Let's begin...)

As the Pacific Princess, affectionately dubbed "the Love Boat," slipped away from the harbor, the cheers of the departing passengers filled the air. The cruise ship, a beacon of luxury amidst the endless ocean, is now the only point of civilization for miles.

Ahead, a tantalizing destination awaits: Isla Más Afuera, home to the Whisper Cove resort. This secluded paradise, shrouded in a veil of mystery, promises a respite from the ordinary.

At first, the gentle rocking of the ship lulled you into a relaxed state, but now, something feels... off. You can't help but notice a strange, almost eerie calm has settled over the ship. The usual laughter and chatter of passengers seems muted, replaced by a sense of unease. Even the strains of live jazz music reaching you from the Lido Deck seem haunting and off-key.

The sunset sky, usually a canvas of vibrant blue with orange-pink hues, is now tinged with unnatural shades of purple and crimson.

The ocean, once calm and inviting, seems to churn restlessly beneath the surface, as if something dark and ancient is stirring below.

A peculiar scent fills the air, a mix of salt and something... ancient. It's as if a forgotten door has been opened, and a whisper of the unseen world has seeped through. You can't quite place it, but it's unsettling nonetheless.

A shiver runs down your spine as you realize that this voyage may not be as peaceful as you had hoped.

It's time to investigate.
