The HMS Barfleur Incident
Curse of the Sea Rats begins with the British ship HMS Barfleur returning to England from the Caribbean with a hold full of prisoners. Among these prisoners are our protagonists, four individuals who, in the eyes of the British Empire, are lawbreakers and must be tried for their crimes. Famous pirate captain Flora Burn and her crew are imprisoned alongside them. In a daring escape, Flora uses a mysterious artifact, the Serpent’s Eye, to turn all the crew members into rats! In the ensuing chaos, Flora kidnaps Admiral Benjamin Blacksmith’s son as insurance. Unable to leave his shipwrecked crew, the Admiral asks you to return his son to him in exchange for a full pardon.
Explore the 18th century Irish coast
Curse of the Sea Rats offers players to explore over sixteen unique and striking environments. From the cold rocky shores of Shipwreck Beach to the glowing autumn leaves of Banba Forest, ancient and mystical forces are at work along the Irish coast. Each new area the player discovers is different from the last, with unique enemies to fight and environmental challenges to overcome, such as the fierce gales of the aptly named Cliff of the Winds.
