  • story
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is a playful and charming reinterpretation of the myth of Penelope and Odysseus, featuring enjoyable writing and a light-hearted tone enhanced by whimsical elements like ducks. While it stays mostly true to the original mythology, it takes creative liberties that enrich the narrative, particularly in the romantic relationship between the two characters. With multiple endings and a delightful soundtrack, the game offers a unique and engaging experience for fans of the epic.

    • “The writing style was really enjoyable, the ducks were a cute addition that definitely elevated the story, the pacing was just perfect, and I loved the romance between Penelope and Odysseus.”
    • “The story is playful yet rich with references to Greek myth, adding fun reinterpretations without ever feeling heavy or too serious.”
    • “I would absolutely recommend this game to any fans of the Odyssey or epic tales since this is an incredible game and a great spin on the story of Odysseus and Penelope.”
    • “Like the biggest change is Penelope being able to understand ducks, and that was used to enhance the story as they hold an important role in the narrative.
