Review
This is an adventuron game with a two-word parser and tutorial designed for beginners.
While many games in this comp seem to lean towards younger children's interests, I feel like the pirate story is not really childish. Instead, the author provides an interesting backstory for an island with magical creatures and enemies.
Most of the gameplay, though, is centered around solo exploration. Some puzzles have multiple solutions, which is neat.
A lot of work went into worldbuilding and into a tutorial that is helpful at suggesting verbs and giving expectations for the parser.
Overall, I wonder if it could have been a bit more fleshed out. It's actually more substantial than many games in the comp, and being shorter is better for beginners, but it felt pulled in multiple directions by seeking to be simple and short but also to do epic storytelling, which would have benefited from a bigger buildup. I had fun, though!
