Captain Graybeard's Plunder is a choice-based pirate fantasy by Julian Mortimer Smith.
This entry is a smart interpretation of the phrase "interactive fiction." It's carefully crafted, compelling, and short enough that I don't need to spoil the main idea — you should experience it for yourself.
I appreciate how this author paid attention to the presentation details in this entry. Although the story uses standard colors to display dark text on a light background, style formatting is applied to differentiate specific passages.
I'm not normally a fan of handwriting fonts, but other design choices might not have made the story so engaging.
Captain Graybeard's Plunder is a tight, focused entry that put a lot of care into smoothly delivering a gripping pirate adventure. If I have one complaint, it's that there isn't more of it.
