Their mission takes them straight into the heart of the Rhombus of Ruin, a mysterious part of the ocean as deadly as two Bermuda Triangles back to back!
When the rescue party itself is kidnapped and held prisoner in the Rhombus, Raz is immobilized and must use only his psychic powers to reunite his friends, reveal the identity of the kidnapper, and free Truman before the madness of the Rhombus consumes all their minds.

Some of the violence occurs from a first-person perspective, and players have the ability to attack non-adversary figures (e.g., creatures, animals, Lego people), though this behavior is not encouraged/rewarded.
