A dream of desire intertwined with the unknown and anxiety. The cursed library, the curators who died one after another, the addictive "scientific research", is there any hidden truth behind it...
Only by eliminating impurities and sublimating can we reach perfection.

[A Costume] Puppeteer - Philemon's Altar has a dark golden magic circle engraved on half of his face. Some unkempt hair covers his side face, but it can't block his eyes of seeking knowledge. He wears a medal symbolizing the element of air. On his brass cloak, the pattern of the sun and the moon reflects a subtle light, showing his unique understanding of alchemy. The element of air becomes a tool in his hand, a fuel, and a goal.
The retro-style puppet stood quietly, with smoke bubbling out of its hollow eyes, and its core essence could be vaguely seen. His clothes seemed similar to those of the operator, and the mechanical body exposed under his clothes was precise and flexible. His arms were transparent, and the symbols on his hands also hinted at this inseparable connection. He wore the same leather boots as the operator. With his agile footsteps, people often wondered if he was a real person or a puppet.
The mystery of scientific research, under the truth. Is it scientific research or a hidden unknown? Follow Lady Truth's steps and explore the mystery of the curse together!

- Design Idea Sketch
The first sketch uses a black, yellow and green color scheme as a whole, and Puppeteer's body emphasizes the characteristics of an alchemist. The pattern of the character's clothing adopts patterns related to alchemy, and he wears a half mask on his face. The puppet is designed as a metal robot whose actions can be controlled through alchemy.

The second sketch puppet was changed to a child version of the Puppeteer, but the overall mechanical form was still retained. The design of the head and hairstyle are closer to the appearance of the Puppeteer.

Final concept

- Model Details Description[4]
Only by eliminating impurities and sublimating can we reach perfection.

- Dark gold runes are carved on half of his face. Unkempt strands of hair obscure part of his face, but they cannot hide his eyes' curious gaze.
- His medal contains the symbol for the element of air. On his cloak, sun and moon patterns refract subtle light, signifying his unique understanding of alchemy.
- The element of air becomes into his tools, fuel, a goal——
- The vintage doll stands quietly. Smoke wisps from its empty socket, hinting at the essence that makes up its core.
- Its clothing is similar to that of its puppeteer. Its mechanical body is precise and flexible, with transparent arms and symbols on its hands that suggest an inseparable bond.
- It wears the same leather boots as its puppeteer. Its nimble footsteps often leads to people to question as to whether it is truly a puppet, or a real person.
- Showroom Interface Design

He cherished the bottle that contained everything in his arms, trying to touch the deeper secrets, but the bottle in his arms suddenly broke free. Feeling empty for a moment, he could only sigh helplessly.

After adding a few drops of solvent, the bottle seemed to be given life - it jumped out of his hand - twisted and grew, turning its head to look at him. The angry puppet twisted and grew, turning its head to look at him.
- In-Game Display

Thin golden threads fell from his body, transforming into "Louis". Under the golden aura, there was his roaring desire.
