You’re drawn to the snow-covered streets of Edelstein — a quiet village where the Christmas Market hasn’t opened in decades. The stalls are shuttered. The lanterns flicker without flame. But something stirs in the silence.
At the center of the square, you find a sealed envelope — addressed to no one, dated 1934.
Inside, a letter from a man named Alaric Winterfeld — an inventor, a dreamer, and the creator of a device unlike anything the world has seen: the Chrono-Camera. He built it to preserve emotion, to freeze memories in time. But something went wrong. And now, the Market is caught in a loop — reliving the same snowy night over and over again.
As you explore the forgotten stalls — the Toymaker, the Sweet Shop, the Choir, the Tailor’s tent — puzzles begin to emerge. Clues hidden in candy wrappers, coded thread patterns, forgotten music sheets. Each one revealing a glimpse into Alaric’s fractured memories.
The more you solve, the clearer the story becomes.
A lost love. A failed invention. A moment he couldn’t let go.
To break the loop, you must reactivate the seven components of the Chrono-Camera, piece by piece, and bring Alaric’s story to its final frame.
But time is delicate. And memory doesn’t like to be rewritten.
Will you restore the Market… or will it fade into snow once more?
