WHERE'S THE LOOT?! A Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Game

Summary:

You are Stede Bonnet, the Gentleman Pirate. Your goal? Loot a ship for gifts to win Ed's heart!

Notes:

I've always wanted to make a choose-your-own adventure game, and what better time than a gift exchange celebrating gay pirates? Gameplay is around 30 minutes and should be played fullscreen on mobile or deskop.

Veeagainst, I hope you enjoy this interactive fiction based on your prompt "gift giving."

Thank you to my buddies oddishly, howshouldipresume, and theoccasionalmishap for listening to me talk about this and beta playing it.

Work Text:

It is a pleasant morning aboard the Revenge. A few fluffy clouds are visible out your bedroom window, your hair feels clean and fresh thanks to your bi-weekly bathe, and you are currently enjoying a delicious spread of buns, berries, and assorted baked goods while Ed sips tea across the table from you. This is the life!

Just as you're relaying your thoughts on today's planned raid of a merchant vessel, your breakfast companion cuts you off mid-thought.

"It's nearly Valentine's Day," he says abruptly.

"Is it?" You frown, trying to recall what month it is. "Oh, you're right about that! How you keep track of the calendar date while at sea has always quite impressed me."

"It's just reading the clouds and the moon and tides." He shrugs, like anyone could do it. "So, er..." He glances away then back.

You take a sip of tea. "Something on your mind?"

He mutters, "I may have, ah, gotten you a gift."
