More about this game
Your goal is to reclaim your missing shadow over three days in a mysterious town. Each day, you explore the family house and clock chapel to find clues, then solve a three-dial lock to recover a memory. You must also manage your shadow's trust; asking for hints or forcing it to help lowers trust, while listening to it builds trust. The run ends after the third midnight, where your collected memories, trust level, and final choice determine which of the four endings you receive.
Tips
- Read the chapel inscriptions carefully; they provide essential rules for solving the dial puzzles, like reversing directions or subtracting time.
- Building trust with your shadow by listening to it can unlock a secret area if your trust reaches the required level.
- Avoid taking the keeper's shortcut in the chapel, as it costs trust and gives you a borrowed memory instead of a true one.
FAQ
- How do I solve the first day's puzzle?
- The clue says SUN faces EAST, BIRD faces NORTH, DOOR faces WEST. The chapel plaque says shadows answer in the opposite direction. Set the dials to WEST, SOUTH, and EAST.
- What happens if my shadow's trust drops below zero?
- If trust is low, your shadow becomes withdrawn and refuses to give free help or hints. A low trust level also leads to the Shadow Betrayal ending if you try to save it.
- How do I get the secret 13th ending?
- You must find the secret area by keeping trust high, recover all three true memories without using the keeper's shortcut, and choose to speak Rin's name at the end.
