You investigate the Crypt. A cold and ominous room, several sealed coffins lie in state. One of them stands out to you - "Solaire of the Sun rests here" is inscribed on the coffin.
You check out the East Gallery. This gallery is devoted to sculpture and physical artwork, with plenty of impressive sculptures adorning the wing.

Oh, that reminds me.
I wanted to see the galleries themselves, too. Galleries within a gallery.
Mmhm. I understand why the Maestro was so excited about sending me here for my studies.
Would Fascia and I be able to visit the West Gallery?

You investigate the Tomb. It appears to be and ancient tomb of unknown make. A single massive sarcophagus sits in the middle of the room, with mysterious markings all over the walls. The sarcophagus is sealed and cannot be opened.
You visit the West Gallery. In contrast to East, this one is entirely about artwork and paintings, several of them hanging on the walls. One of them appears to be a signed original masterwork. Impressive.

Of course, with Gadd being a massive coffee affictioniado, or just a regular caffeine addict, you brew the most enticing excuse for coffee to sate the professors curiosity. Mona watches in horror, quietly rambling about how this breaches all Gadd related coffee brewing protocols, but Tanner grins in delight.
As if on queue, as soon as you declare it brewed, a tape recorder drops in front of you.
Hello! Is... is this thing on? Yes! Gaddtastic. You've reached Professor Gadd Zook's automated caffiene detection messaging service. I am presently unable to take your brew, for I am neck deep in last minute preparations for the year's Grand Experiment.
I've encountered a... slight problem with my readings. The light of the moon is waning even further, and its structural integrity is... compromised. Those old folklore tales contain nothing that might explain this development. By my readings, it may only take a single paranormal bolt of energy to shatter the moon into pieces! Alas, this shall not do. I've devised a [the recording cuts to static here] to capture and secure such pieces in the event of a lunar catastrophe. Not only that, but my [additional static, and odd wailing]
So! I've been working in the Paranormal Dimension to hide, with no time for even the most delicious brew, or I've been kidnapped. Likely not however, for the future awaits! If this message is directed at Mona, I implore you to leave the hazard report you've undoubtedly prepared on my desk. I promise, the 307 count high pile is on my to-do list.
If I'm running more than slightly late to greet this years guests, then I've instructed my assistant Tanner to let everyone know I am not out of reach: a majority of them need to agree to meet in the Foyer for the introduction, then one knocks three times on the main door. I shall explain this odd ritual further in person shortly thereaf-
The tape cuts out, and you notice the recorder has vanished through the floor. Once again... you feel as if you're being watched, but the gaze is much more... sinister than Tanner's.
As stated, if a majority of players agree to meet in the foyer and carry out the odd ritual, Day 0 will end, and the game will proceed as soon as possible.
Please finalise your investigations before making your collective decision!
WINTER:
What is this "Paranormal Dimension" he is talking about? Is that what is behind the sealed door?
You know what? I am so through with this. The time for idle parlay is over, it is time for action!
QIBLI:
Hey Winter. As your tactics guy, let me remind you of the advantageous situation you're in right now. No one knows what you're capable of, so that makes you're the big guy on the board with a lot of leverage.
Clearly, what you want to do is maintain that leverage by being vague about--
WINTER:
Yes yes, I understand what needs to be done!
WINTER:
I, Prince Winter of the Icewings, Cousin to the Ice Queen, have decided to immediately and very publicly use my abilitiy!
QIBLI:
NO! Come on!! You pompous ass!! That is the exact opposite of wh--
WINTER:
Quiet, Sandbrain! I'm working!
I ready my notes and all that.
WINTER:
Now that I've "spoken" to you, you should have become a valid target. And your employees have so helpfully informed me of your clearance to enter that ominous sealed room... So, as part of your "preparations" as you put it, you've certainly been in there today, have you not?
You don't need to answer. I have ways to find out.
WINTER:
I hereby offer this sketch of you as tribute and invoke the Rite of Recollection! Reveal to me what you were doing inside the sealed room and what its purpose is, so I can put this mystery to rest!
QIBLI:
Dude, they were probably gonna open that damn door later today! This is so completely stupid!
WINTER:
No, I am done waiting, and I am twice as done making coffee for imbeciles! I WILL have this information!

You swig the Ghastly Winter Brew. The combination of unprocessed tree sap, gear lubricant, and a haphazardly tossed in vial of what might be ghost energy reacts with your stomach in interesting ways. It kills you instantly, and Mona practically faints. The Dark Moon revives you from drinking such... bitter coffee.
If Gadd were here, he'd be delighted.

As if marred by unfortunate delays in the space time continuum, another recorder drops by you.
Hello! Is... is this thing on? Yes! Gaddtastic. You've reached Professor Gadd Zook's automated caffiene detection messaging service. I am presently unable to ta[...]The door to th[GARBLED NOISE] will be a fine addition to the experiment. Audio log, Moonsday, 23:48.

The recorder bursts into flames, and leaves behind nothing but ash.
WINTER:
It appears this door, too, has the power to mess with memories. I strongly urge all of you to steer clear of it.
And make sure to keep the scavengers away from it as well, for their own safety.
Do not go looking for the two keys that fit into this door either. I am declaring this a restricted zone for the time being.
WINTER:
I'm beginning to think Tempest is correct. That Gadd man needs a swift back talon to the head for installing something this dangerous in his facility to facilitate his misguided experiment.

Whoa! What the- that sword, that's giving off some crazy Esoteric readings! But it looks like something cobbled together out of a buncha gaudy junk. No way is it just some kind of arts-and-crafts project, not the way she's talking about it - unless she's just flat-out nutso. Maybe a housing, for some kind of weapon-based Anomaly? Liturgic? Occultic?
Kyeh, no way, why bother to hide it if that was the case? There'd be no point. Unless it was a distinct and known historical artifact, or otherwise obviously-anomalous item, it'd just look like any other weapon. Well, maybe it is something obviously anomalous, a sentient being hidden away in a casing of cold steel? In that case, it might be worth retrieving for further research, but at the same time, all this talk of art and galleries, maybe she's just some bum artist believing so strongly in her mediocre creation that it manifests Liturgic properties?
Kyahaha, I wouldn't be surprised, maybe it's not even w-
//: There's been a change in plans. Ignore the turtle, the ghosts. The worthless "anomalies", barely worth the documents upon which you've written their names. Investigate [BPI-1352 - "FASCIA"] immediately. High potential application. Escalate to higher priorities alongside Access Level X-class Directives [REDACTED] and [DATA EXPUNGED] Do not disobey ://
...Yeesh, I get it. I'll do what I can. I'm no miracle maker, I'm just...
...Sick of waiting around for this Gadd guy! Hiding out in some Level 3 Manifested Esoteric Plane? Come on, talk about a coward. So afraid of inquiries into the accuracy of his research by his peers that he's forced to hide himself away? It's a surprise he ever got anything past the review process. No wonder his name's not out there among the greats in our shared field.
Yeah, I'll head to the Foyer. Let's smoke this fraud out!

Okay. I'll go to the Foyer, too.
Is Mr. Gadd the Maestro of this place?
I'll do my best to give him a good reception.
Aspetti... non è bello.
Don't touch Fascia. She's for display only.
She's trembling a bit... but, I think we can still be friends. She doesn't seem too upset.
Usually, when people get near her, she gets nervous. They've been very rough with her in the past.
It's tough for me to say no, especially when they just want to know Fascia better. But she isn't ready yet.
When she's completed, or if we become really good friends, I'll let you take a closer look at her.
I hope that's okay with you.

[As you finish the ritual, a shadow seems to fall over the entire Valley. The Dark Moon wavers in the sky, its light dimming... and fading.
Before, with a loud shattering noise, a shadowy cube rockets through the moon with a defiant uppercut. The moon splits into six shards, and five of them vanish into darkness.
Shortly after they do, the door to the Foyer swings wide open, slamming and bouncing back as it reveals a massive, blocky figure. With a rugged slam, he adorns his crown with one jewel-like Dark Moon shard gripped tightly in his hand.]
Took you long enough! What's a King gotta do to get some proper respect around here?
Oh, wait, yeah. I ain't introduced myself. Alright, punks, sit down and listen up!
The name's King Blocky Boo, the First. Your half-assed professor chump, Gadd Zooks, thought he could keep me in the Paranormal Dimension. He wanted to use me as the centerpiece of his Grand Experiment. Me! Can you believe that? What an ego on the guy!
But I showed him a thing or two! So, now we're doing this my way. It's the first time I've been out of the Paranormal Dimension in goddamn years! I gotta celebrate. And what better way to celebrate than that ol' classic? For the...
Hmmm.. is it... huh. Yeah, it is. Alright.
"For the first time! The Ghost Complex and Evershade Valley are seeing a Killing Game! Participation is mandatory and you've all already been enjoined in it. Congratulations!"
[Confusion, confidence, excitement, and annoyance rip through the crowd of test subjects in an instant. Surely, reactions to this development would be mixed. Yet, in spite of the overwhelming scenario before her, Mona was unexpectedly calm, and she was trying to impart that energy onto everyone else in her wake.]
Ooooookay. Alright. Okay. It's the big one. This is the year it finally happened. Okay. Section 1 of the Ghost Complex Emergency Handbook is specifically for this situation. Though, th-this is more than Code Red, with the moon shattering as well... that's Sections 2 and 3 wrapped in to this... it's like a Code... rainbow.
I'll have to refer to the Improvisations, and when I get my hands on the physical copy of my manual, block-shaped bastard, you're going to be bound by so much red tape it'll make even my head spin. Everyone, as Chief Safety Officer, please remain as you are.
[Mona stumbles over herself as she turns to the test subjects, landing head first on the ground.]
Ow. You're going to have to trust us to get you out of this safely. Tanner and Vigil, Gaddzy has trained us for combat specifically against demonic spirits like th-
"A Killing Game. Run by a ghost, instead of running over ghosts..."
T-Tanner!?
"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. What's the use of fighting back? Have you seen this guy? I can feel the paranormal energy radiating off him. Alright, Boss Boo. What do you need?"
Hark, thy treachery was but an open secret. My allegiance is to this Valley, much like thee, but mine faith in Master Gadd's plan is more resolute, you dog. Mine hammer will strike your bell true.
Prithee, Mona, didst thine emergency manual not ever manifest a new section dealing with Tanner himself?
Haha... we're really gonna get a lot of use from those improvisations...
"Can it! At least one of Gadd's has a real head on his shoulders. Ha! What's your name?"
"Tanner, boss."
"I like you, Tanner! Alright, you're my enforcer. Keep 'em all in line for me! Now, as for the rest of you... Let's not have any runaways!"
With a loud cackle, King Blocky Boo concentrates. A dark blast of energy erupts from the crown, sailing into the sky and splitting into a dome. A shield of paranormal energy comes down, containing the site of the GHOST Complex, inside and outside, within an unbreakable shell of darkness. The Paranormal Dimension map has been unlocked, and Killing Game rules are now in effect.
"There we go. Now it's all set up proper-like. Until one of you is left, there's no escape, so start with the killing. You can even use those toys the good professor gave you, if you don't have paranormal powers yourself."
Thy vaunted crown of glory is hollow with power. Tis but a single strike that shall bring thee down, demonic spirit.
Section 0a. If the moon is shattered, and you can only possess one, then the other Dark Moon Shards are out there. Gadd said he was working on a last minute... something, in case this emergency happened. Why did he have to seclude himself so close to the day!?
This is going to breach so many protocols. So. So many. But I'm going to get to the bottom of this. He must have accessed the terminal and read up on Gadd's... everything, and anything he couldn't get...
"I'm sure I'll be able to give it to the new boss now, hah!"
"Bingo. Don't worry, we'll make sure Gadd's Grand Experiment is carried out, but the methods are just gonna be a teensy bit different. Brawn over brain, as they say! In fact, I'll even give you some encouragement to work together."

- Cargo Lift: A moving cargo platform that now serves as an elevator for the three floors of the Complex.
B1F Ruby Wing
- Crypt: An underground crypt. Some sealed coffins lie in state within the room.
- Basin: A room with a completely frozen floor. The ice here is polished to a mirror finish.
- Haunted Catacombs: A maze-like room with more passages than should be possible. It's very easy to get lost here.
- Tomb: An ancient tomb of unknown make. A single massive sarcophagus sits in the middle of the room, with mysterious markings all over the walls.
B1F Sapphire Wing
- Roundhouse: The central hub of the minecart tracks that run throughout the Basement. Several minecarts can be found here, as well as various minecart and track controls.
- Guard Tunnel: A linear tunnel flanked by suits of armor on both sides. Approaching them causes them to automatically force you back.
- Prospector's Crossing: A small, frozen room. The ice that covers the entire middle of the room looks... concerningly precarious.
- Ceremonial Chamber: A huge throne sits in the center of this room, radiating power and authority. A banner with an unknown symbol hangs on the wall behind it.

As you have already witnessed, this game features NPCs, each with a role in the game and its story. Each NPC can commit murder, be murdered and be eliminated for a murder just like a player. There will be a heavy penalty for eliminating an innocent NPC, to offset the player count not going down. NPCs also have their own account and can be asked to testify about their actions that night, but also like players, they may lie, or mislead you.
While your time at the Complex is precious, more so now that there's a KG going on, we encourage you to get to know your fellow volunteers and the employees of the GHOST Complex. For professional reasons, the valley caretakers will try to avoid making connections with specific test subjects in favor of team bonding.
Instead of bond being tracked per player, in AKG2x2 bond is tracked per NPC. In your night submission, you can specify one NPC you wish to spend time with, and dedicate a portion of your actions to doing something with them, granting them a bond point. Additional effort may reward you with lore, or more personal interactions as seen in previous KGs. You can still perform actions with other NPCs, but you can only qualify for a bond point with one. If you don't specify, we will seek clarification based on your results.
The more all players spend time with NPCs, the more they'll build rapport as a whole, and unlock powers that can aid in investigation or in your night actions. This manifests as an NPC's portrait frame becoming more elaborate, similar to Luigi's Mansion.
You can also choose not to bond with NPCs. The more bond points that go unused, the more the Empty Portrait will be strengthened instead. Its powers are small and minor by comparison, but relate to buffing players as a group instead.
For your efforts during Day 0, the following NPC Bond Powers have been unlocked for use Day 1 onwards.
