Pirates of Donkey Island

Unravel the mysteries of your curse in this hilarious insult-sword-fighting pirate adventure!

Your royal wedding was ruined by a terrible curse, which trapped your soul in the body of your infamous pirate grandfather. To break free from this curse, you must lead a zany crew through a series of laugh-out-loud challenges in an adventure inspired by Monkey Island and Pirates of the Caribbean.

"Pirates of Donkey Island" is a humorous, 79,000-word interactive swashbuckling novel by Gilbert Gallo, where your choices shape the narrative. This text-based game relies solely on the boundless power of your imagination, featuring no graphics or sound effects.

Your companions on this extraordinary journey include a gentleman gorilla, an undead rocker, a rapidly aging Voodoo crone, and an absurd spokesperson. Each member brings their unique story to the table, and their interactions and experiences will guide you to discover your true self.

After engaging in numerous insult-sword fighting duels, participating in grog contests, and navigating rigged wheels of fortune, you'll gain a completely new perspective on life.

With the help of your crew, you'll uncover the truth about your despised pirate grandfather. Will you embrace your cursed fate or battle to break the curse?

• Choose your character's body and orientation throughout the game. Will you identify as male, female, or non-binary? Gay, straight, or asexual? The choice is yours.
• Experience life as a cursed swashbuckler! Will you seek to lift the curse, or revel in your damned existence until the afterlife?
• Find romance with a mighty, hairy gorilla, or share your life with a zombie. Or perhaps you'll choose a venerable, wrinkly, toothless lady?
• Lead a diverse crew of cursed individuals and harness their unique powers to unravel the mysteries of the Cursed Caribbean.
• Engage in comical insult-sword-fighting duels!
• Will you treat your crew with respect and leadership, or betray them for gold, selling their souls to Davy Jones?
