My Bonny My Lassie: A Pirate AudioGame About Freedom, Love, and Legacy
Today we’re releasing “My Bonny My Lassie”, a brand-new AudioGame Season written by Silvia Biasiol (Game Designer). This audio-first interactive adventure unfolds across three chapters, each told from a different point of view: Anne Bonny, Mary Read, and Jonathan Barnet.
Set in the Caribbean of 1720, in the heart of the Golden Age of Piracy, the AudioGame blends historical legends, romance, and survival with the immersive qualities of a cinematic audiobook.
An Audio-First Pirate Adventure
My Bonny My Lassie is a choose-your-own-adventure designed focused on sound. Players navigate pirate mutinies, dangerous seas, and forbidden love through 360° audio, branching choices, and voice interactivity.
Every decision matters:
Will Anne Bonny hold command or lose it to mutiny?
Will Mary Read reveal her secret or remain in disguise?
Will Jonathan Barnet act as executioner, judge, or unexpected ally?
Choices ripple across the season, offering multiple outcomes and a personal retelling of one of piracy’s most iconic legends.
A Season of Three Perspectives
Unlike single-character narratives, this full season rotates viewpoints across its three chapters:
Anne Bonny — Quartermaster, fighter, and lover of Captain Jack Rackham.
Mary Read — Disguised sailor torn between survival, love, and identity.
Jonathan Barnet — Privateer bound by duty and haunted by violence.
This structure allows players to re-live the same story from shifting perspectives, experiencing not only what happens, but also why it matters.
Themes Beyond Adventure
At its core, My Bonny My Lassie is about more than pirates. It is about:
Freedom — from law, from gender roles, from expectations.
Identity — hidden, revealed, or reshaped by choice.
Legacy — deciding how history remembers Anne, Mary, and Barnet.
The narrative balances fact and fiction, asking players to weigh justice, loyalty, and desire against survival.
