Don't press X to free the pirate!

I haven't written a Steam review for 6 years, but I had to do it for this one. This isn't a game. This is an experience. It's not for everyone. You should know what you're getting into. My mind was going through a million things while "playing" this. Some things made me laugh out loud. The music transitions were really nice, and the music is unironically good. This is a truly unique experience. I can't think of any other medium where I sit down and simply don't have to press X. I wouldn't go so far as to say that it's the best experience ever, or that everyone should play it. But it's an interesting way to spend half an hour to an hour. And you'll be one of the few people in the world who did so. My only complaint is that some of the lines felt like filler. If those can be sharpened up with more wit, I'd recommend this to my friends. As it stands, it's too niche of a game. Fixing that dialogue (monologue?) would take it over the edge.

So a friend of mine once told me - there are games and there are toys. And the main difference a toy has is that you must figure out how to play with it. Honestly, I don't know what I expected when I bought this -maybe the requirement of 15 years of web weeb surfing got me, maybe the title is provocative enough, I don't know. But after I realized that there is literally nothing here except staring at a pirate, and pressing X means your doom, I was kinda on the brink of refunding since there is no actual "game" here. But then the pirate phrases started to kinda blend with my feelings - and I stayed a while and listened. I accepted the "toy rules" here - and genuinely tried not to press X. And it kinda started working for me! I played for like an hour - maybe more, but some reference jokes and music transitions were really hitting the spot for my nostalgia and general "what will happen if I press that button?" So I haven't refunded in the end, and will even give a positive review for the developer - since there is something interesting here, but I feel like you really need to be ready for such an experience and be open to it. Still, this is an advance in a way, so the developer …

pretty cool game with some funny banter, couldn't really get a hang of the controls though.

Dont press X!!!!

Click X before reading. I liked it, it's quite an interesting game.

Quite enjoyed the game. First review, I give the game 5 Stars, a 10.10, would recommend, here's a bucket filled with fish. https://static2.bigstockphoto.com/7/3/2/large1500/237158524.jpg
