Steam Store description

In this award-winning* satire of gaming culture, you'll face the ultimate test of willpower against history's most manipulative pirate. He'll beg. He'll bargain. He'll gaslight. He'll hit you with uncomfortable psychological questions and make you question your own life choices if need be! He'll assault you with anime references and memes from all ages - some so ancient your grandpa might still remember them! He'll even try bribes like "I have a Half-Life 3 beta key!" (He's lying).
