About this game

In Captain Silver, Jack Avery follows a tattered treasure map in search of the legendary pirate Captain Silver’s buried fortune. Though the captain is dead, his ghost protects the treasure with deadly vengeance.

Armed with a cutlass, Jack battles creatures from this world and beyond the grave. Successful fighters can increase their sword’s power or purchase special abilities that slow time and provide temporary invisibility. The quest ultimately leads to a confrontation with Captain Silver himself.
