F.F. Gebrandt CORDIALLY INVITES All Londoners to participate in the Raising of a New Museum of Prelapsarian History & accompanying Exhibition, to put on Display Curiosities Historical, Palaeontological, & Philosophical.

The Prelapsarian Exhibition was London's summer festival in 2022. It commenced on July 25th and completed on August 5th.

The Museum itself remained a place to visit after the story closed. It can be found in Veilgarden.

• See F.F. Gebrandt's Prelapsarian Exhibition (historical) for a day to day recap of the events.

After playing through this storylet, you will have the opportunity to decide whether to purchase a ushabti. You can participate in the investigation without one, but some content will only be available with the ushabti.

Once the game is afoot, you can check the Developments in an Ongoing Investigation storylet to find out what's been uncovered so far. Putting the Pieces Together (Prelapsarian Crisis) contains some background about the ubshati. Have some of that coffee to obtain another one-week Mood Hat, Lingering Excitation, with a +20 bonus to Watchful and Dangerous.
