Once the opening story hands you the keys to the city, Silver Palace runs on a loop: two regenerating bars, a daily task track, one claim per day on boss rewards, and a weekly roguelike. Everything below is CBT2-observed from the Dichotomy test unless marked otherwise — caps and income are exactly the kind of numbers that change at launch, and every change will be logged here after December 14.
The two bars
| Bar | Spent on | Cap (CBT2) |
|---|---|---|
| Vitality | EXP, Motive upgrade materials, bosses | 240 shown on screen; regen rate not published |
| Free Time | City Affairs minigames — cards, the Coffee House, horse racing | Capped; regen rate not published |
The one rule that outlives every balance patch: a capped bar is wasted progress. Spend before you log off, even if you spend it imperfectly.
Daily checklist
- Spend Vitality — EXP and material runs, plus the Case Review boss fight if you have a claim.
- Make the one Case Review claim. You can fight Case Review bosses as often as you like, but only one reward group can be claimed per day — make it a boss you actually need materials from.
- Push City Roaming to 100 Steps. The daily task track fills a Steps meter; community guides put the milestone chests at 100 Steps. Logging in plus one Hilbert’s Hotel run covered most of the meter in beta.
- Claim City Property output and reassign assistants. Property bought early pays out every day — see the next section.
- Send Acquaintance gifts up to the daily cap. Gift preferences vary per character; gifts are cheap affinity and affinity is progress.
- Spend Free Time on whichever City Affairs minigame you are not sick of.
Weekly checklist
- Hilbert’s Hotel, about two runs. The weekly roguelike: one controlled character plus three supports, with a Membership Privileges tree that grows between runs. Beta clear guides put a full weekly clear at about two runs.
- Thought Experiment, the ten-floor timed climb, if your second team is ready — later floors expect one.
- Restock anything the week’s cases consumed — tracks, tools, and patience.
City Property: start it early
City Property is the quiet engine of progression. Buy a property as soon as the system opens, upgrade it, and assign an assistant; in the beta this was a main passive source of scarce upgrade materials. The spend-first order for its output, and the shop tabs that matter, belong to a full guide once launch numbers are public — for now: own property, feed it, collect daily.
