Legends tell of a sailor who discovered the Golden Compass, a mystical device that was supposed to direct its user to vast hoards of treasure. The last known holder of this device, Jack Treepwood, has not been seen since he set off for lost "TAOKI" island. Excited by the tales he has heard of this wonder, young pirate Stachmou embarks on his own search for this fabled artefact. But without the compass to guide him, even locating "TAOKI" island is going to prove a taxing challenge. This piratical tale is the quest for the secret to finding all treasures. The graphics use a cartoon style, though with a detailed, realistic look overall. Stachmou himself wears the traditional stripy jersey and bandana of a low-level pirate, but is distinguished by a huge moustache. Your journey will take you from the toilets of the local pirate bar to a monkey-infested tropical island. The characters are well animated, complete with background motions such as the barman polishing glasses. Ambient sound consists of noises appropriate to the current setting, including the cries of jungle animals. There are also sound effects for player actions. Dialogue is solely voiced as a mumbling noise, though the mumbling differs between characters. |
