Incident #: 0808-1718

Description: this incident occurred in 1718, near N[REDACTED], Bahamas. A Fioncit Royal Navy ship set sail to retrieve the Book of Dreams (E-0808-a), an artifact said to be made by the gods and to be able to fulfill one's deepest desires. Months later, the ship returned empty, without its crew nor any remains of them.

Note: we have recently recovered the Captain's diary. We thought this would shed light on the fate of the crew, but it only brought more questions. We would like your professional opinion on this matter.

Was all this an act of gods or an act of Man?

Thank you for your aid.

Regards,

B. C.

ACTUAL CREATOR'S NOTE

Thank you for playing! 

This is the first work in the 0808 series (set in the same universe). YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE PLAYED OTHER WORK(S) IN THE SERIES TO PLAY THIS ONE.

0808-1718 started as one work out of a series of school projects, where we were required to combine GenAI with storytelling. Though only the graphics are made with GenAI. For this work specifically, that means only the cover/banner is GenAI-made (nothing inside the actual work).
