## Introduction

Story background

 **Book:** |    No one believed that there could be survivors in the Upper City. For many years, this area of the City was separated from the main part by the Rift, and later, after the Distortion, by the fog. People here see me as their saviour, but can I restore the delicate balance in a world where people fight against an intangible enemy? Will I find my friend, Jacob, lighting the way with dimming anti-fog lamps?

## Start an investigation

### Impelled Conversation

 **Book:** |     The case is unlocked revealing the first stage.

But Mr. Black has grown even more suspicious of everyone. As if he wasn't already...

If you give him a reason to think you have malicious intent, neither I or Rayden will be able to help you.
Good luck! I believe in you.

## Stages of Investigations - Stage 1

### Justify Your Arrival

**Collection name:** City's Answers

**Items in collection:** Boarding Pass, Slot Machine Token, Collector's Invention, "Robot's Heart" Medallion, Watch of Two Worlds

**Assembled item:** Photos of the Missing.

**First Question**

#### Third Question

So, you sent the signal using the slot machines. But how did it overcome the fog? For a signal to reach the Upper City, there must be a receiver...

#### Fourth Question

I know that the trust the Order's members have in each other has been shaken, for there is a traitor among us. But we must help the people of the City and not squabble amongst ourselves. Let's forget the old wars and unite in search of the City's chosen one. We all need them!

I left a message before leaving my home. If someone from the Newbies can get into my house, bypassing the lock, and revive the robot, then this person is truly chosen by the City. Our duty as the Order of the Five is to help them with anything.

 **Mr. Black:** |     The Collector's letter was there the whole time! No one noticed it but you... Well, I admit that you are closely connected to the City.

So the Collector was waiting for you. He's smart enough to have predicted that we'd fly to City Hall by airship after receiving the signal.

This letter gives a lot of evidence in your favour. But I'm still not a hundred percent sure about you.

#### Fifth Question

We need to make sure the title of Mystery Solver isn't just empty words. If you are chosen by the City, it will reveal information that nobody knows to only you! Where is the Collector now? Where did he go?

Kira and I came across this phenomenon when we flew in the airship.

On the Collector's watch, the Upper City dial is active, while the Lower City one is not. This means he's here now! But how can that be?

#### Final Question

But I have one more question. To answer it, you'll have to ket the forces of the City look into your heart.
I suggest you get a bunch of artifacts and remember: the City won't allow you to lie.

As soon as the Transfiguration Box opens, we will know the answer...
Is it this photo? So everything you do is for this person?

 **Mr. Black:** |     This face seems familiar... Yes, that's it! I saw documents relating to this person in the Security Service's archives.

You've answered all my questions and deserve... almost deserve my trust. You're allowed to move freely around the Upper City.

I'll even give you the information we have about this person. But for this, you'll have to help me in the investigation.

Your serach abilities will come in handy. Besides, I can't give you the information just now, because the archive is covered by the fog.

#### New Investigation

Want to know what exactly happened here? I'll tell you, but first I'll check everything again. The post office is safe, but extra caution won't hurt. Let's close all the windows and avoid spreading rumours around the City...

Collector's last crystals stolen! Mr. Black's oversight or unknown thief's deftness?

Last night, anti-fog lamp crystals were stolen. It has been revealed that the Head of the Security Service, Mr. Black, has already started the investigation.

 **Mr. Black:** |     That damn newspaper! I don't know who prints it, but every morning it appears with the latest news. Someone found out after all...

Now you know as well. Only special lamps can protect the City from the fog. They use the crystals, the last of which have been stolen.

The situation is critical. I already have a suspect, but due to sabotage or an oversight, the fog got into the room where he was being kept.

We can't get there without anti-fog lamps, but we don't have any. Looks like we're at a dead end... What? Make a new lamp? Can you?

## Stages of Investigations - Stage 2

### Protect yourself from the fog

**Collection name:** Anti-Fog Protection

**Items in collection:** Lamp Drawing, Lamp Frame,Special Glass, Lamp Cover, Crystal Stand

**Assembled item:** Anti-Fog Lamp.

#### Lamp's Heart

Soon we'll be able to go to the Lamplighter's Workshop's second floor where the suspect is being contained so we can interrogate him.

I'm increasingly convinced that your abilities will be very helpful in this investigation. Our safety depends directly on the outcome.

We have to recover the stolen crystals, otherwise the fog will swallow the whole City. Surely you won't leave it to chance?

#### Assembling the Lamp

I'll assemble the lamp for you. I need tools, though - I can't do it with my bare hands. Will you find them?

 **Report:** | Case 0606
Theft of the Anti-Fog Crystals

Report

 **Mr. Black:** |     Well, your memory was bad before the incident. It seems the fog and your head trauma have made you completely unable to speak coherently.

 **Mr. Black:** |     We need to find out what really happened that night!

## Stages of Investigations - Stage 3

### Learn what happened on the night of the theft

**Collection name:** Lampligher's Case

**Items in collection:** Vintage Slide Projector, Access List, Tape Recorder, Reel, Locked Safe

**Assembled item:** Opened Safe

#### Motive

Let's start with the motive. Look for something to determine it.

#### Opportunity to Steal

He knew where the crystals were, but I didn't tell him the combination to teh safe. Did Carlos find it out? Look for the Access List, and we'll see...

Have you noticed any marks on the items you found?

There's a two written on one of the slides, and I can see a four on the access list. I suppose these numbers will eventually play a role.

#### Vindication Opportunity

My body is full of bruises, and my head is in a mist...
I remember! On patrols, I always take my Tape Recorder. Find it, the records will shed light on this case.

#### Unexpected Find

Let's look around: maybe there's a box of reels somewhere. Surely the one we need will be among them.

#### Tricky Lock

I know how to open the box of tape recording reels: I helped Carlos make it. As I recall, a copy of the key was made for the Security Service. If we're lucky, it may still be in the post office.

#### Crucial Recording

The box is full of reels. It'll take time to find the right one. Your help wouldn't hurt.

\*shouts, sounds of fighting\*

Female voice: "He passed out. Don't kill him, she won't like it. The fog will erase his memory for us." \*sound of approaching footsteps\*
Male voice: "It's done. We have the crystals. The noise you made distracted Black from the post office. What happened?"

Female voice: "A lamplighter... Don't worry though: he won't remember us. Come on..."
 **Carlos Light:** |     The tape got jammed! Quickly, stop the tape recorder before it tears! I'll try to unwind and decrypt it.

The recording refreshed my memory a little. For some reason, I didn't go the usual route, and then I ran into the crystal thieves.

But if I knew I was going into the fog, I would have left a sign for myself to remember everything later... At least, I think so.
Look, there really is a mark on my hand, or rather a blurry spot! Maybe this is a sign?

#### Marked by a Sign

Look, the same sign is depicted on that wall. Maybe there's something there? Let's take a look.

The numbers on the items you found will be useful here - the two on the slide and the four on the access list! Carlos recalls something...

He says he deliberately hid the safe's code! He foresaw everything! Hurry, write down the numbers! We should be able to crack the code!

#### Assemble the collection: Opened Safe (Collection: Lamplighter's Case)

Now we only need to finally confirm or deny Carlos Light's participation in the incident. So, what's inside the safe...

 **Letter:** | Rumor has it that a dangerous person has appeared in the City. All we know is that it's a woman, who simply goes by the name of Miss.

It seems that Miss has associates, and they plan to do something with anti-fog crystals.

Destroy them? Steal them? \*illegible writing\*

Does Miss know where the crystals are hidden?

 **Mr. Black:** |     Carlos Light's records didn't clarify past events, but they gave us new clues. Mr. Carlos innocent - now I'm almost certain of it.

 **Mr. Black:** |     Talk sense, Storke! Kira is one of my people. I trust her almost as much as I trust myself... And certainly more than any of you.

Also, Kira was on the airship at the atim, as were you.
Enough of that, it's time for the tape. Carlos, is the transcript ready?
 **Recording transcript:** | \*unintelligible speech\*

Male voice: "...dress up, the elite drop by there."
\*unintelligible speech\*

Female voice: "...slip through with homemade knives. Leave out the guns, no weapons are allowed there."
\*unintelligible speech\*

Male voice: "I wish I could go there sooner. I want a coffee..."
\*unintelligible speech\*

Female voice: "...sings like a siren. Maybe it's the microphone?"
 **Kira Woodville:** |     Well, the tape recording Carlos Light has unwound is quite fragmented. But we still need to understand where the thieves went.

I know how your status as the City's chosen one can help us out. Here's what we'll do...

We'll collect all the items mentioned in the recording and ask the City to indicate the place to which they're connected. Okay?

## Stages of Investigations - Stage 4

### Find out where the criminals went

**Collection name:** Hot on the Trail

**Items in collection:** Technician's Monocle, Precious Cufflinks, Homemade Weapon, Coffee Maker, Microphone

**Assembled item:** Cabaret Poster

#### Scavenger's Gathering Place

On the tape, they were talking about the "gathering place for scavengers". Scavengers are a special group in the City who go through the fog. They're known for their inventions. By the way, I had a stalker monocle somewhere...

#### Place for the Elite

Well, in that case, let's find something expensive.

#### Place Without Weapons

I know these kind of knives. Search for them in the post office amongst the confiscated items.

#### Place with Beautiful Songs

We're looking for a place where the scavengers and the elite gather, where weapons aren't allowed, where music plays and where coffee is served.

We could, of course, just go through all possible places, but since you have a special connection to the City, let's use it. Ready?

#### Assemble the collection: Cabaret Poster (Collection: Hot on the Trail)

No one is allowed to bring weapons there or start an altercation, hmm, even me.

I guess we shouldn't rush to such a place right now. We need to prepare first.

## End of The Investigation

#### Receive Your Reward: Mysterious Stained Glass

Mr. Black is already making preparations. By the way, he asked me to give you a small reward.

Reduces the energy required to enter locations and mini-games by 50%. Lasts for 12 hours.
