Press Release

Auf einer unerforschten Tropeninsel kann alles passieren...

Bei einer Solo-Weltumseglung strandet die abenteuerlustige Mina an der Küste einer wilden, offenbar unbewohnten Insel, die auf keiner Karte verzeichnet ist. Sie erkundet die Umgebung und entdeckt Gegenstände, Wohngebäude und Maschinen der Leute, die vor ihr hier waren.

Um die Insel verlassen zu können, schlägt Mina ihr Lager vorerst in der Ruine des Granithauses auf und stellt im Dschungel ihre Überlebenskünste unter Beweis. Dann bemerkt Sie eine Gestalt in den Schatten... Könnte das der rastlose Geist des legendären Kapitän Nemo sein?

Schlüpfen Sie in Minas Rolle, lösen Sie eine Vielzahl kniffliger Rätsel und setzen Sie die Geräte auf der Nautilus ein, um in die Zivilisation zurückzukehren - sonst sitzen Sie für immer auf der Insel fest.

Reisen Sie über Jules Vernes Klassiker hinaus...

Ihr Kampf ums Überleben beginnt...

• Ausgeklügeltes Inventarsystem, mit dem Gegenstände kombiniert und neue Werkzeuge hergestellt werden können.* Eine Fülle verschiedener Aufgaben und Rätsel.
• Eingebautes Hilfesystem, das Ihnen auf Ihrer Reise hilft.
• Atmosphärischer Sound, der Sie ganz in die Welt eintauchen lässt.
