How It Begins
Escaping on a 1912 New York bound ocean liner, you have a stolen painting worth millions hidden in the mailroom of the ship. With a buyer arranged when you arrive, all you have to do is avoid capture and fate.
The game is based on the Titanic, although this is not mentioned directly during the game.
Notable Features
- Unusually for a game based on this fated ship, the player spends this adventure mainly in the second class area of the ship.
