The island turns out to be part of a Lovecraftian universe full of Ancient gods, mythical creatures and magic, but this is not a horror game in any way. Norah receives a package in the post containing items linked to the expedition including a Ritual Dagger, a key and a photograph and decides to search for Harry on what the locals call the ‘Cursed Island’ herself.Īrriving at the island just after waking up from a dream about swimming in a psychedelic underwater kingdom, Norah (feeling strangely re-energised) sets off alone and is soon exploring a beautiful island paradise with locations ranging from golden sandy beaches to a looming mountainous landscape straight from the cover of Houses of The Holy by Led Zepplin.

Contact with the party has died out and the ship that they sailed on has not returned to its home port. Her husband Harry puts together an expedition and sets off to an Island 74 miles off the coast of Tahiti in order to search for a rumoured cure for his wife’s illness, but many months after setting off the expedition is feared lost.

We learn that she is getting weaker and weaker but the only sign of her illness is a strange pattern on the skin of her hands. Set in 1934, Call of The Sea finds the lead character Norah suffering from an unnamed affliction that is destroying her quality of life. Armed only with her puzzle solving abilities and strange dreams, a young woman goes it alone in an attempt to find them. An expedition goes missing on a Polynesian island whilst searching for the cure for a rare disease.
