Laboratory

The Laboratory of Time is the area at the top of the Black Castle, responsible for the events leading up to Mystery of Shadows, and the main story. It is within the most prominent and centered building in the city. Upon being unlocked, several characters mention the Laboratory is surrounded by both Monsters and Anomalies that hindered progress prior. Many elements of the story and room itself hint to the study of time travel.

The player is shown to be looking at an angle into the large observatory room, faintly seeing out of the large roman numeral glass.
