7th Sea: A Pirate’s Pact
Fight for what’s right—as an up and coming pirate! Battle slavers, sea monsters, and your own corrupt government to become a hero of the high seas. But will you betray your own crew for wealth and power?
7th Sea: A Pirate’s Pact is a 200,000-word interactive adventure novel by Danielle Lauzon, set in the world of the table-top role playing game 7th Sea. It’s entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
Looking for adventure at sea? You’ll get more than you bargained for when you end up joining a pirate crew. These pirates are known among sailors for having their own moral code, one that is now yours. You’ll have the chance to rescue prisoners, uncover a secret plot, and even build a navy to liberate an island fort full of slaves.
But you’ll also be tempted to break your pirate bonds to seek your own gain. Would you still free the slaves if you could take out your own rivals instead? How far will you go to save your friends? And when you uncover corruption in your homeland, will you choose villainy or vengeance?
Earn your crew’s loyalty and they might make you their captain, but get careless and you might have to walk the plank!
- Play as male, female, or non-binary; gay, straight, bi, asexual, or poly.
- Choose from three different nations as your homeland, with distinct stories for each.
- Romance other pirate captains, or compete with them as your rivals.
- Fight for good, or work for evil.
- Lead a rescue, uncover a secret plot, and defeat tyranny.
- Visit various island nations to win them to your side and build a navy.
If it’s the pirate’s life for you, what will you sacrifice for freedom?

A decent enough little game. It's not quite the best pirate game by CoG, but it's a bit of a crowded field; Choice of the Pirate, Red Sails, etc. In all, I'd say it really does feel quite a lot like a TTRPG with a halfway decent GM. Some parts feel a bit forced, and others feel a bit glossed over, but that's often to be expected in tabletop. The romance options are decent, but not examplary; I remember them, but it's not like the love interests in Choice of Robots or Choice of Magics. The skills are usually pretty clear about what does what, though combat skills can get a bit confusing if you're not familiar with 7th Sea; To be wholly sure, I had to do a bit of googling. In all, I do recommend it; it's solid all round, though it's not quite on the level of some of the other entires by Choice of Games.

I have played through the game several times at this point (I own this on steam and on mobile). I am very fond of the writing style as it keeps me engaged throughout the fast moving storyline. This is a must-try for lovers of 7th Sea and choose your own adventure novels. <3

Overall, it was fun. It had an engaging story, many choices to be made, and was decently open. It could have been longer in my opinion, but at least there were some alternate paths that increase replayability. Gave me a few hours enjoyment.

Do you want to be a gay pirate? Do you want to be a non-binary pirate? Do you want to be a superhero pirate who helps others? Do you want to make deals with the villains and possibly become corrupted as a result?
If so, buy this game. You won't regret it.

Super fun. Brings the setting of the 7th Sea tabletop rpg to life in a big way.

I liked this game. It was a bit short-ish but still manage to get you from beginning to end without losing itself or the reader. The LIs were not particularly endearing but they also were not annoying or obvious add ons either. All in all if your looking for a light read for an hour or two before you go to bed, this story could fill that need.

This is a pretty good game for a relatively compact story size. Apparently it is based on a tabletop RPG called 7th Sea. You get to choose from 3 different backgrounds at the start that determines your initial reasons for getting mixed up with the pirates in the story. Some have claimed they didn't feel that the pirates acted like the pirates we know from history. They are forgetting one important fact: the game is set in a fictional universe, NONE of the place names have any correlation to our planet and its history. Also, it is based on a role playing game (RPG) and those tend to have people act more honorably than they would in real life. The game has several ways to explore the story, making it worth the money. I have one personal quibble with A Pirate's Pact: during the attack on Fort Freedom later in the story the right decision is harder to pick out since they all sound reasonable. I picked one and everything went bad, but I didn't feel like starting over again. A recommendation as long as you understand what you are buying.
