When not racing, these individuals have their own stables, waiting for their next race. Punters are placing bets but instead of horses, members of the aristocracy are forced to run on treadmills. One of the first establishments you visit will be a gambling venue. You have ships, peg legs and talking birds but you will also find family board games, claw machines and quaint, coffee shops. This is not a pirate tale as you might expect but a warped world, where pirates still reign. This narrative is simple and bizarre but feels at home in this abstract world. As the tale proceeds, Nelly uncovers the truth about the disappearance of birds that have been hypnotized by Baron Widebeard (who of course, has a wide beard) and the baroness. Nelly embarks upon the adventure in creative measures by mailing a crate ashore, with her inside. Nelly is set upon her quest for the ‘Treasure of the Seventh Sea’ by the ghost pirate, William Bloodbeard.

Heavily inspired by the Monkey Island series (subtle references will appear), Nelly has admirations of becoming a famous pirate (Guybrush Threepwood?), a title which her ideological naivety makes appealing. Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet is a point and click adventure game reminiscent of the classic Lucasarts games of the early nineties. Rest assured, although this surreal pirate universe was created prior to The Fowl Fleet, you will not feel stranded ashore when starting the sequel. The reception to the game inspired Alasdair to think bigger and as such, The Fowl Fleet is more ambitious in every way with its bigger story accompanied with improved visuals and animations.
