A ship cursed by an ancient curse!
Captain Bracco
It all began in the summer of 1712, when Captain Bracco and his crew seized the prestigious treasure of the St. Lawrence River, hidden deep within Fort Ville-Marie, the first stronghold of the Montreal colony.
As soon as the treasure was aboard the ship, voices began to trouble the captain’s mind. He became convinced that someone would try to steal his treasure. In a fit of madness, he hid the loot, tore up and scattered the map that led to it, and then barricaded himself forever in his cabin, taking with him the only key capable of unlocking the treasure.
Will you dare to board the Ghost Ship and face Captain Bracco’s challenges and riddles in order to recover the prestigious treasure?
