Collector's House

The Collector's House is located by the main square, between Manor House Gate and Red Rose Café. It is an early location, taking part in some of the first Quests, and most notably can award a unique Assembler for the Conductor's Device collection. The city's Collector used to live here, but it's now abandoned with a projection of a man and a child left behind. Being an early area, it will remain necessary for many of the game's Quests.

The area itself is as the name implies; full of a range of hidden items in a room, from a katana, to sports equipment, instruments, cats, and even firearms.

When entered, the player is shown to be looking into a cluttered and disorganized room. It is one of the few areas not to have its own Case.
