- ***STORY***
- Jack Carver has left his mysterious and bitter past behind and dropped out of society to run a boat
- charter business in the South Pacific. He is hired by Valerie Cortez to take her secretly to an
- uncharted island in Micronesia. After Val is safely delivered to the island, Jack's boat is suddenly
- attacked and Jack escapes. Thousands of miles from nowhere, with his only friend lost somewhere in
- the depths of an uncharted jungle, he must find his way back to civilization.
-
- - Main characters (not all seen in the demo)
- Jack Carver: A charter boat captain in the South Pacific, Jack has been hired to take Val to an
- uncharted island in Micronesia, ostensibly to take pictures of the little known Japanese WWII ruins
- there.
-
- Valerie Cortez: An American photo-journalist working for Exotic Travel magazine, Val seems a bit too
- professional for your run-of-the-mill freelance photographer.
-
- Harlan Doyle: Jack's main contact on the island once the mystery begins. He seems to know a lot
- about what is going on, but is none too eager to reveal his own identity.
-
- George Wilhelm Krieger: Ex World Health Organization scientist, who disappeared some 5 years ago
- under mysterious circumstances surrounding his controversial genetics research.
-
- Col. Richard Crow: Soldier of Fortune of unknown origin. Head of a mercenary force which protects
-
- Dr. Krieger's island installation
-
- Mercenaries: Hired goons and killers. Scum of the earth. Trained killers, they aren't paid to ask
- questions.
