The game recounts the events aboard The Flying Pussyfoot in 1931, with the player controlling the choices various characters make throughout the game. The wrong/non-canon choices inevitably lead to a premature ending. Overall, there are fifty-nine possible endings the player can encounter over the course of the game, all of which were conceived by Ryohgo Narita.
