Location
Cliff-Ringed Coastal Cove
Mouth of the Wide Cove
Sheer cliffs ring the mouth of this wide cove on a pristine island, forming a natural gateway under night skies. The submarine halts here before pressing into the narrowing center, where it dives sharply and turns the open waters into a tightening trap. Indiana Jones grips the periscope as rock faces rush close, churning waters surge upward, and the landscape shifts from serene horizon to lethal constriction, heightening isolation and imminent danger.
