Some historic context: The game is inspired by the Minoan Culture, which was civilization in ancient greece living on several islands like Crete and Knossos. Many Myths and Sagas surrounding this island are known till today, like the tale of the Minotaur. The Minoans ultimately got wiped out by a tsunami that followed a vulcanic eruption on the island of Santorini.
