And then there’s Oli, on his right, wound around his legs and playing with the hem of his shirt. “Whatcha thinkin’ about?” “Napping,” Martyn replies, more honest than a lot of things he’s told his new pirate crew so far. “You got time for something else?” He turns, raises an eyebrow. “What d’you have in mind?”

Or, in which Martyn gets his first Kestrel stitching.

[welcome-back-to-hoimycraf]

Owen stepped out of the recruitment office and let out a groan as she stretched. A sickening popping sound rang out as her spine realigned, his face stretching into a grimace. He’d spent all day walking around the island and his feet and back were giving him hell for it. Curse the fancy boots she’d stolen, as they were better for show than for walking. He still had more to do though, as he hadn’t even chosen a faction yet, but he’d save that for later. For now, he decided to just keep an eye on people, learn who he could trust. 

There was a group of people milling around outside the building, so she decided to start there. As Owen approached, snippets of the other pirates’ conversation arose. Something about a “battle for the ages” and other made-up stories he wasn’t very interested in. As she was about to pass them by without much thought, a sharp gasp peaked her interest. Owen turned and met someone’s intrigued gaze. It was a person she’d seen running around earlier that day- Sausage was their name, at least from what she’d heard. They were always yelling something about money, among other things, and he took to avoiding them whenever they came near. But, it seemed like he wouldn’t be able to slink her way out of this. 

Before he knew it, a strong hand had grasped her shoulder. “Psst, cmere,” Sausage whispered much too loud to actually be sneaky, the sharp noise hurting his ear with how close they were leaning in.

She muscled through the discomfort, forcing out a polite smile- something he was very used to flashing at the stuck-up snobs back home. “What’s up, what’s up?” Owen whispered back- properly this time. This wasn’t good. Wherever Sausage went, he was sure trouble was to follow.

Sausage didn’t respond though, only leading them away from the populated area and toward a much more dimly lit section of town.

“Y-you're pulling me away from the group so quickly- what’s going on?” Owen stammered out. It was meant to sound suggestive- mostly to throw Sausage off, but it came out more nervous than intended. It seemed like they were having none of it.

“Yeah, c’mere for a second,” they only continued.

She wasn’t going to let that stop him, though, so he laid it on thicker. “Yeah, no- no- let’s go further, let’s go further.” She wriggled out of Sausage’s grasp and took their hand. Thankfully, their surprise allowed her to lead them further from the group and toward a small storehouse. 

“I just- I-I got something very important to tell you-” Sausage started, clearly apprehensive, as if they’re not exactly sure what they’re doing.

“Well, let’s keep going then.” Owen pushed. If Sausage was plotting something, he sure as hell wasn’t letting them get away with it.

“Um-” They started to protest.

“Let’s go.” Owen shut them down more forcefully. That seemed to finally shut them up, which she was very thankful for as he led them into the small building.

“Um, yeah so-” Sausage took a step back, seemingly regretting whatever plan they had. They took a second to think before finally giving in and joining Owen in the cramped space. 

“Mhm?” Owen was getting sick of whatever innocent facade Sausage was putting up, getting straight to business. He leaned on one of the closest crates and stopped in sort of a half-sit, and put on one of her best flirty facades. He knew from experience that sometimes seduction was a good way to smooth things over, and hoped this might work out the same way.

Sausage composed themself, clearing their throat and brushing out their rather fancy-looking shirt. “Ok, so how much money do you have before we start? I always ask somebody this at the beginning,” they explained as if it was completely normal to start out a conversation that way.

“Uh-” Ok, weird request, but they were a Kestrel, so it wasn’t too out of the ordinary. Owen checked his pockets, knowing full well that he was extremely poor at the moment. “I’ve got three dubloons,” she reported. Now was the part where she gets called poor, isn't it?

“Oh- pathetic,” Sausage scoffed, dissatisfied. Well that prediction was pretty accurate.

“Excuse me?” Owen wasn’t going to let it slide. You can’t just call someone poor and change the subject, not even if you’re a Kestrel.

“Oh no, no, don’t worry about it!” Sausage threw on a fake smile and backtracked before lowering their voice as if people could still hear them. “See- there’s someone on this island-”

“Yeah?” Owen interrupted. He was absolutely bewildered as to what this was about, as she hadn’t even had a meaningful conversation with the guy all day and they were already getting cryptic. 

“-who said that you shot them in the back-” Sausage continued.

“Ohh….” Realization hit. He knew what Sausage was talking about immediately: Tubbo. 

“-and they’re going to kill you!” They broke into a large smile and straightened up to give Owen space- probably meant to be reassuring, but with how giant they were it only helped to intimidate. It was like they didn’t just tell her that he basically had a hit on her back with how matter of factly they finished their “warning”.

“Oh, yeah, yeah um… I did do that,” Owen admitted, “and yeah, I’m used to that. It’s ok.” He shrugged, unbothered. Tubbo wasn’t much of a threat from what she’d experienced, judging from how he walked away with a bullet wound and him with barely a scratch. 

“Oh- ok!” Sausage visibly deflated. It seemed like they were looking for more of a reaction than Owen gave them- but for what, she didn’t know.

“But, uh, thank you for the tip off, good to know,” he shrugged again.

“Well, just a quick tip, just a quick tip-” they scrambled to get their bearings again. “That’ll be three gold pieces, thank you!” They demanded as if Owen owed them anything.

“Interesting!” She cracked a smile. “So it’s a hold up, then.” It was more of a statement than a question; it was nice to finally have confirmation that Sausage wasn’t as innocent as they seemed.

That’s when things started to get interesting, as Sausage brandished a knife to Owen’s neck. They were really gonna try that huh? He smirked and watched as Sausage’s confident grin faltered with the click of a gun being readied and they felt the cold of steel press against their chin. “You really wanna try this?” Owen warned. He didn’t back down, staring Sausage right in the eye.

They stared at each other for a moment. Owen pressed the barrel harder into the vulnerable spot it was in, raising an eyebrow; a warning. After a few more seconds of staring each other down, Sausage backed off, laughing nervously. “Ah, it’s just a joke! Just a joke,” they barked out an (obviously fake) laugh and let the blade fall from his neck. 

Owen decided to play along, holstering her pistol. “Just a joke! It’s a funny joke.” He let out a laugh that was more nerves than mirth. 

“Just having fun, just a joke! Y’know I-I-I’m filthy rich, I don’t need that money,” Sausage blabbered. It was a blatant lie, something only said to cover up their embarrassing failure. 

Owen watched as Sausage fumbled over to the door and followed as they left rather quickly. She decided to follow the other back to where the group from before was still standing in front of the recruitment office. 

“Yeah, ok, well good to see you!” He said, trying to be casual, as if she didn’t just almost get robbed seconds prior. It was best that the others didn’t know about that, no matter how funny it would be to tell of Sausage’s failure. 

“Yeah, it’s fine, you can hold onto that. That’s fine…” Sausage waved their hand, as if trying to wave off the stench of defeat that was heavily wafting from them. 

An awkward silence fell between them. The other pirates gave them strange looks, but seemed to decide to leave the two be, most likely assuming very different things.

Sausage cleared their throat. “Well, uh, good luck in the faction-ing today.” They were looking for an exit, which Owen felt kind enough to give. 

“Yeah, thank you very much. You too!” He waved them off, earning a few questioning glares from others, but she didn’t care. 

She tuned out whatever conversation everyone was having in favor of watching Sausage curse and berate themselves as they walked away. He grinned a bit. She felt successful, and that’s all that mattered to her.

Reaction three of The Pirate's Fate and likely the closest one to my final impressions on the game.

This game does NOT pull any punches. From the beginning I was shocked at how brutal things were, as time passed my inability to adapt made it difficult to really appreciate everything. Second run was better as it allowed me to come to love the crew. Following that I began seeing what else was in store and discovered that the game has a ton of contrast. Some endings keep to that brutality seen early one, and often times there isn't a particularly satisfying conclusion.

However, this isn't a bad thing. Through all the suffering and brutality you get to meet and see some raw characters. There's a lot of kindness and beauty, and a ton of ugliness too. But it's unique, and it's there to be appreciated. There's no real right or wrong path, or action for that matter. Everything is gray.

The biggest issue with this is that sometimes the grayness of it all can be a bit smothering. And I think that's what may hurt this title down the line. It isn't bad to have a morally questionable experience, after all you're playing a game about pirates. It's a part of life you can't ignore. But as Mila changes, her actions become less of your control (fitting the feeling of the game very well), and with it you may find her acting overly violent, condescending, or maybe even a bit too NICE. It helps fuel the ending you get (sometimes even creating problems that make things worse prior to the ending) and typically by the time you're at act three there's no stopping the ride, that's just who Mila is for better are for worse. This is a design choice for sure, but it sometimes makes the whole experience a little harder to swallow. And without spoiling too much, some endings make the whole mess feel like a massive cosmic tragedy.

Why this matters is because I'm afraid a quarter of the audience will become disillusioned by just how dark this story is. It's a great story with great characters and sometimes you really need that life-like messiness thrown in there. Sudden catastrophe and despair along the way to balance out those kind moments of genuine good will and heroism. All it takes for them is to go down one of these darker paths and not feel as motivated to see what else this amazing story has to offer.

I will say that I did find the Pie Shop epilogue after a lot of hunting around, and part of me feels like that is what this game needs. Something a little more light to balance out the dirty mix. Hopefully the crowd that this attracts will stick around for the full show, and hopefully this gets an audience beyond the intended group. Even with all my complaints, I had a great time with The Pirate's Fate and I do hope to see enough attention from others go in to justify future expansions.

(P.S. Morgana is best girl)

"That's not the point," Ros snaps, and then her hand flies to cover her mouth, her eyes wide. "I'm sorry," she says, muffled. "It's okay. You're stressed. I know you're, like, the nicest most wonderful person in Ecclesia, but you don't have to be perfect all the time." She looks pained. "That's the problem. I... Graecie, I'm not who you think I am."

Seems like a pretty nice island; there are birch trees strewn across the grass, bright and boldly striped with black between stretches of white bark, and she can hear the chirping of birds between their branches overhead. Another sign that it’s finally spring - El will be pleased, no doubt. “You hear that?” she asks, spinning to catch El’s eye. El, who is… holding a picnic basket, with the blanket tucked under its woven handle. “Surprise!”

A few months after the events of Pirates SMP, Water and Eloise go on a quest to help cheer Water up. That's not all they get out of it, though.

“I - I mean, you know I grew up poor,” she lies, settling into her cover story as easy as any other mask. “Not like I could afford to cover my face in lead, and… ground-up beetles.” “Well, you’re one of us now,” Olivia smiles, having dropped back to rest against the arm of the couch. “You can afford whatever you want. And if you want us to pretty you up, then I for one would be more than happy to.” (The Kestrels find out that Martina has never had her makeup done before, and resolve to help her give it a try.)

Inital experience of The Pirate's Fate: it's good! Got some flaws but it's a solid adventure-y title.

I typed this up on mobile so apologies. Can't page break this.

My first playthrough started with the more motherly/chubby "empathetic" Mila but from what I've seen it's one of four different starting forms. How things branch from there can be wild.

I'd say one of its biggest strengths is both in its rapid pace but also complete unpredictability. Like this is a game of stories and there are many stories to share. Some are a tad predictable, but when it comes down to it, the overall story is a huge adventure and thus you can never really be fully prepared to experience it.

However, in being a collection of stories and adventures, you never really get the whole plot in one playthrough. On one hand this is great as you get to find out new stories on another path along with possible clues to the overarching plot. On the other hand when MAJOR shit goes down, the rapid pace of the story sorta plays against it. Like you can say "that's life" but then you kind of get stuck in a moment of disbelief. Like, did that just really happen? Is that it? That can't be it. But nope. Shit happened.

What I'm getting at, is that when you're playing a story that is more character heavy, a really fast plot can play against you. Because then you have plenty of excitment and action, but some of the emotions can fall flat when you get to the heavy stuff.

Ultimately I feel like what The Pirate's Fate did was a design choice, allowing character development and interaction throughout multiple playthroughs rather than just one single game. But I'm getting ahead of myself. I've only done one run so far and plan another soon, I'm only making assumptions. Mostly I was just taken aback by certain characters I'd never think would die to suddenly do. And then have this slight feeling that they're just hiding somewhere else rather than be truly dead. It's a weird feeling I know.

At this point so close to launch, I kinda wish there was a scene select option so you can jump to different points rather than save before starting every new story/scene, but some flags are ticked through decisions you make so I imagine that'd be very difficult to so.

Anyways that's me being super critical. It's a great TF visual novel and I felt satisfied in my hype. I'm certainly interested in seeing what'll happen next run.

Oh also it comes out tomorrow officially! Support it please!
