You'll climb towering cliffs, swim through underwater caverns, and navigate treacherous dungeons to pursue the fabled treasure of Davy Jones. Prepare for fast-paced, visceral combat as you face off against cursed pirates, undead skeletons, and fierce sea creatures. Use magic lantern and classic pirate weapons like flintlock pistol and other weapons as you fight your way through hordes of dark, malicious enemies...

Pirates VR: Jolly Roger is a pirate experience that, at first, appears to be a game that offers plenty of things... but not much of a pirate experience. Your environment is a little limited with only a single island to explore. So, don't expect any ship action, raiding and pillaging to be on offer here. What you do get is plenty of climbing and puzzle solving as you move from one environment to another on your quest to pick up loot.

There are a variety of intricate puzzles scattered across the island. From unlocking hidden passages to disarming ancient traps, you’ll need to think quickly and cleverly to uncover the secrets buried deep within the island. Every puzzle solved brings you one step closer to the treasure - and the dark truth behind it.

Climb rocky cliffs, rappel down ropes, swim through sunken grottos, and navigate tight cave systems, all in beautifully rendered VR. Feel the rush of the wind in your face and the splash of the sea as you explore this fully interactive pirate world. You're not alone on this journey. Your (rather annoying) parrot companion is always by your side, offering helpful advice, clues to solve puzzles, and cheeky commentary to lighten the mood.

It might not be the pirate experience that you wanted, but it's certainly a lot of fun.
