CLEO - a pirate's tale - DEMO
About
Please support this project on KICKSTARTER!
Cleo is a game project, I have been dreaming about for quite a while now.
It is a top-down, pixel-art, retro, 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.
For everyone, who loves the charm and innocence of the old gaming days - for everyone, who chooses wacky dialogues and clunky pixel art animation over multiplayer-raytraced-weatherdynamiced-branching-endings - for everyone, who is still wondering what "Big Whoop" really is, or knows a guy, who sells fine leather jackets... I am making this game for you!
And I promise you: I will do everything I can, to make Cleo a game you will love for what it is: A small, simple game project, by a guy, who put his heart into it.
"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 mysterious hints, 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, deceive, greed and bad breath - the world of pirates - and most of them are after the same thing:
THE TREASURE OF ETERNAL MEMORY.
