Information
Fight the wrath of the sea god to reclaim your throne and free yourself from the ghosts of war. Will you live forever as a hero, a ruler, or a god?
Odyssey: Echoes of War is an interactive retelling of Homer's "Odyssey" by Natalia Theodoridou, where your choices control the story. It's based entirely on text—250,000 words, with no graphics or sound effects—and relies on the immense, boundless power of your imagination.
The war is over—Troy has fallen. After ten long years, you, the crowned ruler of Ithaca, set sail to return home. But Poseidon, the sea god, has cursed your voyage, and now, many trials stand between you and the embrace of your beloved wife and son: Polyphemus the Sun-beast, Scylla and Charybdis, the Sirens, the land of the lotus-eaters... You and your companions will even travel to the land of the dead.
And what about the memories that haunt you: the ghosts of those you slew on the battlefields? Would you even want to return to your wife and the burdens of rulership? What if you find love or peace somewhere along the way? Not all homes look the same. And what songs will the bards sing about you—will they hail you as a hero?...or a killer?
Play as female, male, or non-binary, cis, or trans; gay, straight, bi, non-romantic, and/or asexual; monogamous or polyamorous.
Lead your crew across the wine-dark sea to Ithaca—or be the prey of many temptations along the way.
Forge your own path as a leader, a fighter, or rely on your infamous silver tongue as the multifaceted hero of
Odyssey
.
Build your reputation and ensure you'll be remembered as a hero—or redefine the meaning of heroism itself.
Prove yourself to the gods and claim your place in the pantheon as a god yourself.
Face your personal demons and the actual monsters of ancient Greece: the Adonai, the Sirens, Scylla and Charybdis, and the Hydra!
Return to the embrace of your wife and son awaiting you in Ithaca, or make a new home for yourself along the way.
Travel to the Underworld - but make sure you can propel the ferry and tame the three-headed Kerberos! Minimum
