- Agatha’s Request - 12 December 2025
Oh hello there! Pleasure to meetcha! I’m Agatha. Look, I’m in a bit of a hurry, so I’ll be brief. I’ve been looking at the sky (as I always do, don’t look at me like that). And there was a peculiar thing! You know falling stars right? A wound on the sky that heals in seconds? I’ve seen one recently, but it wasn’t like the others. A second scar formed in its own direction. A part broke off! And fell here somewhere, on the earth! Don’t even think it, it’s mine, I saw it first. I want my very own star fragment. Look, I need your help. I’ve been searching for weeks now, but to no avail. Help me find it! I’ll leave my journal with you, it might assist you on the search. Bring me my star fragment, and perhaps we can work out a trade? I have my own rewards that might interest you… I have a little treasure of my own. It’s a box with something. I never opened it actually! It says “CRITICAL REFLE…
- Presenting Inkblood! - 4 December 2025
Coming straight to you from PC Gaming Show… What lurks deep in these woods and valleys? Inquisitor #0134! Strange happenings were reported from Inqburg. Someone (or something) places unknown marks, brutally murders locals, and leaves sites of blasphemous rituals behind. The Inquisition suspects a new cult is at play. Your predecessor has disappeared under mysterious circumstances, and this task is your responsibility now. Do not fail us like he did. A piece of advice for this investigation: Search every corner: you will be provided an autonomous carriage, outfitted with the best inventions the Inquisition has to offer along with a new coachman. Travel freely to points of interest and collect clues as you see fit. Inquisition cares not how and when, as long as your theory is strong. The only restriction is that you cannot step outside. Photograph evidence: capture photos of important pla…
