Oddities
Step inside a world where the unusual feels right at home.
Tucked away on a quiet, cobblestone street, Oddities is no ordinary toyshop. Behind its glowing windows lies a collection of curious creations: ticking clocks, mechanical creatures, forgotten blueprints, and toys that almost seem alive.
The merchandise is nearly as interesting as the customers, whose payment often consists of whispered secrets in the owner’s office. Caroline Kahler is a mystery to most who know her—just the way she likes it.
River Ch’ae is the toyshop painter and fixer. He can paint the perfect clockface or repair the smallest toy. Whenever Caroline disappears, River stays in the shop, tinkering away at his workbench. She always returns with something new, whether that’s a pastry, a newspaper, or something that River highly suspects she gained through illegal means.
As wonder blends with mystery, every corner invites you deeper into the unknown. Stay long enough and you might start to wonder if things are not always as they appear.
