What it is about

For more than two centuries treasure hunters, researchers and adventurers have tried to solve the mystery of Oak Island. Fortunes have been spent, countless tunnels dug, and lives lost. Yet the greatest question remains: who left all this behind, and what lies buried beneath the island?

The Mystery of Oak Island is a classic point and click adventure inspired by the real treasure hunt around the Money Pit. Explore mysterious locations, combine objects, solve puzzles and meet characters who know far more than they reveal. Some secrets were buried for a reason.

Three fates, one mystery

Jamie Watson

A cynical journalist searching for the truth. His sharp remarks made him unwelcome in the newsroom. What starts as a harmless story leads him straight into a centuries old legend. A reporter who asks uncomfortable questions: Zak McKracken fans will feel right at home.

Annie Pilgrim

A brilliant, determined student with an eye for inconsistencies. An ancient document leads her to forgotten manuscripts and historical clues, far beyond her internship.

Ryan Porter

He has seen more than he admits and lost more than he shows. Leaving his past behind, he boards a ship and uncovers secrets that could change his view of the world.

From Zak2 to Oak Island

The Mystery of Oak Island is made by Thomas “Marvel” Dibke, who led Zak McKracken: Between Time and Space. Back then a team of volunteers, now a game coming to Steam, built with the same engine: Visionaire Studio. The passion is the same: hand drawn locations, puzzles with logic and humor, characters with a voice.

If you enjoyed Between Time and Space, a wishlist on Steam helps a lot. Steam shows games with many wishlists to more players.
