Tutorial
The game starts with a mask in a glass case and a black box.
Following the tutorial, focus in on the black box and lift the latch to open it.
Tapping on the Folded Key in the box will place it in your inventory on the right. Tap it again to look at it.
Flip the key to look at the back and rotate the handle at its top to transform it into a key.
Glass case puzzle
Rotate the screen until you're facing the back of the glass case to reveal a puzzle.
Rotate the mechanism in the center until both of the blue sliders can move forward a space.
Then rotate the mechanism until one of the blue sliders can be pushed into the center of the puzzle.
Repeating the last step with the other blue slider reveals a keyhole.
Insert it and rotate it 360 degrees to open the case. This will prompt a cutscene, after which you will get the instructions to explore.
Unlocking Chapter 1
Look around until you see a side room. The side room contains three sections—a clock on the left, a suit of armor in the center, and a device with a magical blue light on the right. You'll want to head to the device on the right.
Tapping on the device will open it in your inventory.
Once it expands, tap the token in the center to grab it.
Add this token to the center of the pedestal in the main room.
This will open one of the strange doors, allowing you to enter Chapter 1, titled "Initium".
First room puzzles
Box slider puzzle
Entering Chapter 1 places you in a room with two boxes on a table.
Rotate the screen to see a green slider on the right side of the box.
Push the slider to the right to unlock a small compartment.
Rotate each of the circles inside the compartment until their gaps align, revealing a second slider.
Pulling that slider extends the right side of the box, revealing a third slider on its side.
Push the gold slider on the bottom to the left.
Slide the brown drawer on the bottom up to get a key.
Key lock puzzle
With the key in your inventory, head to the left side of the big box.
Inserting and rotating the key will remove the lock.
Open the doors to get a Mechanical Disk.
Mechanical Disk puzzle
Open the Mechanical Disk in your inventory.
Tap each section to rotate them until they look like the image below.

Small metal box puzzle
Focus on the top of the smaller metal box on the table's left side.
This will flip the top, unlocking a gray handle.
Pull the grey handle to the front to open the box, which contains a Sphere. Tap it to place it in your inventory.
Top of the box
At the top of the box is a spherical hole surrounded by a gold rim with two green sliders.
Rotate the sliders around until they stop, after which they will spin around by themselves and the center will rotate.
Place the Sphere into the center
Rotate the eye so that it faces the inside of the box.
Clockface puzzle
With the eye rotated inwards, look at the back of the clock.
Rotate the left dial until its four circles cover the red glowing circles on the clock. You'll know it's correct when the red circles glow yellow on the inside.
Rotate the right dial so that its circle covers the final red circle at the bottom.
This will open the clockface, revealing a small door in the center.
Door puzzle
Before starting on the puzzle, rotate the platform the door is on. The symbols on the back of the door show where the symbols on the front should be.
On the front door, push all of the sliders towards the outside. Pressing the green button will rotate each one clockwise one space.
When a slider is in the correct place, slide it inside to lock it in place.
When the sliders are in the same places designated on the back, push them all in place to complete the puzzle.
Completing the puzzle opens up the door, revealing a new puzzle.
Mannequin room puzzle
Inside the magical door is a mannequin holding a locket on a chain.
Focus on the locket to see two flower-shaped sliders.
Push one slider to the left and one to the right to unlock the locket. Opening it up will give you a Strange Compass.
Compass puzzle
Focus on the front of the box.
Add the Strange Compass to its center to unlock the map.
To solve the puzzle, you need to move the globe around until the compass surrounds a circular sun symbol. To help you find it, the lights on the compass will turn green as you get closer.
This opens the map, giving you a Strange Bear Sigil.
Grabbing the sigil will return you to the main room. The first door will close, but the second will open.
Room 2 puzzles
Box back slider puzzle
Entering the second door reveals a starry-themed clock.
On the back of the clock is a simple rotating puzzle.
Rotate the disks at the top and bottom until they cannot be seen.
Left drawer puzzle
On the left side of the clock, stop the gear when it faces the top. This allows you to grab a Mechanical Wheel on the bottom.
Now look at the handle to the left of the clock.
Pull up the handle to lift up the compartment, revealing a drawer.
Open the drawer to reveal a strange contraption.
Place the Mechanical Wheel on top of the drawer.
Rotate the Mechanical wheel to remove the contraption from the door, allowing you to grab a Handle.

Right box puzzle
On the right side of the puzzle is a square puzzle with a handle above it and two small sliders on either side.
Pull the handle to open up the puzzle. Before going on, you'll need to get two Small Handles to make the sliders functional.
To get the first Small Handle, look towards the top of the box.
Rotate the gear beneath the blue lid to unlock a compartment containing the Small Handle.
The next Small Handle is hidden in the stack of books on the table. Tap on a book to throw it to the side.
At the bottom of the stack is a locked Book item.
Open the Book in your inventory. Move the slider to the left edge, which will allow you to move the golden lock.
Opening the book reveals a Small Handle hidden within it.
Now the two Small Handles can be added to the sliders on the puzzle.
The left slider should be one to two spaces from the bottom while the right slider should be two to three spaces from the left. This unlocks a compartment containing a Metal Disk.
Back gear puzzle
Return to the back of the box.
Add the Metal Disk to the lower circular gap.
Pull the handle down to slide the gear to the bottom. This will open up a section at the base of the box.
Place the Handle into the circular hole at the top of the section.
Rotate the handle until the gaps in the three sections align above a red object.
A strange doll will rise from the table.
Spin the doll around and grab the Small Key from its back.
Hammer puzzle behind clockface
Focus on the clockface at the front of the box.
Add the Small Key to the hole at the bottom of the clock face.
This flips the clock face, revealing a puzzle similar to whack-a-mole. The goal is to tap the blue button at the bottom when the red segment of the mechanism aligns with one of the red symbols on the clock. When the hammer hits them properly, the symbols will be filled with blue gem-like material.
When all of the symbols are filled with blue, the puzzle will be completed.
Completing the puzzle causes a spyglass to drop from the ceiling.
Clockface puzzle
Begin by using the spyglass to look around the room. The hint for the clock hands is found on the floating pocket watch near the front of the box.
On the left side of the box, a glowing symbol like a trident can be seen floating around in circles.
The last hint is the Cancer symbol, which can only be seen when the doll in the back moves and removes its hat.
Return to the clock face. Move the clock hands to mimic the pocket watch, rotate the circle to the upper right of the hands to show the trident symbol, and rotate the bottom left circle so that the arrow points at the Cancer symbol.
This will remove you from the second room and unlock the third room of the first chapter.
