Nodes
 |
Operation Everyone has their weapons drawn. They're definitely not here to negotiate. Self-explanatory.
|
 |
Emergency Operation Some violence may well exceed your expectations, a very common occurrence. An ISW-NO operation with various handicaps, similar to that of Challenge Modes, and always awards a Collectible when cleared.
|
 |
Dreadful Foe Criminals, ruffians, and the damned... You're in trouble. An operation featuring I.S.-exclusive bosses, which can be distinguished by the ISW-DF code.
|
 |
Encounter New friends, old rivals... Strange encounters never age. Only scars stand the test of time. A random event.
|
 |
Boons A little bit of help for your journey. Gives a random Collectible, which is unknown until actually given. Some Boons allow the player to choose from two Collectibles, one Rare and another of a random rarity.
|
 |
Safe House Quiet, comfortable, and secluded from the castle's trifling matters. It's time to take a break. Gives a free reward of the player's choosing from three of the options listed below:
|
 |
Downtime Recreation Give away all your resources in the name of art. A mini-game where the player spend resources for additional resources or even Collectibles depending on the player's fortune.
|
 |
Rogue Trader Neither an ally nor an enemy. Some people like to sit on the fence. See Rogue Trader for more information.
|
 |
Dense Fog There's something in the mist, but you cannot see anything... The node cannot be identified until they become accessible.
Nodes can only be in this state while the player is suffering from the Blind Hallucination. |
Floors
Ⅰ Mist-stricken Missteps
|
17:03 There is fog covering the entire area, and our squad has lost our way. Are we pushing forward, or are we merely dissolving ourselves away? Reverberation The mist has completely overwhelmed you. There is no longer a need to seek a way out, for this has become your home. |
Ⅱ Sunset Courtyard
|
19:24 The courtyard is filled with the sunset's afterglow, yet that is not the color of hope. Come in, come in, esteemed guests who have wandered astray. The castle welcomes you. Reverberation The castle has numerous trials in store for its visitors, and you are unable to pay the price of failure. |
Ⅲ Homeland Remnants
|
20:36 As the mist spreads into the castle and the vines make their way up the columns, the dark night appears to have retreated elsewhere for the moment. Do remember as you enjoy this moment of respite, however, that darkness is always right around the corner. Reverberation As you succumb to the dark shadows, you too will become part of the history of this place. |
Ⅳ Nightmare's Prelude
|
21:53 Darkness falls, the candles throughout the deserted castle begin to light up by themselves, and the silent Nightzmora begins to roam the shadows in search for prey who have lost their way. Reverberation The candle flames flicker ceaselessly, just as you yet remain in this old castle. You surrender to your endless nightmares, never to awaken again. |
Ⅴ Blood-soaked Corridor
|
00:00 Blood moons often signify the beginning of unfortunate tragedies in written accounts, and this omen is now shining down upon us through the windowpanes that line the corridor. Reverberation What will emerge beneath the blood moon? Panic? Fear? Frantic wailing? So be it. You have experienced it all. |
Ⅵ Hall of Desires
|
--:-- The purest and truest desires, standing above all time, have engulfed this space whole. Here, there is nothing but the endless thirst for aesthetics, fine arts, and perfection. Reverberation Too bad. You are not entirely unblemished. |

Result
When a Crimson Solitaire run ends, the ending will be shown if the run is completed; if the run fails, the "Reverberation" message is shown instead.
Afterwards, the credits (which can be skipped and viewed again from the result screen) will roll, showing the player's nickname under the title "Blood Diamond" and the Operators they have recruited throughout the run as the "casts", and highlights the player's actions throughout the run.
