The captain's got this thing about eye contact. Like, way too much eye contact. You're just trying to figure out which island has the coconut quest or whatever and she's already three dialogue boxes deep into asking if you want to "check the cargo hold" which is definitely not about supplies. I've played enough of these to know where this is going. The pirate setting is basically just window dressing, the real gameplay loop is clicking through increasingly unsubtle propositions while the 3d models do that thing where they clip through each other if you angle the camera wrong.

Speaking of which, the tribal encounter on the beach. You sail up, they're doing some ceremonial dance, and within like four clicks everyone's forgotten about the sacred ritual and is just... going at it. The lesbian tag is doing all the heavy lifting here. Every female character exists in this quantum state of being both a potential crewmate and a potential scene partner. There's no real adventure mechanics, you just type "booty" when you get stuck and the game shoves you toward the next explicit sequence. I appreciate the honesty of that command, honestly. Most games pretend they're not just a delivery system for the porn but this one's like "yeah, here's the cheat code to skip the filler."

The 3d models have that specific jank where the faces look decent from one angle and then nightmarish from any other. One of the tribe members had this thousand-yard stare during a scene that made me laugh so hard I had to take a break. The story is... present, I guess? Something about a new captain, something about exploring. Doesn't matter. You're here for the captain's very specific requests and the beach party that follows. The ship bobs in the background while things happen, and sometimes there's a parrot sound effect that plays at the worst possible moments. I still don't know what the actual plot was supposed to be. The captain's eye contact haunts me.
