ESTABLISH NOTES
Notes
A year ago, the passenger liner Orpheus mysteriously disappeared while sailing the Atlantic Ocean. The Orpheus, owned by the wealthy Rockwell family, was carrying the entire family and their invited guests when it vanished.
According to the investigator's final report, the Orpheus sank due to a sudden tempest. A massive search team was gathered to recover evidence, but the search failed to find any conclusive evidence, and the case was closed unsolved. All passengers were presumed dead.
Orpheus, the passenger liner...
William Rockwell, the patriarch of the Rockwell family, constructed this ocean liner specifically for the family's use. It was a private ship, and passengers were limited to immediate members of the Rockwell family along with a few select guests.
Although not on the scale of the huge public ocean liners of its day, its facilities and construction were of the highest quality and rivaled the best of them. Its navigational equipment was entirely suitable for crossing the Atlantic, as was popular in those days. The interior of the liner was the epitome of luxury and reflected the expensive tastes of its owner, William Rockwell.
Rockwell Family
They were millionaires in the upper echelon of American society. Their ancestors were European nobility who emigrated to America in the early 19th century after their social status fell.
The start of the Rockwell millions was a large gold deposit discovered by young William Rockwell, who established their wealth and still reigns as the family patriarch. The Rockwells used their tremendous acquired wealth to invest in industries in various fields, every one of which was a success. As the 20th century began, the Rockwells secured their empire and became a powerful force with major influence in the financial sector.
William Rockwell
He established the Rockwell empire and still reigns as its patriarch. Aside from his tremendous power in building the family's current wealth in a single generation, his forbidding personality has instilled fear in those around him. Apparently, there is a grave secret behind his attained wealth, but no one knows the whole truth.
DIARY
Journal of Richard Osmond
On that day, I found that fate truly exists. I received news of the fire and went to my childhood home, carrying the small key my father had sent. The policeman who accompanied me to the house said my father had been missing ever since the fire.
As I was sifting through the debris in my father's room, I came across a grandfather clock, which had not been burned. The hands were not moving. I wound it with a key that I found in the ashes, and a stairway opened behind it, leading underground.
I picked up my father's diary that lay on the stairs. The scenes drawn in the red diary were puzzling. What did all this mean? It was an utter mystery at the time.
I found a painting in the basement from which I discovered instructions that would unlock the secrets of the room. I followed the instructions and, instantly, I was overtaken by a strange sensation. I found myself standing on a ship I had never seen before.
On that accursed ship, ruled by a twisted fate...
First day on the ship
The passenger liner Orpheus was supposed to have sunk. The apparent captain of the ship was just a black shadow with no substance. I searched the ship, while constantly being attacked by the specter of a young girl.
I met several more of these black shadows. They were cast by the dead who wander the ship, held hostage by their pasts, some by fear, some by the desire for revenge on a lover. I saw one of them in the dark chart room. It was terrified of the darkness and sought the light.
Tools were in the crew storage room. Gloves were obtained in the previous world. Bare wire was needed to replace the failed electrical wiring. With these, I managed to provide light and release the black shadows.
The shadow of the captain pleaded with me to save this ship. I used the key I obtained to get to the lower decks and headed for
