Game based on Shakespeare's "The Tempest". The game's plot is about that the Prince of Naples Ferdinand have to help the Duke of Milan the magician Prospero to find his books of magic.
Prospero used his magic to create the palace and temples of the island but one day his 13 books of Magic dissapear and Prospero's magic lost. Without Prospero's magic the island is going to collapse so Ferdinand quest is about finding them searching in the mysterious island and library.
The game opens with a quote from Shakespeare's play The Tempest, on which the game seems to be loosely based. The plot concisely unfolds during the full-motion video that follows. And with an American actor! Jack Donner, who appeared in series like Star Trek and Mission: Impossible, and more recently in the J. Edgar movie, stars as the game's narrator. Not only that, but the whole game is in English! There is almost no text during gameplay, but the FMVs punctuating your progress are all spoken in English (and subbed in Japanese).
According to the play, Prospero uses the magical powers of its books to bring the conspirator to the island and punish him. In the process are also brought the King of Naples, Alonso, Antonio's accomplice, and his son the Prince of Naples, Ferdinand. Antonio and Alonso are completely absent of this game, however. You assume the role of Ferdinand, towards whom Prospero seems to have no hostility, and you seek to get your hand on the Duke's 13 magical tomes on Celes Island. There is no text and no major event taking place during gameplay - and neither is there any kind of psychological development regarding the characters, as Ferdinand remains silent for the whole of the game.
The book number 13 is called the Book of Watermarks.
