An official press release launching the game was published in Aachen in January 2002.[5] One month later, Adventure Archiv released a preview and reported the game was due to be released on European shelves in March of that year.[3] The preview displayed the main character with new facial features. Cryo Interactive also assigned the project to the new development studio T-Bot, which incorporated a new game design.[3] The game was also reported to be coming out on CD and DVD for the MAC, but the release dates of these versions were not yet known.[3]
Plotedit
The game is set under the sea in the 21st century, where during a scientific assignment, a young oceanographer enters into a strange type of submarine hidden on an undersea rock shelf. The vessel turns out to be the famous Nautilus which was abandoned a great many years earlier by Captain Nemo.
Gameplayedit
The game plays as a Myst-clone first-person adventure game, in which the player navigates through a series of computer generated screens to interact with the environment and solve puzzles.
Receptionedit
By 2004, global sales of The Secret of the Nautilus had surpassed 117,000 copies.[6]
Süddeutsche Zeitung felt that while the game would attract fans of Jules Verne, they would become dismayed by the game's combination puzzles.[7] Reviewer Four Fat Chicks felt the small hotspots, and timed sections let the game down.[8]
