What it's about

The story.

Once a year, the magic of the Blind Mirror reaches every reflective surface in Kassel. Anyone who looks into one loses their reflection. Then the people themselves vanish into the mirror world. A magician who wants to live forever waits there.

For forty years, Frau Sperling has guarded the mirror. Now she hands this task over to you. The enchanted tools of the old mirror guard are waiting in the Backpack. Can you stop the magician?

Your task: Find six signs, decode the magic word and close the gate to the mirror world before more people vanish.
