The Silent
Observatory

Three nights ago, the stars stopped singing — and the astronomer who kept their chart vanished from a locked dome.

You are Wren Halden, the night astronomer of the Silent Observatory.

Your mission is to restore the silenced sky-chart before dawn, chart the Long Night Comet, and learn why the stars went quiet.

Success looks like this: the dome opens, the comet is charted in the restored chart, and the observatory sings again — or, if you notice what others missed, you may choose a quieter ending instead. The timer only measures your play. Hints are free and cost rank only. Your notebook records every code and clue, so you never need to memorise anything.

Tap to play. Sound starts on your first tap. No account, no ads, no lives. Your progress saves on this device only.

Notebook

Every code and clue you have found. The final chart can be solved from these entries alone.

Hints — free, cryptic, rank only

Choose a puzzle in this room. Each tap reveals the next tier: nudge, then clue, then a strong hint. Hints never print a full answer.

Star Dial

Six constellations wait on the dial. The mural tells you which three bow, and in what order. Tap three in order.


Bookshelf

Five books stand out of order. The catalogue card gives the shelving rule. Tap the books in the right order.


Chart Table

Four sky marks wait to be traced. The margin note on the table gives their order. Tap four in order.


Wall Safe

Four digits. The prism light box shows the spectrum numbers that open it.


Shutter Levers

Pull the levers in the order the comet bends across the sky, as seen through the telescope. Four pulls.


Through the Telescope

The eyepiece is in place. The night is deep and mostly dark. Something faint waits at the edge of the field — and the comet burns bright across it.

Great Orrery

Three gears, each with four marked positions. The plaque tells you where Sun, Moon and Star should rest. Tap a gear to turn it, then check.

Gear I (Sun): 0   Gear II (Moon): 0   Gear III (Star): 0


Pendulum Clock

Set the hands to the hour the stars went quiet, as written in Vane's log. Then check.

Time: 12:00


Desk Drawer

Four digits. The year the dome first opened is written in the library books and in Vane's log.


Star Globe

Turn the globe until the Comet faces the window. The window side is marked in the study.

Facing: North

Finale Console — The Restored Chart

Six glyphs, each etched with a number in its own room. Your notebook holds them all. Tap the glyphs in etched-number order, smallest first.


The quiet button only appears if you found Vane's hidden page and looked closely at the faint star.
