In a scene eerily similar to that of the ill-fated Titanic, the SS Lucifer is quickly sinking after colliding with an enormous iceberg. Unlike the unfortunate passengers on the Titanic, those on the Lucifer have a savior that will-hopefully-lead them to safety and dry land. In S.O.S.: Sink or Swim you play the role of Kevin, the game's hero, who must rescue the frightened passengers and crew before it's too late. Through 100 levels of frantic gameplay, you'll have to round up hundreds of passengers and get them through all kinds of hazards before time runs out and all the compartments of the ship are flooded. Along the way, you'll face all kinds of dangerous traps and strange puzzles that could mean the difference between success and failure.
