Graphite Press

Puzzle designed by Tien118

Since the rogue alchemist group "Crux" have broken off of House Surpulo, they have been trying to take back one of it's closest guarded secrets, Surge Alloy. One of the keys to a great heist is a way to be discrete. In comes graphite, a wonder material that can coat ordinary fabrics to make them as dark as the night itself, perfect for garments made to sleuth into unwanted places undetected.
