Uh oh, there is a lot of magical work to do, but you kind of forgot how to summon...anything. Fortunately, you work in a library, there is probably some sort of guide in a book somewhere...

This is a puzzle game, if you are stuck you can check the solution at the bottom of the page :)

How To Play

It's best to just jump right in and figure stuff out in game. Come back here if you are confused.

There are 3 summons to perform. You must figure out the runes needed to :

  • Fix the broken vase
  • Water to the plant
  • Revive the dead cat

Enter the summoning circle, press the interact key and hold a direction to start drawing runes. If the circle goes red, the rune isn't valid, you did something forbidden. However, if the circle stays blue, the rune is valid but does not necessarily solve your issue. If you enter the correct runes, something will happen automatically.

Controls (Explained in game)

Move/Summon : Arrows - WASD - Left stick

Interact : Space - E - South Button

Remember Book : R - North Button

Hints (Slight spoilers)

Here are the relevant books per task


  • A rune always starts either with up, or down then up.
  • The dot at the top of the vertical line is important, it makes it opposite.
  • Cats are opposed to dogs, day to night, work to sleep...what new meanings can you create by taking the opposite of something ?
  • The order of runes is important.
