About the Game

A shipwreck has been hidden on this island for 300 years. Will you be the one to find it?

Story

In the spring of 1721, the Spanish galleon El Diablo Dormido - The Sleeping Devil, vanished from all imperial records without explanation. No wreckage was ever found. No survivors ever surfaced. For three centuries historians assumed the ship was lost to a storm somewhere in the Atlantic. They were wrong. It never left the island. And neither did its secrets.
