New York Mysteries 5 Chapter 1 Walkthrough

As soon as you enter the game you are given two tasks:

Task 1: Find out what happened to the painting

The monster has disappeared from the painting. Either the painting was stolen and replaced with a fake one, or mystical forces are involved here.

Task 2: Find Michael

The gallery director was supposed to meet me but it seems that he forgot about it.
