„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.
THE STORY:
„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:
"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. The release is planned for late 2021 with full voice acting in English and German.
ARRRGH!

Amazing art, animation, music, writing, and FULL voice acting that is marvelously done!
I’ve seen people complain about the mini-game Krakken Fodder. Not sure what people are/were complaining about as I found it fairly simple and easy to get into. Maybe the dev made it so that you get luckier rolls/card draws after getting so many complaints? Either way, I found the mini-game easy and fun
This is such a charming game! Loveley characters, entertaining story and excellent voice acting. The puzzles were not that challenging, but still gave me a feeling of achievement when solving them. (and I really liked the Kraken Fodder card game - printing the card set as I write ^^)
My only complaint is the controls. I love my pointing and clicking, moving with keys and only beeing able to interact with objects when Cleo is close enough is just not my preffered UI.
This point and click game is a bit on the short side but it more than makes up for it with its story and somewhat logical solutions to its puzzles unlike other, more popular titles.
It also has a very fun minigame called Kraken Fodder that is highly replayable.
I look forward to the developer's next project, with or without Cleo.
