No matter its format, the origin of this benign text is unknown to you for now. Once in your hands, however, you begin to notice oddities: Pages glisten in moonlight; a sound mimics your favourite bird call; pictures move when you're not looking. You can’t discard the Almanac for long; it always comes back to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou are sure there's more to uncover - either about the book or the person(s) who sent it to you - but you'll need help.
