Plundered Hearts is not a "game", it's interactive fiction. And specifically interactive PIRATE fiction.

It's like a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure novel except you can't choose the adventure, you have to work your way through it by solving problems. Conducted in prose.

In other words, if you solve all the puzzles / problems, then it's basically like interacting with a novel in which you, the reader, get to be Keira Knightley in Pirates of the Caribbean.
