Greatmaw Island. A mysterious place miles off the shore of an old city, where new minds gather to aid Doctor Morose in his experiments for the good of mankind. Aspiring young scientists Howard and Philip were as close as friends could be...until the Doctor rejected Howard's application, and accepted Philip's. As the days without Philip go by, rumors circulate that something really bad is happening on Greatmaw Island, and that Doctor Morose is behind it. Desperate for answers and looking to reconcile with his former friend, Howard must go alone to the island of Doctor Morose in search of Philip, but is he ready for what he'll find there?
More importantly, will Howard be able to rescue his friend from the mad doctor's clutches before it's too late?
