Walkthrough by
MaGtRo      September, 2002

Game play: The game is
point and click interface. Read the manual that can be found on the CD.
The top right star on the game frame is the quit button. The top left star
is the Options menu. The Options has the new, save, load game, deactivate
music and sound. The inventory bar is at the bottom of the screen.
Consult Abdullah’s notebook for clues and recap of what has happened. Talk
to each character repeatedly using all dialogues especially the blabla
dialogue until they repeat themselves. The cursor changes to red on a
hotspot and a framed arrow for exits. Right click to return taken
inventory back in the bar. By checking or looking at each objects or
character will add them in the dialogue list. I found several glitches. If
I go back to a saved game, some of the inventories taken in events after
the saved game opened are gone. And if I’m in a different timeslot and try
to go to a saved game of an earlier timeslot, no matter what is done no
progress to the next timeslot happens. These problems are solved by
quitting and restarting the game.

The introduction shows a caped man
wearing a hat being chased by another man on the street and at dockside.
The caped man climbs aboard a ship and escapes. The next day, Abdullah
reads a letter aboard the ship, Glutomax.

Dear Abdullah,

The Eye of Kraken has been stolen from me. It
is an object related to a cult of worshippers of the Great Kraken. If it
were to end up between the wrong hands, it could prove very dangerous
for the human kind. I don’t know the identity of the thief but I know
for sure that he is presently aboard the Glutomax. I want you to
identify him and get the Eye of the Kraken back.

Good luck and have a good trip.

Yours truly,

Titien Granzoub

Monday
Morning

Abdullah’s Cabin
#1:           
There’s a knock on the door. Aboubakar enters the cabin. Abdullah is
on a diplomatic mission to deliver a secret document to our correspondent
on Hyade Island. Kraken is a giant mythical squid.  Aboubakar found a
small wooden squid.  They discuss a plan that Abdullah be the
one who found the squid. This will facilitate the search for the owner and
can ask questions. Aboubakar advises to ask the captain for the list of
the passengers. Aboubakar is in cabin #6 and he wants to be informed of
the progress of the investigation. In inventory is the notebook,
money, top secret letter and the message from Titien.

Check the porthole, parrot that
talks and hookah that needs grass to use. Examine the chest and find grain
bags instead of your things. Take the teapot and saber. Exit
at lower right.

Corridor:       Check
all the cabin doors on both side of the corridor. Except for Abdullah’s,
Fitzcarraldo and Aboubakar’s, all the other passenger cabins and the Zog
sailor’s cabin are inaccessible at the moment. Check at least one of the
paintings on the wall.

Fitzcarraldo’s Cabin

the gramophone, bed and plans on the wall. Take the bananas on top

of the ice machine. Talk to Fitzcarraldo, an Irish contractor specialized
in disproportionate projects. Learn that passengers teleports around the
ship, they repeat word for word when they are asked the same questions and
night falls quickly aboard the ship. He is making plans for the ski resort
he will build on Hyade Island. Ask about the binoculars and he will let
you borrow it if you can get a recital from the opera singer at the next
cabin. The ice machine will make snow-ice. To use it: feed it water,
salt, sausage and then pull the lever. Sausage is the fuel. Get
permission to use the ice machine. Take the wooden squid from inventory
and show it to Fitzcarraldo. Find out that there’s once been a cult that
wants to summon the giant squid to rule the ocean and a Giant Kraken
monument in Hyade Island He gives you his squid statuette. Exit and
see that you are not where you’re suppose to be.

cabin. Check the porthole, cage, map, poster, astrolabe, periscope, wheel
and bathtub. Checking on things will add them to the dialogue list. Talk
to the Captain especially about the passenger list. Hyade Island is a
Gluttenburger protectorate. The bell outside is a submarine and has air
for 10 minutes. There are 4 twin Zog brothers. Glutomax is a creature from
Gluttenburger mythology and is the figurehead of the ship. They will reach

the translation of the runes – Here lies Olibrius the

of vamparisation on Odysseus gets him thrown overboard. Villon gets
released from the bell. Get a rune translation in inventory – in

mouth. They are the Singing Morays. Try to talk and then flatter
Proustette. All you need is love! She drops the
anemone. Automatically pick it
up.        Front

Aboubakar the anemone, he says he needs time to prepare the ceremony.
Abdullah leaves to sleep.

Friday
Morning

Wake up in your cabin. Save game
here!      A major glitch occurs
at the end of this time slot if you do not go to the Neo-Botchist
lair before or right after the scene with
Aboubakar.        
Corridor:        Open the trap
door at the end of the hallway by Vlad’s

about everything.      

You can go around and talk to everybody you
want before going to Aboubakar’s cabin.

Aboubakar’s Cabin
#6:     Aboubakar wearing a mask has everything
ready. He chants insults to waken the howling poultry. The Chicken
answers. The question given by Aboubakar is who has the Eye of Kraken in
his possession and where is it hidden? A Hungarian scientist named Merouh
Barok, fake Viking and pseudo Marxist. Barok wants to rule the world with
occult power and have no intention of sharing it with the proletariat. He
was helped by an alcoholic monk. The Eye of the Kraken is in the middle of
the earth. Have to interpret, obtuse individual.

Rasputin’s
cabin#8:        Listen at the cabin
door. Rasputin and Olaf are talking inside. Olaf says he moved it. Who
could have found it there?

Olaf’s Cabin
#4:         Use the passkey
and enter. Take a squid statuette on the floor. Look at the globe.
There are holes in locations of some cities. Use the statuette on the
globe and the tentacles fit perfectly on holes. It’s empty. Where is the
Eye of the Kraken?  Barok enters and derides Abdullah. He hid the Eye
of the Kraken in a place where it will not be found. Have you really
failed?

Front
Bridge:        See the captain with
a torch by the cannon. If you do not find the Captain, quit
the game, restart the game, load at start of Friday morning again or right
after visiting Aboubakar, visit the Neo-Botchist’s lair and proceed from
there. Talk to the Captain. He lights the cannon to announce
arrival to Hyade Island. The cannon ball shoots out. Olaf-Barok runs in
and cries ‘My Treasure’. Olaf dives into the water following the
‘cannonball’. Here comes Rasputin and follows Olaf – ‘My Master’. Here
comes the next one – Fitzcarraldo-Fitzgerald is Hot and dives into the
water also.

I did not find any use for the
bananas, shrimp and book from shrimp bucket

It seems the hunt for the Eye of
the Kraken just begun!
