Ahoy there, intrepid adventurer! Prepare to set sail on a wild and whimsical journey like no other in Pirates of Donkey Island—a delightfully quirky, insult-sword-fighting pirate adventure packed with mystery, humor, and unforgettable characters.
When a devastating curse crashes your royal wedding and traps your soul inside the body of your eccentric pirate grandfather, you’ll need every ounce of wit and courage to survive. To break free from this bizarre fate, embark on a rollicking voyage across the Cursed Caribbean, where your choices shape the story and your destiny.
Crafted by the brilliant Gilbert Gallo, Pirates of Donkey Island is a richly immersive, 79,000-word interactive novel inspired by classic adventures like Monkey Island and Pirates of the Caribbean. This entirely text-based experience thrives on imagination—no graphics or sound effects needed—just pure storytelling magic at its finest.
You won’t be sailing alone. Alongside you are four extraordinary companions, each more peculiar than the last: a distinguished gorilla gentleman, a headbanging undead rocker, a rapidly aging Voodoo crone, and an outrageously flamboyant spokesman. Each brings their own unique backstory and abilities to the table, offering insights that will help you uncover who you truly are beneath the curse.
From epic insult-sword duels to wild grog-drinking contests and suspiciously rigged wheels of fortune, your journey will challenge your mind, tickle your funny bone, and ultimately shift your perspective on life itself.
With your crew's aid, delve deep into the truth behind your despised pirate lineage. Will you seek redemption and lift the curse—or embrace your cursed fate and rule the afterlife?
Customize Your Journey with Meaningful Choices:
- Shape your identity: Decide your character’s gender and orientation. Will you live as male, female, or non-binary? Explore romance as gay, straight, or asexual—it's all up to you.
- Curse or freedom? Will you search for a cure, or learn to love your cursed pirate life?
- Find love in the most unexpected places: Fall for a hunky gorilla, a charming zombie, or even a sweet, wrinkled, toothless enchantress.
- Lead a crew of misfits: Command a band of uniquely cursed individuals and harness their powers to unlock the secrets of the Cursed Caribbean.
- Master the art of insult sword fighting: Outwit your foes with clever comebacks and duel like a true swashbuckler.
- Be a loyal captain or a ruthless traitor: Will you stand by your crew, or betray them for riches and Davy Jones’ favor?
So hoist the sails, sharpen your tongue, and dive headfirst into a world where every decision counts. In Pirates of Donkey Island, the greatest treasure you can find isn't gold—it's discovering your true self.
