In a fantasy world full of swamp hags, dread gods, and wyverns, players control the bounty hunter Corsair who is bound by rope to the thief Dill. Corsair has been tasked with bringing Dill to Black Tower Prison so he can face punishment for his crimes. Yet even as Corsair desires the bounty on Dill’s head, the more he learns about Dill, the more doubts he has with his mission.

As the two travel across a dangerous, fantastical land, they grow closer together, and Corsair’s looming choice to turn Dill in or set him free becomes more and more difficult.

A bitsy story of a burgeoning friendship between a bounty hunter and their quarry. Unusually for a bitsy game, the ending isn’t predetermined — the whole game leads up to Corsair having to make a choice, with two endings depending upon that choice.

Beautifully illustrated and well-written.
