Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea as an inhabitant of British Colonial India, "is an inhabitant of an oppressed country". Verne took the name "Nautilus" from one of the earliest successful submarines, built in 1800 by Robert Fulton, who later invented the first commercially successful steamboat. Fulton's submarine was named after the paper nautilus because it had a sail. Three years before writing his novel, Jules Verne also studied a model of the newly developed French Navy submarine "Plongeur" at the 1867 Exposition Universelle, which inspired him for his definition of the "Nautilus". The breathing apparatus used by "Nautilus" divers is depicted as an untethered version
Voyage: Inspired by Jules Verne with "Jolt" describing the music as having a nice retro-futuristic feel which sets the mood perfectly. "G4" commented on the game's voice acting as overly dramatic but appropriate, but criticized many of the sound effects as being cheesy. "GameSpot" described Ardan's dialogue as somewhat lame, and also criticized the game's sound effects. "Metacritic" averaged out the scores of several internet reviews of "Voyage" to reach a rating of 71%, the closest to an 'overall' rating of the game.
