Beyond the bells beneath the sea

They were saved from the flood.
Who will save their tomorrow?

Vesper's dome still holds. Its windows still glow. But a failing refuge engine has trapped its citizens in fragments of the same evening, guarded by machines that mistake every change for danger.

01Meet the people who waited

Share a meal in the Evening Market, rescue a stranded lift keeper, and help a teacher tell the truth about the world outside. Brindle can join you beneath the glass.

02Face the guardians of yesterday

Challenge the Brass Magistrate, Archive Leviathan, and First Cartographer. Their portraits and attack patterns change during battle. Careful explorers can also discover peaceful resolutions.

03Carry a different kind of light

Learn Lantern Flare at the workshop. One charge can interrupt a dangerous enemy response—but the shutter must cool until your next encounter.

Warm lanterns illuminate Vesper's dry market beneath the sea-glass dome
