Once every few years there comes a game which manages to amaze everyone. In 2007, Bioshock did just that. Besides great game play and graphics, the true beauty of the game were it’s interesting story and atmosphere. So it’s not surprising that many of us are eagerly awaiting it’s sequel ‘Bioshock 2: Sea of Dreams’ which hopefully will be released this year.
Very little is known about the story of Bioshock 2. The short teasing trailer released in October 2008 revealed virtually nothing but successfully generated a lot of buzz, speculation and anticipation.
Recently, Take-Two launched a teaser site which like the October trailer doesn’t tell us much.
The site’s background shows a map of the world with a marking ‘2/20/67′ on the coast of Ireland. Besides this the site contains some newspaper clippings, notes and pictures. These seem to describe two main events which occurred at Lahinch Beach, Ireland :
- Mysterious footprints found on the beach on February 17, 1967
- The abduction of a 7 year old local girl
Apparently the girl was abducted “very quick”, “thin”, “above average height attacker” wearing some “red light”. Furthermore the newspaper clipping of February 17 describes “mysterious crimson (red) lights under the surface of Liscannor Bay”. Could these red lights share the same source?
Also, a picture of a Big Daddy doll which was found a week before the abduction on the same beach is shown on the site. One of the notes speculates that the attacker of the girl could be a Big Daddy though they aren’t very quick or thin. Perhaps in Bioshock 2 we can expect a new Big Daddy variant?
The pictures with the footprints show very strange footprints. It’s safe to say that these footprints are from (the same being as) the attacker of the little girl. Also note the strange object (a ribbon?) in the top left corner of the picture.
Furthermore the site mentions a certain Jeremiah Lynch (aged 71) who seems to be the person who discovered the footprints.
