The elves were so mad that their work wasn't appreciated that they tried to replace themselves by making Santa a dead man!

Christmas Tea Party
Detective
We know how the killer found Santa's house, but how did he do it? He's not just an old man. He's not someone you can easily twist with one hand. He has very strong magical powers. It's the Christmas spirit that countless children put into it. Let's find the killer's weapon.
Poisoned tea. ...... That's how the killer got Santa Claus! You wouldn't have drunk from this cup, would you? Santa must have blacked out after drinking the poison. And then the killer attacked.
-
Ways and Means
Detective
Reading this, it seems clear that the killer hates Santa and wants to replace him. He also has an accomplice. The "Mistress." So now we know the purpose and motive. But how did the killer get to Santa? He is not an easy man to find.
A child's letter to Santa Claus? I see! With the magic of Christmas, all letters addressed to Santa Claus will be sent straight to Santa! All the culprit has to do is follow the letters!
-
motive
Detective
Following the promise of every detective novel, the next step is to find out the killer's motive. Look for clues that might indicate a motive for this Christmas crime.
Snow globes? Are you trying to tell me that the killer wanted to get his hands on this? Yeah, I got it. It's another letter. "My world." So, we're saying that the killer's intentions are embodied here. He wants to take over the world. Don't you think?

Start of survey
Detective
This is amazing. Half of this gorgeous hall is covered with ice. It's so cold. And this place seems to have been abandoned by the Christmas spirit of kindness and warmth. Not even Grandpa Santa Claus in his rocking chair. There is no doubt that a crime has been committed using magical powers. Let's search everywhere and gather evidence that might help us find the culprit.
Wow! There's a needle stuck in a Santa figurine! The killer seems to really dislike this kind old man. ...... Look, there are words carved on the base. Why does everyone always pamper Santa Claus? It's his little assistant elf who does the work. ......" I can't read the rest.

Forbidden beauty
Detective
There is one more item that belies the talents of an excellent dancer. Buddy, I've heard about Mata Hari, the dancer who was also a spy. If I am not mistaken, there is one of her accessories in the mansion!
A beautiful oriental crown. Mata Hari lived in Indonesia. She was famous for her oriental mystical dances. Thanks, buddy. Now we have everything we need to save Julie!
-
Ritual Movement
Martha
The hand movement is one of the most unique aspects of dancing. Simona Alvarez, the "flamenco rose," had mastered it perfectly. Julie once complained about the roses in the ballroom. The rose that Alvarez had braided into her hair. You can find them, can't you?
The fiery red roses are the very incarnation of Simona Al-Arez's dance. It may seem simple, but it is the fire of sincerity and genuine passion that makes it unique.
-
Dance of the Rulers
Valerie
Not only professional dancers know how to dance. I once read that Queen Elizabeth I of England danced the Volta to perfection. It's a ballroom dance, with intricate moves. The mistress definitely has some item that belonged to that legendary queen. You'll have to find it.
What a glittering collar! It is truly fit for a queen. I don't know where the mistress got this, but I'm sure we could all do better.
-
point shoes
Detective
If you're in need of a famous dancer's belongings, I know what I'm looking for next. I think I've seen a showcase with ballet shoes somewhere in the mansion. They definitely belonged to someone famous. Can you help me find them?
Look, there's a label on the shoe. They belong to that beautiful ballerina, Lily Londer. I hope Julie's dancing will be as graceful as hers!
-
Nymph Accessories
Cardsharp
To make Juliette's dance truly great, you'll need to get items from the best dancers of each era, each of whom is imbued with a piece of their talent. Let's start with Isabella Danis's flower crown. The mistress of the mansion once had it in her collection.
In her dances, Danis encouraged a return to ancient traditions. That's why her crown is similar to that of the nymphs. I don't know about you, but the mistress has a talent for collecting rarities!
-
Hear My tone!
Alex
Our orchestra is still missing one small thing. We need a penetrating, resonant sound that attracts the listener. Trumpets are too rough, cornet is not loud enough... how about a flugelhorn? Find it.
The ordinary trumpet is too rough sounding, the gentle sound of the flugelhorn is what we need for the ball. Now we have all the instruments to play the magic waltz!
-
deeply emotive study
Detective
Will Julie dance for the ghosts soon? And when she does, will I finally get to hold her in my arms? But you know what's still missing from the orchestra? Density, emotion, power... yes, the bassoon! It's got it all. Buddy, go to the ballroom and find me a bassoon.
Now I've got a bassoon. I'm not particularly fond of classical music, but I swear, if this instrument will save Julie, I'll listen to Beethoven for a month!
-
read-base
Valerie
The orchestra definitely needs a cello. It would go well with Juliette's dancing. Alex said that bass sound is not only needed for rock music! Find the cellos in the mansion. Hold on Julie, I'll get the orchestra ready in a minute!
I've always loved the soft deep sound of the cello. Better than the squeaky sound of the violin! But maybe I just haven't met a great violinist?
-
soft rhythm
Mayor
Hurry up, or dear Juliette will be dancing for many more nights! Wouldn't the sound of the violin alone dampen the youth, beauty, and passion of the dancers? Something needs to soften that sound. My guess would be the clarinet.
Never judge an instrument by its appearance. The clarinet has this enveloping sound that fits any piece. Now we are one step closer to our goal.
-
A lament played by a bow
Martha
I have gathered excellent dances for Juliette, but how can I ask her to dance without music? To fulfill the ghost's request and free Juliette, we need to collect the instruments used in the best orchestra this city has ever seen. You must find the violin inside the ballroom. This instrument is called the queen of orchestras.
What a stunning old violin. Look at it. It is inscribed by the famous master craftsman Guarneri. If I am not mistaken, it is the very same one used by Niccolò Paganini!
-
The Mystery of Brown Skin
Alex
One remaining item will complete Juliette's dance. What's missing? Her eyes don't quite have the same enigma as those of the oriental temple dancers. And that brings me to what is needed. It's the ballet La Bayadere. It's set in India. See if my guess is correct.
You've done it again! This jug captures the warmth of La Bayadere's brown-skinned hands. This ballet piece itself is wonderful, too. It is a tragic love story between an Indian princess and a brave warrior.
-
Southern Night Passion
Detective
You don't think those three ballets are all that are performed around the world, do you? There's a Spanish passion poured into Juliette's dance. That fan in Don Quixote hides the Andalusian passionate gaze. That one would perfectly convey this important emotion, man. Would it be in the mansion?
Yes, this is the fan from Don Quixote! Do you feel this energy? I remember Juliette joking with this in her hand. That Don Quixote was a supporting character in the ballet. Oh, how I wish I could see her smile again!
-
Simply enjoy
Valerie
Julie's dancing has no emotion. It needs a carefree vivacity. When it comes to everyone's favorites, what could be better than Giselle? The lilies convey the right emotion. Find it!
Lilies from the ballet Giselle! Look at this wonderful flower! Gentle Giselle was a friend to everything in the world. She never thought that anyone could be up to something evil. You can see her image in Julie's dance!
