Your ship was lost to a raging storm, and you’ve awakened aboard the Dutchman. If you don’t escape before sunrise, you’ll be bound to her forever. The only hope is the mythical diamond, the Heart of Calypso, hidden somewhere on the lower decks.
The sun rises in one hour. Find the diamond or be lost to the deep.
