A terrible curse ruined your royal wedding, placing your soul into your pirate grandfather's body. To lift it, you must lead a crazy crew through countless hilarious challenges in this adventure inspired by Monkey Island and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Pirates of Donkey Island is a funny, 79,000 word interactive swashbuckling novel by Gilbert Gallo, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

A gorilla gentleman, an undead rocker, a fast-aging Voodoo crone, and a ridiculous spokesman. These will be your only companions in the most incredible journey of your life. Every member has a peculiar story, and their experiences/interactions will help you determine your final, authentic self.

After dozens of insult-sword fighting duels, grog contests, and rigged wheels of fortunes, you will eventually look at life from an entirely different perspective.
With your crew's help, you'll discover the truth about your hated pirate grandfather. Will you then embrace your cursed condition or fight against your doom?

• Decide your main character's body and orientation during the game. Will you end up being male, female, or non-binary? Gay, straight, or asexual? It's up to you to decide.
• Live the cursed swashbuckler's life! Will you look for a way to lift your curse or enjoy your damned existence until the afterlife?
• Find romance with a hairy, mighty gorilla or spend your life together with a zombie. Or will you prefer to date a venerable, wrinkly, and toothless lady?
• Lead a motley crew of cursed people and use their incredible powers to uncover the Cursed Caribbean's mysteries.
• Engage your opponents in hilarious insult-sword-fighting duels!
• Will you cherish your crew members as a respected leader, or will you betray them for gold, selling their souls to Davy Jones?

Stop waving your sword like a feather duster and sail the Cursed Caribbeans to discover the ultimate treasure: your true self!
