Description
Return to Mysterious Island follows Mina, a young woman trying to win the “Jules Verne Trophy”, which is awarded to those who sail around the world solo. Caught in a tremendous storm, she becomes stranded on the shores of a wild and apparently uninhabited island. As she explores her new surroundings, she uncovers artifacts, living spaces, and technologies left behind by the people who came before her to this uncharted island.

Solve a variety of intuitive puzzle challenges and use the various technologies found on the Nautilus to return to civilization. There is no imposed linear order to solve the puzzles and advance in the game. You’ll have multiple choices, depending on the resources you acquire throughout the adventure and the way you want to play. The game also offers photo-realistic pre-rendered graphics, an easy to use point-and-click interface, and a unique inventory system where items can be combined and dismantled for use throughout the game.
  • Interactive inventory system allows you to combine items and create new tools.
  • Survival, exploration, discovery, and puzzles, all in a tropical setting.
  • Inspired by the Jules Verne novel “The Mysterious Island”.

A loveletter to the original novel

The Mysterious Island has always been my favourite Jules Verne novel. And if you like it as well as old school point and click games you´ll like this.

Return to Mysterious Island

Our protagonist Mina isn't particulary interesting: stranded on an unhabited island and her only company is a monkey. Also if you aware the adventures Kheops makes you'd know this is an intellectual game based on historical facts as far as I know. So your parents should happy if you're a teenager or younger! About gameplay there are more than one solution to make progress, also there are many object you can combine. Setting is not a big deal in my opinion, animations comic book stylish! This solitary adventure offers a few hours exploring this island. To me wasN't an unforgettable experience but you should take a chance !
