Chosen so far: —
You are Samira Cole, the bookshop's evening helper.
Your mission is to close up the shop for the night, find out where owner Mara Ellison went, and recover the missing book before morning.
It is raining. Mara left hours ago and never came back. One shelf on the shop floor is conspicuously empty — a single gap, dust undisturbed everywhere else. What book is missing, why did Mara leave, and what was that book hiding?
Tap objects to examine them. Tap an inventory item to select it, then tap where to use it. Your notebook records every code and clue automatically. Hints are free and only affect your rank. The timer only measures your play — it never runs out.
