The Curse of Lord Darkbown

Ahoy there, sea dogs! 

Want to hear another grim tale that reeks of tarred planks and salty sea winds? This legend chills the blood even of the most weathered pirates.

They say that if you spot an especially thick greenish fog gathering over the water, all you can do is pray for the salvation of your soul. Grab your prayer books and any charms you’ve got, ’cause nothing else will help.

First, through the swirling mist you’ll see the faint outlines of a ship: a broken bow, torn lifeless sails, ropes covered in mold and barnacles. It’ll drift toward you, slow and silent, until you come face to face with a terrifying ghostly skeleton standing at the helm of this dreadful vessel.

This is the spirit of vengeance of the great Lord Darkbown, cursed by a powerful shaman from one of the islands. Now he’s doomed to wander the seas with no chance to set foot on land. Do you have enough courage—or madness—to accept his aid and seize mighty otherworldly power?

Summon ghosts that will fly from enemy to enemy and strike them.

By taking Darkbown’s blessing, your ship will become the most toxic vessel in the Sea of Time. Its abilities revolve around poison that makes foes literally melt before your eyes.

Or become a ghost yourself and glide through enemies, dealing damage as you pass.

Follow the game’s page, add Curse of Pirates to your wishlist, and drop by our Discord to hear grim sea legends and drink a mug of the strongest rum.

Yo-ho-ho, see ye on the high seas!
