Opening (Season 1)

## Story

What is hiding in the vestiges of the mines? What does the charismatic founder of corporate JONACO really seek in this sleepy town? Was the Blimp Crash really just an accident?

The Festival of the Phantom Peak is in full swing, marking the first time that the town opens its doors to outsiders like you. Jonas and his company, JONACO, have taken great care to ensure you enjoy your stay!

Back when Phantom Peak was called Phantom Deeps, it suffered a horrible fate. Its mayor at the time, Dr. Joylon S. Furbish, disappeared in a freak blimp accident that destroyed half of the Old Town. But thanks to JONACO, Phantom Deeps rose from the ashes! The new, refurbished part of town became Phantom Peak, and the Blimp Crash became little more than a memory.

In the shining new town, you’ll find beautiful canals, exciting carnival games, delicious food stands, and the latest JONACO technology, of course. It is the perfect place to take a stroll and enjoy some sightseeing.

You’re free to explore the Old Town (or what’s left of it) if you wish, but you’ll only find shadows of the past and a few outcasts united under the banner of the old Miramine Co-operative. Still, these people claim that not everything in Phantom Peak is as pretty as JONACO makes it seem…

Will you take the town at face value and enjoy Phantom Peak’s avant-garde design, or will you dig deeper in search of the truth?

 **05 - Blimp Fuel Melts Wooden Beams** You hear of a secret film that's making its way around the back alleys and noticeboard of Phantom Peak: the supposed truth behind the notorious Blimp Crash. There must be a copy of the poster, somewhere - perhaps on one of the town noticeboards.
