    Professor Aronnax has been held prisoner on Captain Nemo's submarine the Nautilus for over three months. In his log entries, he describes the wonders he has witnessed underwater but also his concerns about Nemo's unpredictable nature and intentions for keeping them captive. Aronnax spends much of his time exploring the extensive library aboard the Nautilus and observing the many marine species visible from the portholes, but remains unsure of how to eventually escape this mysterious vessel and return home to share his story.

    20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA


    Extracts From Professor Aronnax's Log-book

    November 15th :
    We've been captain Nemo's prisoners for three days in this strange aquatic machine known as the
    Nautilus.
    After a long sleepless night, I decided to keep a log book, for I have no alternative but to live this
    fabulous adventure to the full so that I may share it with the whole world.
    November 17th :
    Councel, my devoted servant, is adjusting admirably to our new lifestyle. But I fear the worst for Ned
    Land; this harpooner is a violent and impulsive man. He will find it hard not to come to blows
    with Nemo.
    November 21st :
    My host's nature never fails to intrigue me; what does his face hide ? One thing's for sure; this brain has
    seen and perceived things that the world doesn't know exist. I sometimes feel as if he can see into the
    future...
    December 30th :
    This submarine is a real miracle. Everything is so well organised. The lounge alone rivals the luxury of
    a baroque palace and its porthole gives the most beautiful view of the underwater world that I've ever
    been able to admire. What wonders, or perhaps monstrosities, will I find there?
    January 12th :
    One month has passed already. My dealings with Nero are very regular. He keeps me in the dark about
    our situation and I need to pay a lot of attention and think hard to deduce any more about it. I'm trying
    to work out our route but there aren't many clues.
    January 14th :
    The library is incredibly well stocked. I spend hours there, learning about a world I thought I knew
    better; perhaps it holds secrets about the Nautilus too. Alas, the Captain has ruled it out of bounds to
    me for some time; his nerves are on edge, so I'll have to keep a low profile until things calm down.
    Febuary 2nd :
    Do you Know what real fear is? I discovered it yesterday for the first time in my life, when a shoal of
    sharks came out of the shadows. Fortunately, I was armed! Now that's all over. I wonder whether
    Nemo would have saved me?
    Febuary 25th :
    What joy, what a sense of power I felt this morning at the helm of the Nautilus. Of course, the Captain
    was there, but it was I, and I alone, who steered the submarine. It wasn't easy, and Nemo's presence,
    tense and overbearing, ready to snatch the controls at the slightest mistake, didn't help much.
    Febuary 28th :
    Does music really have a soothing effect? I think so, and the Captain's enthusiastic reaction when I
    played his favourite tune convinced me. Apparently, he is putting the organ at my disposal.

    March 10th :
    After so many days without setting foot on land, I was able to go for an hour's walk on a small Pacific
    island this morning. Contrary to first sight, this land was not deserted; traps, bridges, dug-outs and the
    presence of hostile natives lying in wait behind the dense vegetation were all in evidence. I certainly
    discovered some strange things...
    March 21st :
    My travelling companions can take no more. As for me, I know I still have a lot to learn and I cannot
    envisage running away. But will I find another chance to escape?
    March 26th :
    I have been confined to my cabin for three days for having 'threatened' the security of the Nautilus.
    Captain Nemo worries me; I wonder if he's not slowly sinking into madness. Maybe I should have
    listened to Ned Land when he urged us to escape. I'm frightened...
    April 12th :
    A nightmare vision. I could never imagined that such a monster could exist; an enormous squid
    attacked the Nautilus, threatening all our lives with its powerful tentacles. It's the beginning of a
    merciless struggle whose violence I just daren't imagine.

    1) AN OPEN LETTER FROM THE AUTHOR TO THE PLAYER


    You are Professor Aronnax; you have been plunged into a mysterious and unknown world which you
    will gradually discover, burning you with its reality.
    But know this:
    -Captain Nemo is a strange and dubious character. Keep on the right side of him, don't try his patience
    and, above all, don't annoy him ; he'll isolate you with no regrets.
    Learn to know him.
    -The Nautilus is a brilliantly run microcosm. You will have to familiarise yourself with things you
    know very little about. But be careful; the things you do may help or harm you now or later.
    -The deep sea world is a marvellous world, but don't let yourself be carried away by your dreams; it is a
    cruel world without pity.

    -Most important of all, don't forget that your aim is to tell people about this
    fantastic adventure ; find your route and plot it on the map; keep a note of all the
    essential information which you will be given throughout your voyage, but don't
    forget to escape; choose the right moment.

    2) HOW TO USE THE NAUTILUS


    This is... the living room ; all the sumptuous luxury of a Baroque palace.
    The manometer and the speedometer keep you informed of the progress of the Nautilus
    Open the port-hole:
    it holds amazing discoveries for you

    Entrance to the library


    Entrance to the control room

    Aqualung

    The map will enable you to follow your route.


    You can use the compass, for example, to find
    where you are.

    Compass
    Always carry your notebook
    with you everywhere you go.

    The aqualung is indispensible for leaving


    the submarine. It is also wise to take a
    gun with you ; anything can happen!

    The control room; heart of the Nautilus


    You can light up the depths of the
    ocean with the beacon.

    The periscope is at your disposal but


    you cannot use it when the Nautilus
    is more than 10 metres down.

    Speedometer

    Entrance to the living room

    Compass

    Thanks to the calendar,


    you can keep track of
    the passing of time.

    Helm

    The manometer indicates the


    progression of the Nautilus

    Manometer lever

    Notebook ; essential. Write in all the relevant


    information by pressing the mouse at the right
    times. But be careful ; you have very little room left
    in your notebook, so don't write just anything!

    The heart of the library contains magnificently


    bound works. Discover them by choosing the
    shelf you want. Use the arrows to move along
    each section.

    THE MAP:
    This map, which is always at your disposal in the living room, will enable you to make a written note of
    your route on it. But you will have to work it out from Nemo's remarks and from the information you
    will gain from the navigational instruments. Place the numbered tokens on the map in the correct order
    and don't hesitate to correct them. To do this, press the mouse over one of the numbered tokens. You
    can take back a token and move it at any time. It's up to you to find on the map the route Captain Nemo
    has chosen and to place the tokens in the right order.
    ...It's up to you to discover the treasures of the library, the submarine's deck and the dangers of the
    outside world.
