THE TALLY CLOISTER

🧭 This chain is also a 3D maze

The Tally Cloister is this same chain as a place you walk through. Each stage is a terminal beside a locked gate, and solving it opens the gate. The maze also hides data fragments with a bonus message you can only get there.

Your progress and score are the same either way, so you can start in one and finish in the other. If you want the maze to be a surprise, start there.

📜 Briefing
Clerk Imre spent forty years balancing the books of a mountain cloister. When the monks left, the ledger stayed behind and grew into a maze of linked hex blocks. Its columns became corridors and its totals became doors.

You have come to find the one entry that never balanced. Three gates stand between you and the final page, and each holds a note the clerk left for a careful reader.
  1. 1 Gate One - The Clerk's Desk
  2. 2 Gate Two - Hall of Margins 🔒 opens with stage 1's answer
  3. 3 Gate Three - The Final Page 🔒 opens with stage 2's answer
