What do I do?
On your journey, you will encounter a small mischievous creature in possession of a golden key. This short encounter leads to an adventurous chase with different surprises during the journey. In addition to navigating the ship, you also have a fishing rod which you can use to catch yummy fish. These can be fed to the pelicans and... other creatures.
