Welcome, conundrum lovers!
We have prepared a post highlighting one of the places you will get to explore together with Clef and intend to do more of these eventually (and maybe even cover all of the 8 locations that weren't included in the demo).
Hope you enjoy it!
Warning: some minor spoilers are inevitable in posts like these, but we promise to keep all the meaningful secrets hidden. 😉
So, let us invite you to the Underground Library!
While it's not the most anticipated place to find a library in, no room for doubt will remain once you step into these hallways. The caves you expected to see when going underground are not visible at all — instead, there's an ocean of bookcases all around you.
You know how the libraries in games are often full of decorations instead of any interactive objects that could be considered books? Well, we don't want to use that approach in Puzzles for Clef, even if we can't really write actual books and localize them into several languages. Thus, every bookcase will have something for you to check out, even if you won’t exactly have the capability of understanding the contents, haha. Apparently, some of the books will even be necessary for the puzzles and ciphers Cres has thought up for you!
Having a fancy librarian is also a must for any respectable library, right? Ours is not going to break such an important rule either! Mina, the reserved bookworm, is at your service! Need a recommendation? She will readily help you with any request, having read all the books here… a few times. Oh, and she is based on “bombyx mori”, or the domestic silk moth, if you’ve been wondering.
The four seasons from Clef’s world are overall quite different from our own, and you’ll be able to find out how they originated here in the Underground Library. Such precious myths just can’t be placed into some boring empty rooms, obviously, so each of those is accompanied by a special mural illustrating the respective story. Here’s one of those murals in a comparison of its sketch vs. final form:
See you in a month (hopefully)! Also, our Discord server is always available if you have any questions or simply feel like chatting with us! :3
P.S. Don't bother checking the N-th letter of every sentence in this post, that's an absolutely pointless affair.
