The Story:

"What is the most important part of a story?"

Cleo is a 14-year-old cynical girl living a repetitive life with her father in a bar. She knows everything about the epic adventures of pirate legend Captain Cabeca, but her everyday life is filled with boring fishermen and unsuccessful pirates lounging around the counter. However, Cleo's mundane existence is about to change when she discovers a strange pirate logbook and encounters a ghost who gives her a mysterious hint. Suddenly, she is thrust into a dangerous adventure, finding herself in a world of lies, deceit, greed, and bad breath—the world of pirates—all of whom are searching for the same thing: the Treasure of Eternal Memory.

Kraken Fodder:

"Kraken Fodder" is a mini-game within the main game. It is a card and dice game taken quite seriously among fishermen and pirates. Each round lasts about 5 minutes, and the objective is to destroy your opponent's card deck with cannonballs. HAHAHAR! Throughout the game, Cleo must play this card game against several NPCs.

The game was successfully funded on Kickstarter in 2020 and released in late 2021, featuring full voice acting in English and German. ARRRGH!
