Captain Disaster the Computer Game is the main home of the Captain Disaster adventure games and related projects by Dave Seaman. The site brings together information on the games themselves, along with screenshots, trailers, walkthroughs, media coverage and occasional side projects. Most of the focus is on comedy adventure gaming, with a mixture of freeware releases, commercial titles and experimental smaller works. No generative AI is used in any of the Captain Disaster games. I do experiment with AI in other contexts, and where I've blogged about these, I clearly indicate this.

Dream a little dream of disaster...

I recently noticed that all three Captain Disaster games are currently on the GOG Dreamlist  (thanks to user @coffeecup for this, whoever you are!). Now I don't honestly expect much to come of this, but you never know - so if you feel like casting your vote for the games to one da appear on Good Old Games, check out the pages below:


Captain Disaster in: The Dark Side of the Moon

Captain Disaster in: Death Has A Million Stomping Boots

Captain Disaster and the Two Worlds of Riskara


In related news there is a game I worked on coming to GOG at some point in the coming months, but I'll post more about that when there's something more solid to report...

Steam Summer Sale 26 begins...

So, folks, it's that time again - one day after Itch started its summer sales, Steam has begun theirs. My games there are on the same 75% discount as on Itch.


Captain Disaster in: Death Has A Million Stomping Boots

Nominated for 7 AGS awards and winner of 3, this comedy sci-fi point and click adventure game will have you puzzling and chuckling for hours. A simple delivery job turns into foiling an evil plot for galactic domination. Expect to meet crazy characters, solve devious puzzles, and groan under the weight of more puns than you can possibly imagine...





Snow Problem

Winner of Best Non-Adventure Game and nominated for Best Programming in the AGS Awards, this puzzler has you guiding snow from the top of the screen to the bottom - easy, right? Well, maybe not with so many things trying to get in your way. 100 levels plus bonus levels designed by players - and a built-in editor to make your own levels - there's really snow limit...

Oh - only one review away from having an overall rating on this game - so if you buy it and enjoy it, please consider leaving a review!




The Ancient Art of Staying Alive

Nominated for Best Non-Adventure Game and Best Programming, this was designed as a coffee-break type game where you could easily play for a few minutes at a time due to the very short levels. It expanded into something a bit more with the addition of boss levels and a turn-based mode (the latter a request on the Steam forums). Everything about this game is deliberately minimalist and very, very retro - I even added a loader with those lovely lines around the outside!

The Itch Summer Sale 2026 is here!

 Yes folks, as we melt due to the heat in the UK (with other countries looking on in disgust as if to say "you call THAT heat?!?", our friendly neighbourhood indie store has announced that it's time for a summer sale!

Not wanting to be left out, I've put all my stuff on Itch at a whopping 75% off the normal price - and even a bit cheaper than that if you take the plunge (tempting in this heat, no?) to buy everything at once - for the princely sum of $7. Yes folks, it's a deal too good to miss, unless you don't want it in the first place. Or something.

Er... so much like the post below this really, only for much longer, and a bit cheaper. What more could you want, eh?

At the time of posting, or near enough anyway, this is how long you have left to take up this most meritorious of offers:

May the Fourth be With You!

Yes it's that time again, Star Wars Day, and I decided to put all my Captain Disaster games / ebooks / audiobooks on sale at 70% off (at Itch). Then I decided to just put everything I had on the store on sale, and give an extra discount to those brave souls who decided to just buy the whole lot - for the princely sum of $9.00.

You can access the sale via this link.


This is what you'll get - 3 games, 4 ebooks and 1 audiobook set (short stories).
