About the Game

The Navy needs you!

Can you keep a secret on behalf of America? There are rumours of homosexuals in the Navy, and it’s your mission to date them!

You are Midshipman Ross Jackman, and your mission is to infiltrate and expose this group in the most bizarre way possible, via seduction! You must use your wits and your charm to identify and seduce the homosexuals to find proof of their true nature.

As you gain their trust and develop deeper connections with other sailors, your feelings become more complicated. Will you betray your fellow seafarers by reporting them?

Which is more important? Your duty to your country and the armed forces you’ve devoted your life to, or your duty to your own repressed desires? Will you stay the course, or jump ship?

Get to it, Sailor! America is counting on you.
