Pirates of Donkey Island

A dreadful curse destroyed your royal wedding, trapping your soul in the body of your pirate grandfather. To break the spell, you must captain a wild crew through endless uproarious challenges in this journey inspired by Monkey Island and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Pirates of Donkey Island is a humorous, 79,000-word interactive swashbuckling story by Gilbert Gallo, where your decisions shape the narrative. It is fully text-based—with no graphics or sound effects—powered solely by the limitless force of your imagination.

A gorilla gentleman, an undead rocker, a rapidly aging Voodoo priestess, and an absurd spokesman. These will be your sole companions on the most extraordinary adventure of your life. Each member comes with a unique history, and their stories and interactions will guide you in discovering your true, final identity.

After countless insult-sword fighting duels, grog-drinking contests, and rigged wheels of fortune, you'll come to see life from a completely new angle.

With the aid of your crew, you will uncover the truth about your despised pirate grandfather. Will you accept your cursed fate or battle against certain doom?

• Shape your protagonist’s body and orientation as you play. Will you end up male, female, or non-binary? Gay, straight, or asexual? The choice is yours.

• Experience the life of a cursed swashbuckler! Will you seek to break the curse or relish your damned existence until the afterlife?

• Find romance with a hairy, mighty gorilla or spend eternity with a zombie. Or would you rather date a respected, wrinkled, and toothless elder?

• Command a ragtag crew of cursed individuals and use their amazing abilities to reveal the secrets of the Cursed Caribbean.

• Challenge foes to uproarious insult-sword-fighting duels!

• Will you earn your crew’s loyalty as an honorable captain, or will you betray them for treasure, selling their souls to Davy Jones?

Stop swishing your sword like a feather duster and set sail across the Cursed Caribbean to uncover the greatest treasure of all: your true self!
