Receiving an all expenses paid invitation to the maiden voyage of the Mary Celeste II, you play as Mary Morehouse. Having been afraid of the sea ever since you were a child you decide to face your fears and take the captain up on his offer for a free vacation. As soon as you arrive things start to go awry as a storm overtakes the ship and the crew disappears. You must race to discover what happened to the fated ship before you too are lost at sea like the original Mary Celeste.

The Mary Celeste was a merchant ship discovered in 1872 unmanned and abandoned in the Atlantic Ocean, despite beautiful weather and a crew of able and experienced seamen. The Mary Celeste herself was in perfect condition and still under full sail, with over six months of food and water still on board. Her cargo was effectively untouched and the personal belongings of the crew and passengers were still in place, including valuables. The crew was never seen or heard from again, and what happened to them is often cited as the greatest maritime mystery of all time.

As the ancestor of the person who found the abandoned Mary Celeste, you take on the roll of Mary Morehouse as she joins guests and crew of the Mary Celeste II on its maiden voyage. Shortly after the boat leaves the dock strange events start to happen and Mary must work to escape this ill fated ship. Explore the mysterious theories behind the disappearance of the original Mary Celeste while trying to save your self from a similar demise. Sail the seas in this haunting adventure, The Mystery of the Mary Celeste.
