DESCRIPTION: A short knowledge-based progression game where you’ll gradually discover systems that were hidden in plain sight from the very beginning. Journey from an occultist island and the oriental lands of a mysterious duke to an extravagant masquerade hosted by a mad king. No stats, no log, no savefiles. Only pure knowledge is your progress.

Inspired by the great mystery puzzle games like OW, this game is solodeveloped by me so it's much smaller and simpler, but the multiple puzzle revelations will surprise you in a very similar way.

The game combines linear design with open areas with different possible routes. By exploring and trying to understand the systems around you, you will gain new hidden abilities and uncover new paths to progress deeper into the mysteries.
