Returning with Alidoro inLies of P: Overtureis the idea of cipher machines that carry secrets and hints to hidden areas within the world. Though the DLC area of the past is small compared to the greater present, it still manages to expertly hide the unknown in tiny nooks and crannies that would otherwise go unnoticed by all but the cleverest of sleuths.
