Brief Summary of the Mystery: Detective Daisy is summoned to investigate the disappearance of a crucial game design manuscript for "Anomaly," a revolutionary VR extraction shooter being developed by Greensky Games, a cutting-edge indie studio based in Montreal. The manuscript contains vital information that could propel the studio to new heights. The three key members of the team—Aaron (Game Designer), Youhanna (Game Developer), and Laura (Concept Artist)—are the only ones who had access to the manuscript. Daisy must uncover who took the manuscript and why. Characters and What They Expose: 1. Aaron (Game Designer): Aaron is deeply invested in the gameplay mechanics of "Anomaly." He reveals that he was working late in the castle's study, refining game levels inspired by Montreal's underground tunnels. Aaron mentions that he saw Youhanna near the manuscript's usual place but didn't think much of it. He expresses concern that someone might leak their innovative ideas to competitors. 2. Youhanna (Game Developer): Youhanna is responsible for the technical development of "Anomaly." He tells Daisy that Aaron seemed frustrated recently, possibly due to creative differences. Youhanna admits he was preoccupied with coding challenges related to integrating Montreal's skyline into the VR environment. He recalls Laura asking unusual questions about the game's security features. 3. Laura (Concept Artist): Laura creates the visual art for "Anomaly," drawing heavily from Montreal's iconic architecture. She informs Daisy that she noticed tension between Aaron and Youhanna over the game's direction. Laura confesses that she was curious about the manuscript to ensure her art aligned with the game's mechanics. She hints that Aaron might feel overshadowed by the team's collaborative efforts. Specific Example Player Experience: Daisy begins her investigation by speaking with Aaron. He seems anxious and emphasizes the importance of protecting their unique game concepts. Aaron mentions working late to perfect levels based on Montreal's famous Underground City. He subtly suggests that Youhanna might be too absorbed in technical aspects to notice security concerns. Daisy notes his apprehension and possible motives rooted in fear of idea theft. Next, Daisy talks to Youhanna. He appears focused and somewhat detached. Youhanna shares that Aaron has been showing signs of frustration, possibly because the game design is evolving beyond his original vision. He mentions his own work on rendering Montreal's skyline for the VR experience, which has kept him occupied. Youhanna recalls Laura's interest in the game's security but doesn't see it as suspicious. Daisy considers that Youhanna may be inadvertently overlooking internal issues. Finally, Daisy meets with Laura. She is open and expressive about her passion for incorporating Montreal's landmarks into her art for "Anomaly." Laura discusses the creative conflicts between Aaron and Youhanna, suggesting that Aaron might feel left out as the project becomes more collaborative. She admits to asking about security features but explains it was to protect her artwork from leaks. Daisy senses Laura's genuine concern for the project's success. As Daisy reviews the information, she pieces together the clues. Aaron's anxiety and emphasis on protecting ideas indicate he might have taken the manuscript to prevent further changes to his original concepts. Youhanna's focus on technical challenges suggests he is unlikely to be involved in the disappearance. Laura's transparency and lack of evident motive reduce her likelihood of guilt. Using rigorous logic, Daisy concludes that Aaron, fearing loss of control over the game's direction, took the manuscript to halt progress until his vision could be reinstated. She confronts Aaron with her findings. Faced with the evidence, Aaron admits he hid the manuscript, hoping to steer "Anomaly" back to his original ideas. He agrees to return it and work collaboratively with the team, understanding that their combined efforts are essential to the game's success.
Game Designer, 32 years old
Hey Daisy, thanks for coming. I've been working on these game levels all night - they're inspired by the underground tunnels right here in Montreal. I know we need to talk about the manuscript, but I just want to make sure our ideas are protected, you know?
You look tired. How much coffee have you had today?
Lost count after my sixth espresso. These tunnels won't design themselves.
What's so special about these Montreal tunnels?
They're perfect for the game - interconnected, mysterious, full of history. I've added some fantasy elements, magical crystals growing in the darker corners, ancient runes on the walls. But I'm worried someone might steal these ideas before we can finish the game.
What's hidden in these castle walls?
Behind these ancient stones lies something sharp and pointy from medieval times.

Hey Daisy, this VR bug is driving me crazy - the Montreal skyline keeps glitching when players look west. Maybe we can talk about the manuscript after I fix this?
Have you always lived in Montreal?
Actually, I moved here from Lebanon five years ago for the tech scene. The winters were quite a shock at first!
Have you seen Aaron near the skyline code lately?
Actually, I caught him poking around my workstation yesterday. Said he was looking for reference images, but he seemed pretty jumpy.
Where can I find old maps of the castle?
You'll need to climb the steep incline to the north tower archives.
Concept Artist, 30 years old
Hey Daisy, I was actually hoping someone would look into this. Been sketching concept art all morning in the west tower - the light's amazing there. Mind if I show you some of my latest designs while we talk?
How long have you been sketching art, Laura?
Since I was a kid, actually! I started with little doodles of Montreal's buildings from my bedroom window. The city's architecture just captivated me, you know? Funny how those childhood sketches led me to where I am now.
What were you hoping someone would look into?
Oh, right! There's been some unusual activity in the castle's security feeds around the study area. I noticed some shadows moving late last night while reviewing footage for my night scene references. The way they moved... it seemed deliberate, you know? Here, let me show you these sketches while we discuss it - they might give you a better idea of what I mean.
What inspired your dark castle artwork?
I was inspired by ancient tales of one who transgresses against divine law, creating these haunting towers.

Characters present: Aaron
I took the manuscript. I've been pouring my heart into these designs, especially the underground tunnel levels. When I saw how much the game was changing from my original vision, I panicked. The collaborative input from everyone is what makes Anomaly special, and I lost sight of that. Montreal's rich history and architecture belong to all of us, not just my interpretation of it. I'm sorry for letting my fears get the better of me. The manuscript is in my desk drawer - let's get back to making this game amazing, together.
