Charmed Tales: Colors of the Wind

Thomas is the Virginia Company's most disposable recruit: worst shot aboard, and the only man to lose a sword fight against a coil of rope, which is exactly why they send him up an uncharted river alone to find gold. He loses the canoe, loses his trousers, and washes up on Powhatan land with nothing else going for him. It's a comedic, grown-up spin on the legend, and it plays that way from the start.

What follows is six weeks of him filing hopeless progress reports to a governor who only cares about gold, while getting adopted by a fearless local woman, a four-hundred-year-old talking willow with a matchmaking streak, and a raccoon who has no intention of returning his pants. The "cultural exchanges" escalate from there, and the tree, notably, is not going to let this drop.

As Thomas, you read through his reports, misadventures, and the slow, absurd process of a man realizing he might actually want to stay, told through still art and dialogue rather than pants-related animation of any kind. It's a short, standalone story rather than a branching sim, more interested in the joke and the romance than in systems.
