I showed this to my eleven year old daughter, and she said she would prefer to control it by tracing with her finger. (I thought about asking her because I saw her playing a very detailed pattern game using her finger.)

The solution is not correct, but made a good read. Give it to the Baron in the writing thread! 

The answers are updated above again.

For the next post answering questions I suggest you have one on this page so people won't have to flip back to the previous page.

Sorry, it was on the same page for me. I guess it may depend on your setup.

What happened here?

In Norway the schools are open. There is social distancing, anitibac everywhere, restrictions on where pupils or students can go/how many can be in a room at the same time. Rooms are cleaned after use, and the older students wipe their own desk and chair when moving to another classroom. As much as possible is moved outdoors, like phys ed. There is also an awareness of having digital solutions after last semester, when the schools were thrown in at the deep end. There is no mask use in schools that I know of, although there may be recommendations about wearing them on the school buses coming soon. The pupils are mainly working with the same people every day.

There is little to no covid spread in my area at the moment, so I have no qualms about sending my kids to school. Football for the kids has started again, and piano lessons (they had to wait for some detergent that didn't harm the instrument), while some other activities, like choir practice or indoors climbing still are closed down.

Harland was arrested on suspicion of something we don't know, because of prejudice against his social class or similar.

Other than that, I guess the rest of the solution is that the Krakatoa eruption happened, killing people outside and damaging the jail. Then Harland became a celebrity because he was rescued - a survivor near the volcano.

Edit: Was Harland or his class given the blame for the smoking volcano, then put in jail to prevent an eruption?
Was Harland a witch/witch doctor?
Was Harland a king or other ruler?

Did this happen in Indonesia?
Did being in the dungeon save Harland's life?
Was he rescued by people looking for survivors? (Not released per se...)
Was the epicenter of the disaster far off?

Did this happen in Japan?
Was the natural disaster a tsunami?
Was the social class Harland belonged to western/caucasian?
Was Harland suspected of espionage?
Did this happen more than 100 years ago?

Have the disaster happened IRL?
Does this story happen at present time?
Are Harland's injuries caused by the natural disaster/the jail being damaged?
Did this happen in Asia?
Did this happen in the Americas?

Did this happen in Europe?
Was there a natural disaster outside?
Was there a plague outside?
Was the dungeon/jail destroyed?
Was there a change in political power outside?

Is the geographic location relevant?
Did something happen on the outside that caused his release?

This sounds like a great premise for a game!

The art is stunning, and the game premise sounds very interesting. Definitely looking forward to this one!
