Welcome to our adventure! Before we begin, would you like to tell me what kind of world you envision exploring? Is it a fantasy realm, a sci-fi universe, or something else entirely?



## 2 | The dragon with seven heads / Calvino

Ah, we're entering a literary-inspired realm based on Italo Calvino's works! You find yourself in a surreal medieval city where reality bends and stories intertwine. The streets whisper tales of a legendary seven-headed dragon. Where would you like to begin?



## 3 | Go fishing

You head to the city's bizarre harbor, where boats float both on water and in air. An old fisherman with a crystalline beard offers to take you out on his upside-down boat. Strange luminous fish leap between reality and dreams. Want to join him?



## 4 | Yes

The fisherman's boat gently turns upside down as you board. Below/above you, the sea shifts between liquid and sky. He hands you a fishing rod made of moonbeams. Suddenly, something tugs at your line - something big…



## 5 | Pull it

With tremendous force, you pull! A giant silver fish emerges, but wait - it has a human face and speaks in riddles! "*To find the seven-headed one, first solve my puzzle,*" it declares. The fisherman looks anxious. What do you do?



## 6 | Hear the puzzle

The fish-face smiles mysteriously: "*I have no lungs but I speak, no hands but I guide, no feet but I follow. Only in darkness do I die. What am I?*" The old fisherman clutches his crystalline beard nervously.



## 7 | Solve the puzzle

"*Light!*" you declare. The fish-face beams brilliantly, transforming into pure light that shoots across the water, creating a luminous path. "*Follow it,*" whispers the fisherman. "*It leads to the dragon's first head.*" Will you?



## 8 | Yes

The boat glides along the light path, reaching a floating island made of books. On its shore, the dragon's first head - made entirely of paper and ink - reads ancient stories aloud. Its eyes lock onto you. Approach?



## 9 | Approach

The paper-dragon head speaks: "*Choose a story from my pages - but beware, you'll live it before finding the next head.*" Books flutter around you, their titles changing constantly. Three hover closer: "*The Knight's Mirror,*" "*The Underwater City,*" "*The Cloud Castle.*"
