Padge Plays! Indie Edition - A Pirate's End (2017 - Ed Kay) Lets Play Gameplay (Free Game)
2Welcome to Padge Plays! Indie Edition
In this series I will be playing some well known and less well known games all the way from yesteryear through to the present, sometimes from consoles and sometimes from the thousands of PC games available either through websites such as Steam, Good Old Games (GOG), as abandonware, (Home of the Underdogs) or through emulation software. (Such as WinVice C64)
In this episode we're checking out a game by the name of A Pirate's End by Ed Kay! This was created for the Pirate Jam 2017 game jam in Thailand which had the theme of impermanence, (I had to look this word up... it means to never stay the same/in a constant state of change) and this is showcased through you being an old retired pirate who is out to try and find the hidden treasure he buried years ago for if/when he decided to step down from the swashbuckling lifestyle. It's a very whimsical point and click adventure with some lovely graphics, laid back game play and some awesome poetic writing... and, (in my play through at the very least) it had a very bittersweet ending. I personally enjoyed my 20 minutes with the game and seeing as it's a free download, (link below) you should check it out for yourself!
-- ABOUT THE GAME --
A Pirate’s End is a wonderfully whimsical adventure game in which you explore mysterious islands, trade supplies and avoid hazards as you attempt to stay alive long enough to find a secret treasure stash you hid many years ago.
In A Pirate’s End you take on the role of an elderly pirate who is searching for some treasure he hid a long time ago. You only have a set amount of days to find the treasure and you’ll need some key items to be able to retrieve it. You can visit islands in any order you like and discover their secrets and find the items you need, with the narrative relayed via some funny little rhymes.
Each time you travel to a new island with the boat you use up some days, and there are hazards such as other ships, bad weather and jagged rocks that can cost you money, delay you or even cause a shipwreck. You only have a set amount of days each time you embark on your treasure finding adventure and if you run out of them it’ll be game over. If you fail you’ll still retain all the information you gathered about item locations on your next attempt, but your pirate will be older, weaker and less able to navigate the treacherous seas.
It’s a fun little seafaring treasure hunt with stylish visuals, great writing, lots of cool things to discover and a great sense of adventure. A nautical adventure well worth setting sail on.
