Taken
directly from the game's introduction movie:
" I'm off the rocky
coast of Maine, heading toward the Island of Matinicus, alone. My
Egyptology professor, Dr. Hargrove, was always recounting his trips to
Northern Africa, in the 1930's, and his search for a mystical
Water-Clock, from the dynasty of the Pharaoh Ramses. The Clock
supposedly, had powers to grant everlasting life. Claimed he found it
once, but whatever Hargrove found, mysteriously disapeared after a visit
by the expedition's patron, Tess Conway. I've picked-up the trail where
Hargrove left-off, it has lead me to heiress Tess Conway's island
estate. Tess was obsessed with the occult, and her greed drew her
towards Duncan DeVries, a debonaire two-bit smuggler. In its heyday the
Conway estate hosted wild, extravagant parties. It has been deserted for
decades. Tess and her "society friends", disapeared in 1932, on the
night of the summer solstice. I'm just getting my first glimpse of the
house. The weather's getting worse, but I'm almost ashore. I fear my
life may be in danger, but I have come prepared. (sound of shotgun being
cocked) Hmmm, that's strange, my watch has stopped. "
Damn -
need to replay that shit. |
