Reviews

“I think that Cleo - A Pirate’s Tale is severely underrated and deserves more attention, especially by fans of classic adventure games.”
9.5 / 10 –

“Voice acting is on par with triple-A games; it’s wonderful. Each character has a unique personality that shines through as you talk to them.”
5 / 5 –

“The biggest winner for me here is certainly its extremely simple but utterly charming pixel art design. While the characters are just a handful of pixels, they’re unique enough to leave a lasting impression. If the developer proved anything with this game (he proved a lot), it’s he knows how to create a very fun and approachable atmosphere.”

About This Game

„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 and was released late 2021 with full voice acting in English and German.

ARRRGH!
