1 error - on screen that says my fake ID worked, the audio reads about the violin player leaving and you being followed. I did this at night and it did make seeing the clock faces a bit difficult (side bar, I got distracted when the clues was concert I went to a hour long concert in the church)

A note from Radu Otopeleanu

“Every place tells stories. Some of those stories are very old, some of them are even forgotten and buried. Like a reanimator, I bring them back to life, that is my joyful struggle.”
