Summaries[]

The Devil in Velvet

Using Robin's death as an excuse, Aventurine invites you to collaborate with him in bringing down The Family. It is not coercion, but a temptation with the promise of gain. Although he leaves you with enough room to decide, you know that one should not be hasty when it comes to decision-making.

Lost Generation

The Crew arrived safely at the Golden Hour and exchanged info with you. At this same moment, a dark tide in the dream had begun to surge...

Double Indemnity

Aventurine initially planned to use the two murders as an excuse to retrieve the Cornerstone that contains the power of Preservation, but the Oak Family head unexpectedly turned the tables on him and hit him with a death sentence.
With little left but his meager life and a pouch of useless gems, Aventurine left Dewlight Pavilion. There was but an infinitesimally small chance at survival, but Aventurine nonetheless believed he still held the reins of control...

When the Sacred Ginmill Closes

Just as the investigation came to a dead end, you fortuitously ran into Topaz at the hotel lobby and successfully stumbled upon another clue — Gallagher, the Bloodhound Family's security officer. He seemed to have plenty of intel and said he wished to talk at another location.

Heaven is a Place on Earth

Aventurine scattered the gems, and finally — just as he hoped — got the Masked Fool, Sparkle to take the bait. After repeatedly confirming a certain key clue with Sparkle, Aventurine, self-assured of his imminent success, made his way to Clock Studios Theme Park...

Why Do the Heathen Rage?

The peculiarity of the two murders in the dream stump even the usually quick-witted Bloodhound Family, who couldn't seem to find any useful clues. But Gallagher was seemingly convinced that dream mogul, the Watchmaker, was definitely linked to the murders, and revealed a shocking truth to everyone:
The Watchmaker's true identity was not some renowned, respectable mega-mogul, but someone framed as a "traitor" by The Family.

The Tell-Tale Heart

Welt and Acheron reached an accord to head to Dewlight Pavilion and obtain evidence of The Family brewing a conspiracy, but their carelessness got them caught in a trap set up by the Oak Family head. Fortunately, Sunday could be reasoned with, and escorted the both of them to safety after professing The Family's absolute innocence in the matter.

All the Sad Tales

Aventurine was about to complete the final step of his plan on the Clock Studios Theme Park stage. Along the way, he met phantoms from the past and future...

A Walk Among the Tombstones

The Crew was reunited once more and secured Acheron's promise of aid. After analyzing various information, you all determined that The Family was concealing a blood-curdling truth. Aventurine, who was long aware of it, crafted an intricate plan and made the decision to manipulate you all to be his executioner while he played puppeteer. Ultimately, your hand was forced, and you confronted Aventurine, an ironic element in his grand scheme:
Aventurine orchestrated his own martyr's death, shattering the illusion of promise made by The Family that the safety of the guests was guaranteed. It also uncovered two startling truths — The Family had intentionally concealed the harrowing dangers of dreams, and Acheron's true identity, as an Emanator of the Nihility.
