Hello, Guardian!

Hello. You’ve come

for the Dome…

I’ve been waiting for you.

What’s the matter

with the Dome?

Every year, the Dome loses its Stars

and… its power. And then

things go wrong.

And you’ve been chosen

to retrieve the Stars!

Us, really?

For your insight

and powers of observation…

If you win all the games on the list, the Guardian will give its Star to you.
