Mechanism

Every machine hides another secret. The city never truly stops moving.

Rules

Investigate the City

Search hidden districts, workshops, and underground stations for clues. Explore forgotten neighborhoods, abandoned workshops, and underground stations in search of hidden evidence. Every location hides new secrets, and careful observation often reveals pathways or clues that others would easily overlook.
Solve Mechanical Puzzles

Activate gears, pressure systems, elevators, and rotating pathways. Operate intricate mechanical systems by activating gears, pressure mechanisms, elevators, and rotating bridges. Every successful puzzle changes the environment, opening new routes and bringing you one step closer to the truth.
Follow Witness Testimonies

Each person you meet knows a piece of the puzzle, but nobody has the whole picture. Speak with mysterious citizens whose memories and stories reveal fragments of a much larger mystery. Every conversation offers valuable clues, but you'll need to connect the pieces yourself.
Unlock Restricted Areas

Restore broken machines to access hidden sectors. Repair damaged mechanisms and reactivate forgotten machinery to unlock sealed passages and restricted districts. Bringing old systems back to life reveals entirely new areas waiting to be explored.
Reconstruct Lost Memories

Collect artifacts connected to the missing citizens.
Gather personal belongings, mechanical relics, and forgotten keepsakes linked to those who vanished.
Each artifact uncovers another fragment of the story and helps restore memories lost to time.
