Case Files Season 2, No. 1: Three Records, One Name

First, a note: we asked Modian to extend the campaign by ten days, from 17 October to 27 October, 12:00 (China time). The project page has the final word.

Season two’s first case has no hidden clues. The same registered name, “Greyfinch”, appears in three ledgers:

1. Guild quest stub — Greyfinch received permission that afternoon to take a quest on the old road.
2. Gate ledger — Greyfinch was recorded leaving town at dusk.
3. Inn register — Greyfinch checked into room four that night.

The stub records permission, the gate ledger records a passage, and the inn register links a name to a room. Which sentence belongs in the conclusion?

Answer (revealed in update 9): B — the three records use the same name, but that isn’t enough to show they are the same person.

Without an identity check, we can’t stitch the records into one person’s day, and we can’t claim someone used a false name.

This case is an interactive world-building piece; the illustration is promotional art, not in-game footage.
