A website has launched for BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams. It should be no surprise that the site raises plenty of questions about the game.

What's this 2/20/67 marking with an 'X' sitting over Ireland? What are these three clickable items in the upper-right, one of which appears to speak to the origins of the Little Sister. What is this letter written by J. Lynch and who is it written to?

Delving a bit further we learn that 2/20/67 was actually the date when Maura Lune was kidnapped from her home at age 7. The kidnapper's description bears a striking resemblance to a Big Daddy, except that he was able to outrun the girl's 42 year old father without much of a worry.

The letter from J. Lynch, written on March 18, 1967, is a bit more puzzling. He or she talks about searching the beaches every morning and the letter seems to be in response to something that talks about a possible connection between footprints and the kidnapping. "E.g. the head resembles a helmet" and "the feet could be heavy boots" are underlined in red with a picture of a Big Daddy doll enclosed. It would appear that J. Lynch agrees with the theory that the Big Daddy was indeed the kidnapper.

All of this points to the possibility that BioShock 2 is, in fact, not a prequel to BioShock 1 which took place in 1960. It seems as though it's going to at least address the origins of the Little Sister and perhaps Rapture itself. Of course, this is all just guessing at this point. We'll have to wait a bit longer for 2K Games to remove the veil a bit further.
