Grandpa Mystery¶

Grandpa is missing, not necessarily the final boss or last scene.
Frame¶
Follow Grandpa's path — the child discovers who he was through people he helped.
Character design¶
Full profile: Grandpa Elias
Traces appear via Nori - Lighthouse Keeper, Pippa - Fisherman, Tomas - Harbour Master, bottle message. Do not over-randomize Grandpa items — emotionally important rewards should be deterministic.
Rules for content¶
- Mystery supports helping; it does not replace it
- Clues are emotional and relational, not puzzle-box exposition
- Child test protocol:

Open questions¶
- When/if Grandpa appears on-screen
