If you get stuck, here are some tips for you:
Also, join our Discord to get help or just chat about the game.
You can find the controls in the Settings section of the game. Keep in mind, that you can play with a mouse or with a gamepad – no need to restart the game of change any settings, just connect gamepad and start playing with it!
You play as Milda and at first we see a computer screen with the character creation tab open. To progress, Milda first needs to “Create a character”.
After she's done with her avatar and clicks “create”, she receives a character creation email and a few seconds later, a computer voice call from Dana.
During the conversation with Dana a doorbell rings. Milda quickly says goodbye and stands up. You can now control Milda in her apartment. The doorbell continues to ring until Milda opens the door. Once Milda opens the door, a mailman gives Milda a letter and leaves. Milda learns that her grandfather has died and she is the only heir to his house in Lithuania.
At any point after Milda is done talking with Dana and has picked up the letter from the mailman, she can leave to the Cloud Gate (the Bean), if the right conditions have been met:
Milda meets Dana near the Cloud Gate (the Bean). Dana is stressed as she is about to meet with a possible investor for her artwork.
Dana and Milda discuss the inheritance letter and Dana tries to convince Milda to go to Lithuania and get the house that her grandfather left her. Milda complains about the money for the trip and Dana offers to give some money if they manage to convince a businessman Alfred to support her exhibition.
As Milda and Dana finish their chat, one of the lightest painting is blown off by the wind. Dana asks Milda to make sure everything's in order.
Milda has to put up the blown off painting. Milda can pick up the painting but it won’t stay up. Milda needs to talk to Dana about it, who rambles about Alfred and mentions she has chewing gum. Milda can ask Dana to give her the chewing gum.
Now Milda needs to pick the painting up, and secure it with chewing gum. Regular chewing gum won’t stick so Milda has to chew it first. Then you need to use the chewed gum on the painting, thus the painting is secure. After that, Alfred comes in and starts talking to Dana.
Dana introduces Milda to Alfred and the three of them begin to have a conversation about business. Milda’s final goal is to get Alfred to fund Dana’s exhibitions. Milda has to make sure that Alfred is satisfied and all conditions are met.
The first two things Alfred complains about and two puzzles that can be solved simultaneously:
Milda needs to buy some refreshing lemonade. She can do that by talking to the lemonade girl. If Milda wants to buy the lemonade, she needs coins, because the lemonade girl doesn’t take cards. She can asks Dana for coins, once she needs them (after attempting to buy lemonade at least once). Once you have acquired the coins, you need to use them on the lemonade girl to buy lemonade. After buying the lemonade, Milda has to give it to Alfred.
Alfred complains that he can't focus while the music is playing. Milda can ask the trumpeter to stop playing but he refuses. In order to silence the trumpeter you must pour lemon juice on the trumpet (which can be acquired in PROLOGUE PUZZLE 3.1). Milda learns that the lemonade that the girl scout sells is made from very sour lemons that “make your mouth shrink”. After Milda gets the lemon juice, she has to pour it on the trumpet. Timed puzzle. Milda has to put coins into the trumpeter’s case. He walks to pick them up, and Milda has to pour the juice in the trumpet while musician is distracted. After she successfully does that, the trumpeter stops playing.
Milda asks to buy the lemon juice from the girl scout but she refuses to sell so Milda has to convince her that she likes sour lemon juice. To do that, Milda has to chew the gum, that numbs her mouth. Timed puzzle. After chewing the gum, Milda’s mouth becomes numb, which fades off over time. Milda has to drink the lemon juice as a challenge during that time to successfully prove to the girl scout that she likes sour taste. After that Milda can buy the sour lemon juice from the girl with coins.
When the trumpeter stops playing and Alfred has gotten a drink, he agrees to continue talking to Dana and Milda. Alfred says that Dana needs:
Milda needs to print the fliers that Dana sent her.
To print the fliers Milda has to go home, open her computer, open the mail tab – click on Dana's letter – click to print one of the attachments. After the fliers are printed, you can pick them up from the printer.
Milda has to bring Alfred the right kind of flier. She can guess that from the clothes he’s wearing. He’s wearing pink, so the pink flier is the right one.
Milda has to get dressed the same as in Dana's artwork. To see that in game, you needs to examine the flier from the inventory (it is also visible in the email).
When speaking to Alfred, Milda is hinted by Alfred that he's disappointed in Milda's change of style if Milda doesn't wear what she was wearing in the artwork as a model for Dana. Milda may return home to change as needed. The correct clothes are these (the hairstyle doesn’t matter):
Once all the conditions are met, Alfred agrees to fund Dana. He leaves and Dana suggests she and Milda celebrate and prepare for Milda’s trip to Lithuania. Milda can freely walk around the Bean for now, or she can go straight home for the next part.
Milda talks to Dana about the trip, what needs to be prepared. To proceed Milda needs to do the following:
Milda needs to pack the items for the trip. The puzzle is on Milda’s phone, in the “Notes” section. Milda needs to pack 5 things and make sure she gets all the essentials. Some items have very similar qualities, so only one of those should be taken.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION (as there are more than one): (1) one pair of shoes, (2) shorts OR jeans, (3) earphones OR headphones, (4) documents, (5) toiletries.
Milda has to text Joris to arrange coming to Lithuania. To proceed you need to open the phone menu and go to the messages section.
Milda needs to call her mother, to tell her that grandfather has died and that she’s going to Lithuania. To proceed you need to open the phone menu and go to the calls section. The choices during the call determines Milda’s relationship with her mother for the rest of the game.
Once Milda does all of this, she can talk to Dana and they agree that Milda is ready for the trip. Ending cutscene starts which transitions to Act 1.
Milda arrives from Chicago to her grandfather’s house. Strangely, she finds the door unlocked. Once she goes inside the house, it is dark and the light switch doesn’t work. Milda needs to go back outside and get electricity back on.
Milda needs to use the keys from the grandfather’s house, that she has in her inventory, to unlock the fusebox. Then she can enter a close up – mini game. You need to solve the fusebox puzzle to get the light back on.
Solution: ↑←↓←↑↓
Milda then goes inside and turns on the light using the lightswitch. The whole kitchen is trashed and Milda hears footsteps and a window crashing in the other room. If she tries to investigate it, the door to the other room is blocked. Milda needs to go back outside, where she notices a broken window. Milda climbs through the window to grandpa’s bedroom.
When Milda enters the room, there’s a walkie talkie on the ground, through which someone keeps talking. When Milda picks it up and answers, the person on the other side seems to know Milda and tells her to give him some kind of documents. Milda doesn’t know what he’s talking about but she still refuses to give anything to him. She realizes though that whatever it is, must be important, so she keeps looking around.
Scattered around the house, there are 5 blank pages:
In one of the drawers in the bedroom Milda also finds a bottle of Invisible ink, which suggests that perhaps the pages aren’t blank after all. The ink is made from strong alcohol and lemon juice and to be visible, needs to be heated.
There’s an oil lamp in the bedroom that Milda needs to light up. She needs to pick up a bottle of kerosene from the cupboard in the kitchen and a lighter from the oven. Using the kerosene and the lighter Milda lights up the lamp.
Using the blank pages on the lamp opens up a mini game, where you need to find the right pages, on which there’s text and putting them all together reveals a letter from Milda’s grandfather. In the letter there’s a poem and a note from grandfather, telling Milda to check the hollow in the tree in the garden.
In order to get to the tree, Milda needs to cut the Sosnowski’s hogweed. For that she needs gardening shears. There’s broken gardening shears and a nut in the toolbox in the bedroom.
To find the bolt, Milda needs to pick up the metal detector from the bedroom and power it with batteries that are found in the cupboard in the kitchen. Then she needs to use the powered metal detector on the garden to mark a spot and then use the shovel on the new marked spot, to dig out a bolt.
But this bolt doesn’t fit the nut that Milda has.
The right nut is in the crack in the floor in the kitchen. Milda needs to pick up the magnets from the sink in the kitchen (there are two magnets that Milda automatically picks up, they both have close ups when examined, which is used for another puzzle), and a string from a drawer in the bedroom. She needs to use the magnet that is also a bottle opener (the St. John’s one) to attach the string to it and then use the magnet on the string on the crack, to fish out the right sized nut.
Using the bolt and the right nut Milda can fix the gardening shears and then use them to cut the Sosnowski’s hogweed. Then she reaches in to the tree hollow and picks up documents and a wooden box from it.
Go to inventory and open wooden box by inspecting it. The wooden box puzzle is made out of 5 movable pictures, that need to be put into the right order. The order can be found in grandfather’s letter – the most bolded words are the answers.
Solution: Horseman → Crown → Tomb → Sing → King
In the wooden box, Milda finds some kind of a note in a foreign (old polish) language.
As soon as she inspects the note, Milda gets a phone call, from the same mysterious person that was talking through the walkie-talkie. He says that his patience is running out and he is coming to deal with Milda in person. Milda decides she needs to get out of there.
Milda goes to Joris’ house (click on the car outside).
Milda comes to Joris’ place at night. Joris is standing in the balcony in the street and shouts out to Milda to come up.
Once Milda comes into the flat, they start talking about her trip and then Milda tells Joris about what happened at her grandfather’s house. To progress, Milda needs to discuss all her findings with Joris:
Milda gives Joris the old polish text which Joris loosely translates, however there is much space for interpretation, so Milda has to help Joris make sense of the message. The message is presented with Joris' translation and optional words that might fit the message. Milda needs to make the message clear by choosing the correct words.
Correctly translated text: As the order instructed, the three keys to the crown are safely hidden thanks to the Grand Architect. The great fire provided him with the opportunity to chose different gods, as demonstrated in this manuscript.
Milda needs to make grandpa’s letter easily readable without a light source. Joris suggests to use something to make the pages see-through. Milda needs to find oil in Joris’ place – which is in a cabinet in the kitchen. Milda needs to combine oil with the blank pages and she gets grandpa’s letter that she can read whenever right from her inventory.
Milda talks to Joris about each of her findings at her grandfather’s house:
After all that, Milda notes that tomorrow she should investigate:
Milda adds a note: “Dad and grandpa were looking for the crown of Vytautas.”
They agree to go to sleep and continue their research in the morning. Right before sleep, Milda starts texting with Dana about what happened so far. The texting drifts off to a black screen and a new day begins.
Joris wakes Milda and tells her that a history professor from Vilnius University reached out to them, suggesting help. Joris arranged for Milda to meet him in the Vilnius University library so Milda has to get up and get ready to go out. Before leaving, Joris asks if Milda wants a bagel for breakfast, which is an optional choice.
Joris leaves ahead and Milda stays at Joris’ place in her pajamas. This is where you are introduced to wardrobe in this chapter. Milda says that she should change before going out and you need to go to the luggage which is Milda’s wardrobe in the next few acts.
Milda goes out and finds Joris outside the building. Here Joris gives her a bagel, or not, depending on your choice before, and also mentions that the bagels here are great because the shop is run by the Jewish community. Then Joris says he’ll show her the way to Vilnius university
Milda and Joris arrives at VU outside, where Joris introduces the place to Milda. He says the professor will be waiting inside the library and he leaves Milda here, saying they can later meet up at his place. Joris leaves and Milda can go inside.
At the library she meets with Karolis, the history professor. He suggests they look at the translated old Polish note so he could explain parts of it. (Milda can’t leave the VU outside until she talks to Karolis and shows him the translation.)
When the old polish note is dragged on Karolis, you can click on some words/sentences and Karolis explains that specific thing. To proceed, you need to click on all the important words to get notes about them. The clickable parts of the text are: “keys”, “Architect”, “fire”, “gods”, “manuscript”.
Besides finishing the conversaton with Karolis, Milda is free to continue her research by herself. What she can do at the library is:
Milda needs to ask the librarian for information about the KGB. The librarian will give Milda a book about KGB which is presented to you as a close up with text, some of which is clickable and gives Milda notes.
The possible notes to get:
One of the notes Milda finds on the book about KGB is a source, where more information on the topic could be found. It is GRRCL and Milda asks the librarian what it stands for. The librarian explains that it’s the Genocide and Resistance Research Center of Lithuania. The librarian provides Milda with GRRCL phone number so that she could look for more information there.
Milda calls the research center where she asks for more information about her father. The call itself is required to proceed the story (after doing this call AND visiting the Holy Spirit street location at least 2 times, Milda will get a mysterious text message).
Milda needs to ask librarian for information about pagans. The librarian will give Milda a book about pagan temples which is presented to you as close up with text, some of which is clickable and gives Milda notes. Milda adds this note: “Pagan temple sites: Šventaragis' valley, Sapiega palace territory, entrance to Antakalnis district.”
Milda needs to learn about the books her grandfather has taken from the library. But the librarian refuses to tell her, because of the privacy policy. Milda needs to find a way to get access to the database herself. The librarian tells Milda that she can use the library laptop to access her account (or her grandfather’s) but she needs to know the password. The librarian also tells her, that she (the librarian) could access the account, which is a hint that you need to figure out the librarian’s username and password.
All professions need to figure out two things: the librarian’s username and password.
Getting the username
To get the username, Milda needs to do these steps:
Option 1: Programmer. Milda needs to ask the librarian for Necronomicon – a book that is really far in the library that it takes a long time for the librarian to get and come back. This is a timed puzzle. While the librarian is away, Milda needs to use her USB stick on the librarian’s computer to plant a keylogger. Once the librarian comes back and types her password – Milda gets a note with the librarian’s password: “Librarian's password is Fortuna123”.
Option 2: Photographer. Milda needs to ask the librarian for Necronomicon – a book that is really far in the library that it takes a long time for the librarian to get and come back. This is a timed puzzle. While the librarian is away, Milda needs to turn the mirror on the librarians table so that it would reflect the computer screen. Then, after the librarian comes back, Milda needs to use her camera on the mirror to take a photo while the librarian is typing and that way she gets a note with the librarian’s password: “Librarian's password is Fortuna123”.
Option 3: Psychologist. After talking to the librarian once, Milda needs to use her psychology related book to make an observation. She notices the librarian seems irritated, tired, in pain perhaps. She realizes, it’s probably cramps. Milda has to talk to the librarian about it, this is a dialogue puzzle – choosing the right options moves the dialogue forward and eventually Milda talks the librarian into taking some pills that Milda has. After the taking the pills, the librarian is feeling friendlier towards Milda and suggests help. Milda asks if she could access grandfather’s account, but the librarian says she can’t do that. She suggests though that Milda try to access it herself, try guessing grandfather’s password. Librarian suggest the password could be a pet’s name with 123 at the end. Milda gets a note with this suggestion: “Librarian suggested to guess grandpa's password – might be a pet's name with 123”. Then, when Milda learns (or has learned by this point) the name of the librarian’s cat, she also gets a note with it: “Librarian's cat's name is Fortuna”. You need to combine the two notes – the cat’s name and the librarian’s suggestion – and gets a note “Librarian's password might be Fortuna123.”
From the moment Milda starts the grandfather’s books puzzle by using it on the librarian, she can sit down at the laptop and try to access the system. At first, Milda needs to input an account name. Her options are:
Once clicked on an account name, Milda needs to input a password.
If she is accessing grandfather’s account she gets three random passwords, none of them work.
If she’s accessing librarian’s account name, she gets these options:
Once Milda access the librarian’s account, she learns about grandfather’s book history and gets a note: “Grandfather hasn't returned one book – Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes.”
After getting the information from VU library, that grandfather hasn’t returned the book Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes, Milda should go back to her grandfather’s house and search through the books there. The first search doesn’t yield results, just a random book. The second search, yields results. Milda finds the book and when she opens it, she notices that it’s actually a manuscript of the architect J.C. Glaubitz. Also in the book Milda finds Chancellor List.
After Milda has talked to Karolis about the note, Milda needs to ask the librarian for a book with a list of churches that Glaubitz worked on. Once Milda gets the book, you need to click on it and Milda makes a list of 11 churches (as notes) that Glaubitz worked on. Now she needs to narrow them down to three. This is a note combining puzzle. You have to open up notes on the phone and narrow down the list of churches to three, based on the year they were built/reconstructed, the city they’re in and the religion they represent. Most of the the clues for the conditions can be found in the old polish text.
The correct list should consist of these churches, but Milda does not know which catholic church fits, so needs to investigate more:
Since there’s not enough information to narrow down catholic churches, a few of them fit the facts from the Old Polish translation note. To proceed and finish the church note puzzle, you need the manuscript from Grandpa’s house. Once Milda finds the manuscript and opens the page with the catholic church (it’s the one with the 8 statues of saints), she needs to compare the statues in the manuscript with the magnets she has from her grandfather’s house. The magnets are very similar, both depicting a bishop with a staff. The main difference is the staff’s top. The staffs in the manuscript match the staff on the St. Catherine’s magnet. You need to use the St. Catherine’s magnet on the bishop shown in the manuscript and thus Milda decides, that must be the church. From this point onward, you may combine St. Catherine’s church note to get the final answer.
After Milda finds out all the three churches, she says she should discuss them with Joris. She can either call him, which will result in him telling her to come over. Or she can go straight to his home.
As Milda and Joris confirm the three churches list, they discuss each one.
This all opens 3 paths you can move forward with – finding a key in each of the three churches.
Milda visits the Holy Spirit Church. The priest however tells her that he is concerned with other matters at the moment and Milda learns that the Eucharistic wine has been stolen from the church. The priest says he’s too busy to discuss anything else as he is most concerned with the Eucharistic wine being stolen.
In order to proceed, Milda needs to find the stolen wine. Milda needs to visit the St. Catherine Church location and notice a homeless man there. A wine bottle is seen on his bag. If Milda inspects the bottle in the bag, she can ask the man about it and learn that he in fact stole the Eucharistic wine to “wash his sins away”. Milda also learns, that the man thinks that holy wine is made by mixing red wine and holy water.
Milda needs to find a replacement wine for the man to get the Eucharistic wine back. First Milda needs to pick up a half full red wine bottle from Joris place (might already be in the inventory) and mix it with holy water, by using it on the holy water font in the Holy Spirit Church. Though, if Milda tries to give it to the homeless man, he’ll complain that it seems weak, as if it’s diluted. To make it stronger, Milda needs to mix in the Invisible Ink in it (since it’s made from strong alcohol). The final product then needs to be given to the homeless man. Once given, the guy says Milda can just take the Eucharistic wine from his bag.
Milda can then bring the Eucharistic wine to the priest, which he will be really thankful for. Milda can then again ask him if he knows anything about keys hidden here, but the priest is not sure what she’s talking about.
The information on how to proceed is in the Glaubitz manuscript now. You need to drag the Glaubitz manuscript on the specific iconostasis, that is shown in the manuscript, OR inspect the iconostasis in the Glaubitz manuscript while being in the church OR drag the Glaubitz manuscript on the priest. Any of these options open a new conversation option: “Did anyone try to look behind the iconostasis?”. When asked like this, the priest mentions that indeed something was found there, but not a key, but a seal stamp of a chancellor with the symbol “W” on it. Milda also learns that it was given to the VU archives for safekeeping. Thus opening a new path.
In order to get into the VU archives, Milda needs to get an access card. If Milda asks the librarian about the archives, she says that it’s only accessible for employees. You could have noticed earlier that the librarian’s cat was sitting on the table on the access card but now both the card and the cat are gone from the table.
When you go back out to the VU courtyard, the librarian’s cat can be seen near the flower pots. If Milda approaches the cat directly, it runs away to another flower pot. To solve this puzzle Milda needs to: learn that the cat’s name is Fortuna because she likes tuna (this can be learned while talking to the librarian[optional]) → get a tuna bagel from the bagel shop at Joris’ street → attach the tuna bagel to the magnet on the string → attach the magnet with tuna bagel to the drain pipe on the side of VU library building → chase the cat around until it stops at the bagel. At this point the cat will come to get the bagel and will be busy long enough for Milda to take the id card.
When Milda enters the VU archives, there’s an item on the table to pick up – glue. Then there are 3 hotspots of interest – the 3D printer, the computer terminal and the window where archive boxes are accessed through.
Milda needs to choose the correct options in the terminal, to find the seal. She can learn the century of the seal stamp by looking at the chancellor list and finding the right symbol there. That way she learns it’s a stamp of Albertas Goštautas. The priest in the church also mentioned, that the stamp was from a political figure, giving her the answer to the right theme. Milda only needs to guess the material, which is metal.
Solution: choose “XVI”, “politics”, “metal”.
Once the correct choices are made, Milda presses OK and the robot hand brings the box AND locks the exit, so Milda can't leave until she returns the box.
Milda has to make a copy of a seal using the 3D printer inside the archives. In order to copy a seal, Milda needs to put the seal into the printer, then put metal block materials that she finds on top of the printer to match the right weight of the seal for printing into the printer’s materials drawer. However the material amount never matches accurately so Milda needs to add the nut that she found at grandpa's place. The nut is equal to a small metal cube. Once it is done, the printing begins. The copy comes out and Milda picks up the first seal copy. Now Milda has two options – to return the real seal or the copy to the box (moral choice). Milda needs to put either of those seals into the box, then press the return button in the terminal and the computer hand will take it, opening the gate to the exit as well. Practically there is no difference which seal will Milda decide to keep except for some comments.
Solution: 1 big metal cube, 1 medium metal cube, 2 small metal cubes, nut.
After researching the churches and inquiring more about the Synagogue, Milda learns that it was destroyed during the second world war.
There are many hints during the game, both said by Joris and can be reached in the conversation with the bagel shop lady, that the bagel shop is run by the Jewish society. These hints should point you to search for more information around the bagel shop.
During the day, on the table next to the bagel shop, Milda can find a promotional flier that advertises an exhibition of new archaeological findings at the synagogue site. But the exhibitions is not in a few days. It also says that for more information, you can ask at the bagel shop. If Milda drags the promotional flier on the bagel shop lady, she can ask more about the exhibition (this can be done at any point during A2). If Milda already knows about Synagogue (after church puzzle), she can ask about it at the bagel shop lady. Milda shows a lot of interest in the Synagogue and asks to meet with the lecturer, Tamara.
Milda meets with Tamara next to the bagel shop. Tamara has a picture from the digging site that was recently worked on for Milda to see, that shows some of the most notable found objects.
You are presented with a picture of an archaeological site with some items scattered around. You can click on the items to get more information from Tamara about them. One of the items is mislabeled as ”candlestick”.
If the archives puzzle is complete and Milda already has one seal, once you examine the “candlestick”, Milda comments – “wait… this looks familiar.” You need to drag the seal from inventory on the candlestick hotspot so that Milda would realize, the “candlestick” is actually a seal.
After Milda asks Tamara more about the “candlestick”, Tamara mentions it was just sold to a candlestick collector. Tamara suggests to share the number of the collector, since Milda is so interested in it. If Milda tries to call it, the collector denies that this is the right number.
If Milda has already talked to the travel agent about the hockey game, here Milda gets a text from the travel agent saying the fan bus has arrived.
At a specific point in game (after the second entry to Holy Spirit outside and after talking to the GRRCL) during A2, Milda gets a text from an unknown number, telling her to come to the Moniuszko Square, near St. Catherine’s church.
Once Milda comes to the location next to the St. Catherine Church after getting the message, there’s nothing new there yet. Milda needs to ask around, specifically the Homeless man, if he’s the one that texted her. That conversation lead nowhere, but after it, a voice starts speaking from behind the statue. The mysterious person tells Milda he knew her father and gives her a note with a phone number on it, saying the person’s name is Vlad and he might be able to help her more. Without explaining anything further, the mysterious person disappears.
Milda calls the number she received and indeed reaches a person named Vlad. She mentions her father in the call and Vlad says he was expecting her. He tells her to come to Minsk, Belarus and they’ll talk then. Now Milda needs a way to get there.
Milda visits the Travel Agency near the Holy Spirit Church. She asks the travel agent there, if she could travel to Minsk. The agent says she needs to fill in the visa papers and in 3 to 5 business days, Milda will be able to travel. Milda takes the papers and walks to a table to fill them.
Milda is presented with a bunch of papers, that she can start filling in. At any given time, Milda can just turn each page, until they’re all turned away and you notice a flier on the table. It’s an advertisement for a hockey game between Lithuania and Belarus, that’s happening today. It also says, that if you’re going to the game only, you don’t need a visa. Milda needs to pick up the flier (filling the application is optional).
You need to drag the flier about the hockey game on the travel agent. That starts a conversation about going to the hockey game. The travel agent can sell Milda the ticket, but the bus is for fan club members only. Milda asks if there’s any way she could go even though she’s not a fan and the agent says, she needs to convince the bus driver to let her go. Milda asks, when will the bus get here. The conversation with the travel agent has two outcomes:
As Milda goes to talk to the bus driver, he refuses to let her in because she is not a fan. He finally agrees on one condition – Milda needs to at least look like a fan. For that he suggest she finds a T-shirt that makes her look like one.
In order to look like a fan, Milda needs a T-shirt that makes her look like a fan (similar to the t-shirt the driver has). To do so, Milda needs these items: Grandpa’s old green sweatshirt (found in Grandpa’s bedroom), flag with coat of arms (found in VU library), glue (found in VU archives) and shears (from A1). Milda needs to cut (use shears on the shirt) the shirt’s sleeves to make it a T-shirt (the sleeves are kept as a separate item), then cut out the coat of arms from the flag and glue it on the T-shirt. After creating the T-shirt, Milda automatically puts it on.
After Milda comes back to the bus driver while wearing the fan T-shirt, he finally agrees to let her in. Before getting on, Milda calls Vlad to tell him she’ll be coming to the hockey game and he tells her to meet him in the VIP room.
Milda is riding the bus to Belarus next to a sleeping fan. If she tries to wake him, no use – he’s fast asleep. Milda can pick up a Lithuanian flag nearby, that’s dropped on the drums. After taking it, honking horn is revealed. Milda can take the honk horns. Then she can either use the Honk Horn on the fan or just click on the honk in the inventory and honk once to wake the fan up. During the dialogue with the fan, Milda learns that some hockey player lineups that are better against others, and also learns how to honk the horn, the different sounds it makes and how much influence it has on the masses. As the dialogue ends, the bus ride ends and a cutscene shows Milda arriving to Minsk.
As Milda arrives to the hockey game, she needs to go to the VIP lounge to meet Vlad. He greets her and tells her to take the painting and leave the money for it. But Milda has no idea what painting that is. After a bit of conversation, Milda learns that Vlad was contacted by her father a few weeks ago and said that a family member will pick up the painting. When Milda asks for the number, Vlad refuses to give it to her. Their further conversation is interrupted as the Lithuanian team scores a point and Vlad goes to make a phone call.
Milda is free to look around the room while Vlad is on a phone call. Milda needs to inspect the painting, take the sheet off of it, and she notices it’s a painting of Vytautas the Great. After the painting inspection, Vlad’s phone call ends and Milda can continue the conversation. Milda has to make a bet, dialogue puzzle. Milda needs to agree that if the Belarus wins, Milda can get the painting and her dad’s number, and if she loses, she will give Vlad her grandfather’s house. Vlad agrees to it.
You have to influence the game in various ways to help Belarus win. The puzzle proceeds forward as the game state meets the right conditions. The game consists of 3 periods and an overtime. The period changes when the right conditions are met. When Milda arrives, it’s the 1st period. While she talks to Vlad for the first time, Lithuania scores and now it’s 1:0. As soon as the bet is made, the period changes.
Honk Horn patterns:
1. Milda needs to play the attacking tune while in the Hockey arena.
Belarus scores. The score now is 1:1.
Milda needs to put up a flag on the glass to disturb the players. To do so, Milda needs to pick up the Belarus flag from the VIP room and glue it with the Lithuanian flag she has from the bus. Then put up the two sided flag on the protective glass in the arena (this can be done in the 2nd period as well, it is a required task in this period only though).
Milda needs to play the defensive tune while in the Hockey arena.
The score stays 1:1.
Milda needs to ask Vlad to change the line up to win against the ones Lithuania just switched out. You can see which pairs and which lines are out in the screen in the VIP lounge. You need to see which pair is Lithuania using right now and choose the correct Belarus line up to go against it. This information is given by the fan, back in the arena. He explains to Milda which lines go against which pairs.
The line ups that should be used:
| LTU/BLR | Line 1 | Line 2 | Line 3 | Line 4 |
| Pair 1 | Wins | Loses | Loses | Loses |
| Pair 2 | Loses | Loses | Wins | Loses |
| Pair 3 | Loses | Wins | Loses | Loses |
Milda needs to play the attacking tune while in the Hockey arena.
Belarus scores. The score is 1:2.
As Belarus wins, there’s a fade to black and Milda appears in the VIP lounge. Milda talks to Vlad. Milda gets dad’s phone number, which, she realizes, is the same number she got from Tamara – the person’s who bought the “candlestick”.
Milda needs to call the number again and this time she mentions her name and calls out for dad. The person recognizes her and without explaining anything further, tells her to meet him tomorrow in Italy, Siena.
Milda rides the bus back to Lithuania. It’s evening outside, the fan next to her is sad about Lithuania losing and Milda is sitting next to him. Here player gets a new text message from Dana. Player needs to go to phone, messages and have a messages exchange with Dana. The scene changes.
Milda comes back to Joris’ place with the painting and tells him she got her dad’s number from Vlad in Belarus. She tells him that she needs a plane ticket to Italy to meet him. Joris finds a ticket that leaves in a few hours.
Milda and Joris also discuss the painting that she brought back from Belarus. They decide to bring in Dana for the discussion as she could be more of help as an artist. They give her a quick call and ask her to take a deeper look at the painting while Milda goes off to Siena.
As Milda arrives to Siena she walks from the Square, to the Alley. There a stand with balloons is seen as well as a goat standing around. The goat is blocking Milda’s way to the Balcony.
Milda needs to use the apple from her grandfather’s house on the goat. When Milda tries to give the goat the apple, the goat bites Milda’s hand and the apple falls further to the right. The goat follows the apple and eats it, that way unblocking Milda’s way to the Balcony.
Milda climbs up to the Balcony, where she expects to meet her dad but instead finds her grandfather Rokas. He answers a lot of her questions about her father, project Koschei, pagan temples, being in Italy and all the clues he left. He also tells her that there’s a key to the St Catherine’s church attached to his house keys that Milda has in her inventory. They take a look at the chancellor list, grandfather explains, that he believes the crown was passed down from one chancellor to another (not every chancellor might have used it though). But their meeting is interrupted as Karolis walks in, revealing that he’s the bad guy and demanding they give him the seals. Milda needs to figure out a way to escape while Karolis is threatening to shoot her and bickers with Rokas.
On the table in the balcony, there’s a bowl of apples. Milda can pick up apples from it (one apple at a time can be in inventory). There’s also the option to look down to the Ground Level, back to the Alley.
Looking to the Alley there are a few hotspots of interest for this puzzle: a balloon full of helium, ready to be sold, a gas tank with helium (He) and a gas tank with hydrogen (H). The gas tank with helium is connected to the pump that fills the balloons.
Milda can use one of the apples on one of the hotspots. Once used, she drops the fruit and the goat walks to it and starts chewing it, chewing something next to the hotspot as well. If the fruit is used on the balloon, the goat chews off the string that’s holding the balloon and the balloon flies up in the air. As soon as the balloon seller sees that, he shoos the goat away, inflates and ties up a new balloon. If Milda drops an apple next to the helium (He) gas tank, the goat chews off the tube that connects the tank to the balloon pump. Being out of options, the balloon seller connects the hydrogen (H) tank to the pump and pumps a new balloon, this time – with hydrogen. If Milda drops an apple on the hydrogen tank (H), the goat might try to chew the tube off as well, but it is much stronger so she cannot do that.
Once the hydrogen tank is connected to the pump, Milda needs to throw an apple next to the balloon, so the goat would chew off the string and the balloon would fly away. Then the balloon seller will fill up a new balloon, this time, with hydrogen. After that Milda needs to throw another apple next to the balloon and the goat chews off the string on the hydrogen filled balloon and it flies away. Timed puzzle.
Milda needs to come back to the balcony right after the goat chews off the balloon string, so she can see the balloon fly by here. The goal is to use the lighter on a balloon filled with hydrogen while it is flying by in the balcony, which causes an explosion which distracts Karolis for enough time for Milda and Rokas to run away.
Short walkthrough: look down to the Ground Level → drop an apple on the helium gas tank (the goat chews off the tube) → drop an apple on the balloon to get a new balloon with hydrogen → drop another apple on the balloon to make the hydrogen balloon flow up → go back up to the balcony → use lighter on the hydrogen filled balloon flying by to make it explode.
After the explosion, Milda and Rokas run away pushing Karolis away. Milda and Rokas run to the Square and Rokas tells Milda to hack a scooter.
Inspect blue (3rd from the left) scooter. Milda needs to unlock a scooter by getting 3 locks correctly. It’s more of a guessing mini-game – you need to find the three positions of the pins that light up the lights of the engine.
After some moves are done in the puzzle, a short cinematic is shown – the big thug runs in and stops for a second to catch his breath, grandpa takes out the seal he has, shouts “can’t catch an old man?”, shows the seal to the thug and then runs away. The thug chases after him. After the short cinematic, you are dropped back into the close up and can finish the puzzle.
The correct positions (put pins to these positions and trigger ignition):
After unlocking all the locks, Milda drives off.
Milda enters the scene alone, goes up to the front row. Rokas enters a bit later in the third lane and catches up with her to the front row. He shouts to Milda that the thug is right behind them and he wants Milda to have the seal and tells her to come get it. But the Thug is already behind them. The thug enters in the middle lane and when he gets closer to the front row (almost between Rokas and Milda), he hits Milda (who was moving towards Rokas). Her scooter wiggles and becomes a bit broken, she moves behind them as her accelerator doesn’t work anymore.
After Milda finally takes the seal from her grandfather, he heroically crashes into thug and Milda escapes.
Milda travels back to Lithuania, once she lands in Vilnius, she gets a text message from Dana. After chatting, Milda is back at Joris place.
After Milda comes back from Siena, she briefly tells Joris what happened there and then they call Dana to figure out, what’s the deal with the painting.
After calling Dana, she tells us that she believes the painting is an overpaint. Dana suggests Milda finds something acidic and some strong alcohol and a rag and then carefully wipe the painting with it, to reveal layers beneath. You need to combine Invisible ink, as it is made from lemon juice and strong alcohol, with the sleeves that were cut off grandfather’s shirt and then use the wet sleeves to wipe parts of the painting.
Some parts of the painting are real, and some are fake. Depending on Dana’s comments, Joris’ comments and player’s knowledge, you must use the wet sleeves on specific hotspots that seem to be fake.
Dana mentions that the date on the painting doesn’t make sense (“there hardly were any paintings of this kind during the time. Neither from style, nor from quality.”). Since the date is mentioned in the text under the painting, Milda wipes off the whole text, getting a new message. ("I will be the last to carry this blessing and curse. Let the temple of the Old Gods guard this dangerous crown.")
From the new text, Milda and Joris decide that perhaps the one that’s shown here was the person that had the crown last. Now they need to figure out who it is, since suspicions rise that it might not be Vytautas after all.
There are total of 3 fake spots on the painting: the text, the face, the seal. It is necessary to scrub all the 3 fake hotspots to get all the info needed to proceed in the game.
You have to compare the painting with the Chancellor List to figure that it’s actually Leonas Sapiega in the picture. You need to use the Chancellor list on the painting, to put it next to the painting. Then you needs to click on the right face on the Chancellor list – Leonas Sapiega – after cleaning off the face and the seal on the painting.
Milda adds a note to her phone, that Leonas Sapiega was the last one to hold the cursed crown and hid it in an old pagan temple. Now from the information gathered so far, you need to figure out where could the crown be hidden. For that, Milda needs to combine the newly gotten note about Leonas Sapiega with a note saying, that there was a pagan temple at Sapiega’s park.
After combining those notes and coming to the conclusion, that the crown is in Sapiega’s park, Milda talks to Joris and they get ready to go to St Catherine’s church to get the last seal.
Milda and Joris arrive at St. Catherine’s church and try to get inside but the cleaning lady doesn’t let them in. Milda has a key from the side door but no matter which door she tries to use, the old lady is still in her way. Milda and Joris try to find a way to distract her.
Milda talks to Joris and they come up with a plan to distract the cleaning lady. You have to choose the right dialogue options to create a plan, that would distract the old lady long enough for Milda to sneak in. If the wrong choices are chosen, the plan fails, and they have to try again.
Solution: Joris needs to go to the main door and ask for directions.
Once the correct choices were made and Joris succesfuly distract the lady, Milda needs to use her grandfather’s keys on the side door of the church and she can finally go inside.
Once Milda gets inside the St. Catherine’s church, she needs to get inside the secret catacombs. Where the door is and the solution to this puzzle is depicted in Glaubitz’s manuscript. You have to figure this out and then rotate the statues’ heads to match the Glaubitz’s manuscript description. All the other statues have to look to the one, that is showing with its hand to the secret door.
Solution: statue 1 and 2 (from the left of the screen; only counting statues with hotspots) – look to the right of the screen, statues 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 – look to the left of the screen.
Milda enters the catacombs and now she has to figure out, where the seal might be hidden. She has to use Glaubitz’s manuscript for clues. She needs to use kerosene on the empty bowls on the statues and then light up the bowls using lighter. She needs to create a cross from shadows and solve the riddle as mentioned in the Glaubitz’s manuscript. She has to light up the two torches that form the cross with shadows and use a shovel to dig the seal out.
Solution: light up the 2nd and 4th statues only (from the left of the screen).
As soon as Milda comes back up from the catacombs, she is confronted by Karolis and his thugs. Karolis order his thug to take her seals (one seal is still with Joris). Karolis then tells the thug to shoot Milda. Milda needs to kick the thug that’s holding her in the croach and then she jumps back into the catacombs. The thug goes after but the shutting door traps his leg at the entrance to the catacombs, making him block the path and forcing Milda to find another way out.
Milda needs to use the shovel on the 5th statue (the rightmost one; which is hinted to be wobbly) to make it fall on the grates. Crashing the floor and making Milda fall into the fresh made hole.
She exits through the manhole in front of St. Catherine's church, right behind Joris who is still talking with the cleaning lady. Milda calls Joris over, he gives her the one seal he still had and they both rush to Sapiega’s park.
Milda and Joris come to Sapiega’s park where they find a thug who is holding a seal. Joris punches the thug to distract him and makes him drop the seal. The thug runs after Joris leaving the area and leaving Milda with the seal. Milda needs to pick up the dropped seal.
Milda needs to find the entrance to the church. She notices there are a few dig spots on the ground. You can use the metal detector, to determine, which spot it is or just use the shovel to dig out the correct spot. Once found the spot is found, Milda uncovers a seal socket, where she needs to use the seal she just got from the thug to get inside. Once she uses the seal on the socket, a secret entrance opens, leading underground.
Back in Italy, Milda learnt that the marked words in the poem, in the grandfather’s letter, actually lead to the pagan crown (which is added as a note on Milda’s phone). She needs to follow the same 5 words to get to the crown. Milda can examine the carvings to determine which passage mean which word.
Correct path is: Horseman → Crown → Tomb → Sing → King.
Solution: 4th door (horses) → 2nd door (serpents with crown) → 5th door (tomb, death) → 3rd door (sing, dancing ladies) → 1st door (king, Perkūnas, Lithuanian pagan god of thunder).
After passing through the last door, we can see a sealed a sealed passage over the 6th passage, with a seal socket in the middle. Milda needs to use the one seal she still has, the copy or real one from the archives, and the door opens.
Milda enters the Crown Room and finds Karolis next to the seal spot on the other side. He puts the seal in the socket and that reveals the crown in the middle of the room.
The crown room starts crumbling. Karolis jumps on Milda, who is reaching for the crown and they both roll next to the edge of the platform. Karolis falls over but holds on to Milda, while having the crown in his other hand. He tells her to pull him up, but Milda can’t hold on and Karolis falls into the abyss, while the crown gets stuck on a branch. Milda considers reaching for the crown and almost falls herself, when Joris appears behinds her and saves her. They run out of the crumbling chamber.
Back outside the Sapiega church, Milda and Joris recap what just happened, and finally they decide to go home for some rest. The crown is likely lost for good.
