Rules of the game
You are holding in your hands a new kind of game book. In order to have the best possible gaming experience, here are some rules to follow:
This book does not read in the traditional way and the pages are ordered in a specific way.
Do not turn the page unless you are clearly told to do so.
At the beginning and end of the book you will find two strange bookmarks. Detach them carefully from the flap and keep them with you. They will be useful in various situations. You will have to check the boxes on them from time to time.
You will regularly find numbers, hidden or not, and in many different forms. You can also find numbers as the result of a puzzle. These numbers tell you which page to go to in order to continue your game. When you arrive at a page, you will find one or more numbers with an arrow in the upper left-hand corner. These numbers should correspond to the page numbers that have brought you to this point. If they don't, you've made a mistake and must retrace your steps by going back to the previous pages.
Some puzzles may require you to manipulate the book or bookmarks.
You are free to bend, tear, pierce, twist or write on these items to solve these mysteries. You can also use the back of the bookmarks or even the pages of the book to take notes.
The last two pages of the book are sealed because they contain the clues and solutions to the puzzles. Only open them if you get stuck or want to enjoy the story without dwelling on the puzzles.
Some tips
To keep your game experience intact, we recommend that you do not flip through the book while solving the puzzles.
Unlike most escape games, there is no time limit here. You are free to take as long as you need to solve the puzzles.
Sometimes it's good to take a break during your adventure. You can use the bookmarks to mark your progress.
You can try to solve all of the puzzles alone, but having the eyes of several people is sometimes helpful in getting out of a complicated situation.
To solve all the puzzles in this book, you need nothing more than your brain and a pen. However, you are free to use your phone, your internet connection or any other tool at your disposal to help you.
