About Cleo - a pirate's tale
„Cleo - a pirate’s tale“ is a Solo Developed Retro Pixel Art Pirate Adventure with a lot of nostalgic flair, humor and a linear story, inspired by the old Zelda games and the classic LucasArts adventure games.
„What is the most important part of a story?“
Cleo is a 14 year old cynical girl, living a repetitive life with her father in a bar. She knows everything about the epic adventures of pirate legend Captain Cabeca, but in her everyday life, she is just surrounded by boring fishermen and unsuccessful pirates, hanging around at the counter.
But when Cleo finds a strange pirate-logbook and sees a ghost, who gives her a mysterious hint, her boring life is about to get turned upside down. She is thrown into a dangerous adventure and finds herself in a world of lies, deceit, greed and bad breath - the world of pirates - and most of them are looking for the same thing:
THE TREASURE OF ETERNAL MEMORY.
"Kraken Fodder" is a mini game inside the game.
It is a card and dice game, which is taken pretty seriously among fishermen and pirates. One round takes about 5 minutes and the game is about destroying your opponents card deck with canon balls. HAHAHAR!
Throughout the game, Cleo has to play this card game against a few NPCs.
The game was successfully funded on Kickstarter in 2020 and was released late 2021 with full voice acting in English and German.
ARRRGH!

One of the most soulful, comforting indies I've played in a while. Granted, I am a sucker for pirate stories- But the amount of heart that has been put in the art, the writing, the characters, the voice acting, the music, ... Every minute detail of this game was built out of love for a good story. Really recommend picking this one up, it'll set you back less than 15 bucks and give you a few magical hours to set sail with.1 found this helpful
A very nice point and click adventure. My playtime is exaggerated, because I was determined to find all 64 bottled messages. And then all achievements.
Well done. Really enjoyed the ending. Highly recommended if you are looking for a short, memorable adventure game. I want to play Kraken Fodder irl now.
Lovely and relatively short games of four chapters. It does remind me of the old lucasarts games which they are going for but not as taxing as the original monkey island. Still a lot of fun though.
Excellent throwback to old classic adventures, definitely recommended! Great story, humour, puzzles. Only thing will say is that control scheme for mouse & keyboard isn't great. After having played so many games with classic point 'n click mouse movement, couldn't get used to it. Pity not an option for classic p&c mouse input. But that doesn't take away from this great game.
Such a sweet and fun game <3 So wholesome!
