In 1975, the Amity Island horrors sent fear torrenting through the East Coast of The

United States, as the oversized great white shark “Bruce” hunted & killed several of

the island’s inhabitants. With the threat of further deaths & the shark still at large, a

police chief, a marine biologist & a pro shark hunter set out into the waters to sink

this monster for good. The shark may have been killed, but those on the island never

laid eyes on the water the same way again...

50 years later, & that fear still ripples within the memories of all who live near &

stare out into the Atlantic Ocean. A fear that looks like it could rise again.

A few weeks ago, several commercial fishing boats began vanishing off the coast of

Maine. The pattern seemed strange, until a life boat belonging to a major cargo tanker

beached along North Carolina. State news reported the crew had abandoned ship,

with only a handful making it to shore, babbling about some strange creature that had

“picked off the rest after dealing excessive damage to the hull.”

Some of them claimed they were attacked by an octopus, others swearing it was a

shiver of sharks preying off those who’d fallen into the water. Either way, their details

aligned every time they mentioned “skin & flesh as deep red as our own blood...”

Experts from all over began theorising the cause of these happenings, with some

being called “as mad as the sailors themselves” when suggesting whatever did this

could be a combination of both these features.

Fears & tensions are beginning to rise once again, with many locals & media outlets

drawing comparisons to the 1975 case of Amity Island “only with a much deadlier

appetite!”

If these fears are not put to bed, the panic of the people will rip through the East

Coast again, this time rivalling that of a tsunami, pulsing through to the mainland.

A quick-fire team has been put together, assembled with enough gear to survey the

areas this “creature” has been sighted in, capture footage & potentially put this

rumour down for good!

Your reasons for joining this expedition could be personal or professional. You could

be a collector eager to add to your already impressive museum display, an intellectual

intrigued by the unknown science of the sea, a rogue contractor who seeks to claim

fame or perhaps a secret bounty, or perchance you’re seizing the opportunity for

some personal vengeance?

You begin to board at New York Harbour, meeting & greeting quickly so that you can

set off before dawn breaks. Wary that whatever happened to those ships & their

sailors before, could well happen to yours & you...
