Story:

The year is 1928, fish oil magnate and member of the Explorers' Club, Commander Theodore Holmes is attempting to travel across the North Pole in a hot air balloon. As he is making preparations, a man suffering from the climate stumbles in and mutters many incoherent words, he mentions a luxury liner called the Herculania and that the people on it need help. Intrigued by this, he proceeds in the direction of the liner...and disappears. In 1952, Matthew Holmes has embarked upon a quest to find his father and gain some closure. Unfortunately, he has lost his way and is separated from the rest of his party in a blizzard. He has begun to lose control of his understanding between dreams and reality and is about to succumb to the weather when he suddenly discovers the ship that his father was searching for. Could this ship hold the answers to his disappearance?

System Requirements:
Windows 95
Quick Time
Pentium
8MB RAM
Quad-speed CD ROM drive

Important:
Mount the .ccd file in a program like DAEMON Tools, install and:
This game runs just fine on Windows XP if you set screen resolution
to 800/600 at 16 bit colors. You also have to run the game in 95
compatibility mode. If the game sound is garbled or glitchy, exit the
game, go to your Control Panel and open the Quicktime player. Set
the Sound Output to 8 bit. I managed to run it on Vista, but encountered a lot of crashes, probably because of the version of Quick Time I have. For windows 7 you might need Virtual Machine with Windows 95.
