You could argue that it's because the [=ClueFinders=] were the first castaways to have modern diving equipment, giving them access to both, but that still doesn't explain why no one on the surface cracked the Faces within the Face or none of the intelligent worms cracked the Fish within the Fish.

The game begins with you being able to explore two areas, the surface of the island and underwater. The island is inhabited by centuries of trapped castaways while the underwater area is inhabited by talking tubeworms. Both claim that the island itself is somehow alive and has been continuously thwarting all attempts at escape. Your only hope is to collect [=CrypTiles=], which are metal plates carved with odd symbols. You'll need them to gain access to the game's third area, the inside of the island, where you'll rescue the others and discover the truth about this strange place.
