Details are scarce, but here is what we know: a mysterious creature has crossed a fissure in time and entered the Atlantic Ocean. The creature, which has been described as a giant sea monster, appeared in 1915 and destroyed many German U-boats, including the one that would have sunk the Lusitania. As a
result, the U.S. never entered World War I, and Germany conquered Europe. World War II never happened,
and the United States never fully recovered from the Great Depression. Democracies were destroyed, and important advances in science, technology, and medicine never happened. You must travel back in time, find the mysterious creature, and stop it before it can destroy the German U-boat. It must sink the Lusitania in order for the timeline to be restored!
