With his constant stage fright and unique appearance, Otto our protagonist,
eventually, put on a white garb and cap then barged his way out of Vaudeville

Talent Town, past the grim Greyshade Valley where he could live cheap thanks to
the rude furniture.

bubble has burst! Interestingly, labor jobs are decreasing as work is deemed
dangerous due to suspicious disappearances.
