In "Eye of the Kraken", the player will play Abdullah by the means of a classic "point and click" 2d adventure interface.
The Glutomax will take a week before arriving at Hyade Island. Until then, Abdullah will have to discover which of the suspicious and anachronical passengers has stolen the Eye of the Kraken. This is a very important task for if the thief makes it to the Island, it will be possible for him to awake the Great Kraken and then rule the world. And that would be bad.
Abdullah is an Ottoman envoy, who must deliver an important letter to the Hyade Islands. So he booked a passage on the sailing ship Glutamax, which is to land him and the other passengers there in 5 days. But before Abdullah can settle in his cabine, he receives a letter from Titien Granzoub, who communicates that the "Eye of the Kraken" was stolen from him and the thief must be on the Glutamax. The "Eye of the Kraken" is a cult object of the worshippers of the Great Kraken and in the wrong hands represents a threat to whole mankind. Abdoullah must now seek the Eye and the thief during the sea voyage.
He meets scurrile copassengers, e.g. Fitzcarraldo a rather crazy inventor or baron Vlad, who sleeps in a coffin, but very much disclaims to be a vampire. He meets revived Rasputin and the French poet Francois Villon, a real friend of women. Also the opera singer Ingrid, who lives her role as Valkyrie, the beautiful Ophelia and the Viking Olaf are also on board. All could be the thief or at least his accomplices. During the days and nights at sea, Abdullah tries to clear the crime up but ever more strange things happened, which do not facilitate the investigation for him.
The speedy story is full of funny dialogues and the partial bizarre plot, the off-key characters, the innumerable allusions on people and events of literature, mythology and contemporary history lets an impudent crime comedy develop.
