Game Description

England during its colonial era: The British Empire is bogged down in difficulties. Trouble is brewing in the Indian colonies. Tooth Island, an island cloaked in mystery, is ruled by the strange Doctor T., a tea-grower and trader obsessed by a sinister cat-and-mouse game with England. He has been accused of using self-bred plant pests to ruin the tea harvests all over India. Yet the truth is: Could there be a lot more at stake? And what can be done against his plans? Queen Victoria decides to send off one of her best men to find out what’s going on.

Unfortunately, Jack Keane is not the best man we just spoke of. But the young captain of a sailing ship is certainly up to his neck in difficulties, too. To put it plainly, he’s in dire financial straits. And to top it all off, he borrowed the little money he has left from the wrong guy – and that guy wants his money back. He’s sent his goons to lie in wait for Jack, to kidnap him and lock him up in an unknown place where they can beat the debts out of him! That is precisely the spot he is in when our tale begins.

In thirteen chapters you can join Jack (and sometimes Amanda, his attractive companion) as he experiences hair-raising adventures. They not only send you chasing back and forth across mysterious Tooth Island, they cast light on Jack’s forgotten past and confront him with his deepest fears. All you need to set off on this journey is a PC, your wits and a thirst for adventure!

Critic Reviews

IGN Review (7.5 out of 10)

A traditional adventure game wouldn't be complete if it didn't have the brave hero, feisty love interest, wannabe pirates, sinister bad guy (complete with perfectly manicured moustache), and, of course, monkeys. Deck13, the developer of Ankh, return with an entertaining and charming adventure inspir...more
