What players say
I have never played a game like this. I don't think there's any game that you can really compare it to. The Pirates Fate gets weird as you play it and weirder if you decide to replay it a few more times. The story has a very interesting concept to it and I would be interested in seeing other games similar to this one in the future. A lot of love was put into this and I'm impressed with the quality of the product...

What this game does well is it's gimmick. When transformations happen, you really do think to yourself, "oh sick". However, I do have to admit that the writing isn't that great. There are moments that have me like "ok. cool i guess." BUT I will recommend this game because it does have this moment where they talk about how fat people are attractive and I was like, "so true, so true. preach it." It's kinda sad that...
If you are here and know what this is, just buy it you cheap bastard. For everyone else, the game is a visual novel style adventure with a cast of anthropomorphic animals sailing the seas, or at least set piece scenes, to collect world changing magical MacGuffins that, of course, can cause physical changes in the characters in response to decision made by the player. This description does absolutely sell the game...
