## Description
Miasto Tańczącego Karpia is a cooperative adventure that takes you to the City of the Dancing Carp on the eve of the grand Festival of the Seven-Armed Orangutan. The streets are bustling with preparations, but magical mishaps and unexpected disturbances threaten to ruin everything. It's up to you and your friends to help the residents and solve the problems. The game combines a richly illustrated seek-and-find album with a paragraph book. You'll explore detailed illustrations of the city, searching for numbered figures or objects that lead to passages in the text. These passages reveal characters' stories, present puzzles, and outline quests that often require you to locate items or individuals in other districts. The game is non-linear, allowing you to start anywhere and tackle interconnected mysteries at your own pace. Progress is tracked by keywords, collected items, or stickers placed on the illustrations, which permanently alter the scenes and may unlock new possibilities. It's an immersive and surprising experience, perfect for those who love collaborative storytelling and deduction challenges.
