About This Game

Follow Nelly Cootalot, a pirate with a ridiculous name but a noble spirit, as she investigates the mystery of the missing spoonbeak birds. Tasked by a ghostly buccaneer, she faces off against the evil Baron Widebeard to reveal corruption and endless wordplay in the Barony of Meeth. Originally released as a freeware birthday gift in 2007, this HD revival introduces 1920x1080 resolution, a full English voiceover, and a streamlined interface, with added support for macOS and Linux. Players will enjoy rescuing oddly named wildfowl, gathering questionable items for minor royalty, intercepting a pilot's letters, assisting supernatural entities, and borrowing facial hair from dead pirates. Notably, all net revenue from the game goes to the RSPB, a British charity dedicated to bird welfare. The description also mentions Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet, a separate stand-alone title funded via Kickstarter that is not required to understand this game.
