## About This Game
Fight the sea god’s wrath to reclaim your throne, and free yourself from the
ghosts of war. Will you live forever as a hero, a sovereign, or as a god?
An Odyssey: Echoes of War is an interactive retelling of Homer’s The
Odyssey by Natalia Theodoridou, where your choices control the story. It’s
entirely text-based –250,000 words, without graphics or sound effects–and
fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
The war is over–Troy has fallen. After ten long years, you, the crown
sovereign of Ithaca, have set your sails for home. 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.
And 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. And what songs will the poets sing of you–will
they hail you as a hero?…Or a murderer?
