Republic of Vestina · Text-Based Detective Mystery
Case No. VST-01
Letters from the Fading Garden
For the second day, the Arnaud family mansion has been searched for its missing owner—Marguerite Arnaud, a renowned art historian and collector. Her study is locked, and all that was found on her desk was an unfinished letter, a stack of old documents, and an encrypted notebook.
- How It Works: The investigation consists of four stages. Each new stage is unlocked on a different day rather than all at once, giving you time to return to the case, examine the clues, and think through the puzzles.
- If You’re a Guest: Before you begin, we’ll ask for your name and email address. You’ll receive a short code by email, which will save your progress and restore it when you return the next day on the same device.
- If You’re a Citizen of Vestina: Simply log in to your personal account—your progress will be saved automatically, with no forms to fill out. And once you fully solve the case, a digital award will appear in your account.
