It was a bummer that the game sets you up as married and also as having many possible love interests. On the other hand, they do combine to make an interesting tale, and I felt like the ending choices especially did a good job of setting up competing interests. I've seen before that Choicescript games that focus on those tend to be less popular, since they make players feel like their choices either are wrong or don't matter. It makes sense that it is underrated because it uses loss, failure, and fate for a stronger narrative. This is currently one of the top contenders for 'Most underrated game' on the choice of games website, and it makes sense, both that it is underrated and that people like it. So, for instance, you can visit the Lotus eaters or the cave of the cyclops, but you could just as well end up recreating the Labors of Hercules. It recreates many of the familiar scenes but leaves several surprises. In it, you play a greek hero (or from a neighboring country), child of a god (which one is your parent is selectable), trying to get home after sacking Troy. This game, in my opinion, faithfully captures much of the feel of the Odyssey. Travel to the underworld-but make sure you can pay the ferryman, and tame the three-headed Cerberus!.
Return to the loving embrace of your spouse and son who wait for you in Ithaca, or make a new home for yourself along the way. Face your personal demons and the actual monsters of ancient Greece: the Cyclops, the Sirens, Scylla and Charybdis, and the Hydra!. Prove yourself to the gods and claim your place in the pantheon as a god yourself. Build your reputation and make sure you are remembered as a hero-or redefine the meaning of heroism itself. Make your way as a leader, a fighter, or rely on your notorious silver tongue as the protean hero of The Odyssey. Lead your crew across the wine-dark sea, home to Ithaca-or fall prey to the many temptations along the way. Play as a female, male, or non-binary, cis or trans gay, straight, bi, aro and/or ace monogamous or polyamorous. And what songs will the poets sing of you-will they hail you as a hero?…Or a murderer? But Poseidon, god of the sea, has cursed your journey, and now, many trials stand between you and the loving embrace of your spouse and son: Polyphemus the Cyclops, Scylla and Charybdis, the Sirens, the Land of the Lotus-Eaters…you and your companions will even journey to the land of the dead.Īnd what about the memories that haunt you: the ghosts of those that you slew on the fields of battle? Do you even want to return to your spouse and the burdens of rulership? What if you find love or peace somewhere along the way? Not all homes look the same. After ten long years, you, the crown sovereign of Ithaca, have set your sails for home. It's entirely text-based-250,000 words, without graphics or sound effects-and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination. "An Odyssey: Echoes of War" is an interactive retelling of Homer's "The Odyssey" by Natalia Theodoridou, where your choices control the story. Will you live forever as a hero, a sovereign, or as a god? #Echoes of war free#
