Orpheo's Palace

Orpheo's Palace is the theatre and home of Orpheo the Great, along with his daughter's Mary and Elizabeth. This is where all the events of The Tale of Orpheo's Curse take place throughout the game (excluding outside the theatre at the very beginning).

History:
During the 1920's, Orpheo's Palace was at the height of popularity with everyone coming to see all the magic tricks and performances. This included Orpheo's Magic Acts, Aldo's Escape Acts and Federico's Music Variety Acts, though at one time Mary (Orpheo's eldest daughter) was considered for a Fortune Telling Act (it's not confirmed if Mary ever did do this Act).

That was until October 31th 1928 when Elizabeth (Orpheo's youngest daughter) permanently disappeared after Orpheo performed the Teleportation Trick, since then all tricks performed on-stage went horribly wrong. This caused the theatre to be closed down and all the locals to believe the place to be haunted.

Events during Orpheo's Curse:
One eventful night, brother and sister Terry and Alex decide to explore the Theatre and are drawn to the Backstage Door of the building. Once inside the door locks behind them, preventing the duo from escape and are soon greeted by Orpheo. From there, the adventure begins where Terry and Alex must explore Orpheo's Palace and discover the true story behind Orpheo's Curse.

Both Terry and Alex must explore the theatre to discover the story surrounding Orpheo's Curse, solve puzzles and locate The Five Enchanted Items. Only then can they break the curse to set all the ghosts free.

The Theatre has many levels to it which the player must navigate through on their quest. Orpheo's Palace has a lower level, a ground level and an upper level. Terry is able to explore the lower and ground level in the beginning of the game, while Alex can explore the Upper level of the theatre when the character's switch.
