In the distant ancient times, there was an ancient building called "Star Shadow Tower". The legend of the tower is long and mysterious, and no one knows exactly when it was built, let alone what is hidden inside it. The only clue was a deck of tarot cards whose strange symbols seemed to be closely linked to the stars.
According to legend, there is an extremely powerful force hidden deep in the core of the Star Shadow Tower, which can only be activated by solving the mystery of the organs inside the tower. Those who have tried to enter the tower may have gotten lost along the way or never made it out. The star on the tarot card is the only key, but the legendary star is not an ordinary astronomical phenomenon, but is closely connected with the complex operation of the organs in the tower.
A young explorer named Eric heard the story. As a master puzzle solver, he was fascinated by this mysterious building. He decides to enter the Star Shadow Tower in search of the legendary secret. Armed with his favorite tarot cards, Eric embarks on a journey.
The moment he opened the door of the tower, the cold air hit his face, and the tower was deep and gave off an ominous smell. Eric began to walk around the tower, and he found that every room, every corridor, was full of mechanisms and traps. The walls are inlaid with strange symbols, which seem to silently hint at something. His tarot card is the only clue, and he must use it to solve the mechanism of each room
Eric held the tarot cards in his hand, his heart racing. Every step he took into the ancient tower, he felt an invisible pressure, as if some ancient power was watching him. The air inside the tower was cold and echoed with the ticking of clocks and unknown whispers, as if the tower itself were talking to him.
He entered the first room, a curving corridor whose walls were inlaid with a multitude of tarot cards, each with its own unique radiance. Eric walked to the first Tarot card with the word "star" painted on it. He looked at the symbol carefully, and what he had learned flashed through his mind. The stars were heavenly guides, symbols of hope and direction. He compares his tarot cards to each other, and the Tarot card pattern resonates with the symbols in the room.
With the touch of the tarot, there was a slight click at the end of the corridor, and some mechanism in the wall activated. Eric immediately looked back and saw a hidden door slowly open. Behind the door, the space becomes more oppressive, and the air is filled with decay and obsolescence. Eric cautiously entered and found a large circular astrolabe in the center of the room, inlaid with symbols and constellations, exactly the patterns found on tarot cards.
Eric's finger lightly touched the center of the astrolabe, which vibrated slightly, and he knew that everything would depend on how he used the tarot. Each tarot card is a reminder, and the connection between the constellations and the organs within the tower gradually becomes clear. Different tarot cards represent different stars, and the combination of these stars can change the flow of power in the room, driving the path to deeper puzzles.
Next, Eric places his tarot cards in their respective positions on the chart. "Fool", "Power", "Death"... Each tarot card symbol activates a different astrological sign on the astrolabe, and the brilliance of the astrolabe gradually increases until it finally emits a dazzling light. At that moment, the walls around the astrolabe began to rotate, the room came to life, and the peaceful environment was suddenly filled with mechanical roar and shaking of the ground.
The four walls of the room gradually opened to reveal a large circular door with the word "Star Shadow" inscribed on it. Eric stood in front of the door, knowing that behind the door was hidden the core of the shadow tower, and solving this puzzle would be able to access the final secret of the tower.
He approached the round door and found that it was inlaid with an intricate star pattern, around which some ancient runes were carved. Eric realizes that these runes are the key to working with the organs inside the tower. And each tarot card is an exact representation of these runes.
Eric unrolled the tarot cards again, skillfully placing them in pairs against the star pattern. Finally, he touched a tarot card -- "The Magician." This card represents control and change, symbolizing unlocking and a new beginning. When he placed the "Magician" card on the astrolabe, the huge star pattern inside the tower emitted a strong light, and all the runes began to spin as if to come to life.
