The Collector's Secret

The Collector's Secret is the first Case in the game, and serves as the tutorial, introducing the first four locations, a few characters, and main functions of the game.

Introduction
Your friend Jacob has disappeared in the City of Shadows without a trace. The Conductor helps you in your search. His Locating Device shows that Jacob is still alive but is somewhere in the centre of the City. The way to the centre of the City has been shrouded in unearthly fog for many years now. After losing consciousness, you see a vision of Jacob giving you a clue: "Look for the answer in the Collector's House." The Collector is perhaps the most renown and mysterious figure in the City. A man of fortune and foibles, he vanished mysteriously without a trace. The door to his house is adorned with an iron head and it has been locked for a very long time... Just what is hidden behind it?

Chapter 1
The Collector left a message - the mechanical man will point the way to a cache with a clue. We found the diagram, but where is the robot itself hidden?

Tasks:
 * Find the Mechanical Arms (Station)
 * Find the Mechanical Legs (Station)
 * Find the Mechanical Head (City Hall)

Chapter 2
The robot was assembled exactly according to the Collector's diagrams, but the machine is still inanimate. What are we missing? Which part will breathe life into the metal body?

Goal: Find A Mechanical Heart

Chapter 3
We're a step away from finding the cache in the Collector's House with a clue hidden inside. All that remains is to start up the mechanical man. Will the machine work after so many years?

Task: Complete the Mysterious Room's Secret collection

Conclusion
The mechanical man activated secret levers and the cache opened silently in the Collector's room. The clue Jacob was talking about in the vision has been found.
