Inspired by Jules Verne's classic novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Return to Mysterious Island casts you in the role of Mina, a woman stranded on the shores of a deserted island with the unsettled ghost of Captain Nemo. The only way to get off the island is to find Captain Nemo's body to give him a proper burial. This goal requires you to travel deep below the island surface, where you can explore the Nautilus, solve puzzles, and discover various items. Other locations include a granite house and a volcano.
