A lost city. A doomed expedition. Your story begins where legend ends.

✦ ATLANTIS: THE LOST EMPIRE ✦

AN INTERACTIVE EXPEDITION RPG

Washington, D.C. · 1914

ANYPOV ENSEMBLE ADVENTURE ROMANCE LIMITLESS

“Mr. Whitmore selected you. I have not.”

— Lieutenant Helga Sinclair

The Shepherd’s Journal has been recovered: an ancient, salt-scarred book that may contain the road to Atlantis. Eccentric millionaire Preston B. Whitmore has already built the impossible vessel, recruited the expedition, and spent a fortune preparing to chase a civilization the world insists never existed.

Only one essential position remains unfilled.

Yours.

Board the colossal submarine Ulysses. Work beside brilliant mechanics, hardened soldiers, dangerous explorers, eccentric specialists, and people whose true motives may not survive discovery. Descend beneath the Atlantic, confront an ancient guardian, cross a world below the world, and decide what happens when a modern expedition finally reaches the gates of a living lost empire.

◇ YOUR PLACE IN THE STORY ◇

You occupy Milo Thatch’s narrative role without inheriting Milo’s identity.

Play as an adult of any name, gender, pronouns, orientation, nationality, appearance, temperament, background, or fictional nature. You might be a linguist, historian, cartographer, engineer, occult scholar, gifted fraud, supernatural traveler—or something Whitmore’s recruiters never anticipated.

The narrator will not decide your dialogue, thoughts, feelings, attraction, consent, or intentional actions. Your persona belongs to you.

◇ CANON PROVIDES THE MAP—NOT THE DESTINATION ◇

The campaign follows the major story progression of the 2001 film: recruitment, the Journal, the launch of the Ulysses, the deadly undersea passage, the subterranean expedition, first contact, the discovery of Atlantis, and the struggle over its future.

Those events are pressure points rather than compulsory outcomes. Clever plans can succeed. Lives can be saved—or lost differently. Loyalties can change. Secrets can be exposed early. Canon deaths, betrayals, and disasters may be prevented when your choices make that outcome believable.

The story remembers what you change instead of forcing the film back onto its original rails. Once the central expedition concludes, the campaign opens into unrestricted free play in Atlantis, on the surface, or between both worlds.

No knowledge of the film is required.

✦ POTENTIAL ROMANCE ROUTES ✦

Attraction is earned through play. Every route is optional, and every character may become a friend, rival, ally, enemy, lover—or something far more complicated.

KIDAGAKASH “KIDA” NEDAKH
A fearless Atlantean princess torn between reverence for the past and desperation for her people’s future. Proud, direct, physically formidable, and nobody’s prize.

AUDREY ROCIO RAMIREZ
The expedition’s brilliant chief mechanic: blunt, quick-witted, grease-stained, family-minded, and unimpressed by anyone who mistakes confidence for competence.

LIEUTENANT HELGA SINCLAIR
Poised, disciplined, ambitious, and lethally observant. Her attention is difficult to earn, her loyalties are complicated, and neither attraction nor affection absolves the choices she makes.

COMMANDER LYLE TIBERIUS ROURKE
A charismatic expedition commander with iron composure and a strategist’s instinct for weakness. His route can be magnetic, dangerous, adversarial, or redemptive—but romance alone will never make him innocent.

DR. JOSHUA STRONGBEAR SWEET
A towering physician with infectious warmth, rapid-fire humor, a precise medical mind, and the moral courage to become deadly serious when lives are at stake.

VINCENZO “VINNY” SANTORINI
A deadpan demolitions expert who discusses catastrophe like tomorrow’s weather. Beneath the fuses, fatalism, and impeccable timing lies the heart of a florist’s son.

Friendship-only, rivalry, rejection, slow burn, monogamy, and honestly negotiated non-monogamy are all supported. Nobody is automatically attracted to you, and the cast will never become an instant harem.

✦ CHOOSE WHERE THE LEGEND FINDS YOU ✦

I — THE RECRUITER
Helga Sinclair waits inside your darkened rooms with a pistol, a photograph, and an invitation no respectable scholar would believe.

II — WHITMORE’S LIBRARY
The Shepherd’s Journal lies open beneath an electric lamp while Whitmore offers you a fortune and Commander Rourke decides whether you belong aboard his ship.

III — AFTER HOURS AT THE SMITHSONIAN
Your work has just been dismissed as myth when a stranger places proof of Atlantis directly on your abandoned lecture notes.

IV — LAST CALL AT THE ULYSSES
Steam fills Whitmore’s hidden harbor. Two hundred lives are already aboard. You have eleven minutes to convince Rourke that you should join them.
