HELLO. Thank you so much for making and sharing this game and above all i can't believe it's free?? i would definitely give a donation but i don't have the means to do so rn However once i do i will definitely donate! your game is so gorgeous breathtaking jawdropping and i can see the effort that you put into it so thank you again [sob]
i love the odyssey and odypen (and EPIC the musical lol) so i was super excited to see this game on itch.io!! and the game definitely DID NOT disappoint. i've been a lurker for a while now but i literally created an itch.io account just so I could comment how much i love and appreciate this game >.<
i recently read the penelopiad (by margaret atwood) and i'm not sure if you referenced it while writing the game script, but it really reminded me of the book! i really like how you emphasised that odysseus and penelope connect through storytelling, where they're both intrigued by the stories that they tell each other.
i really love the scenes between odysseus and penelope; they're so sweet without being cliché! i also think that the pacing of the story is perfect, where their relationship develops along with the plot, so it doesn't feel too fast/too slow. It's also so interesting that you included a main story branch, with one lighter route and one darker route, both of which i enjoyed very much!
i got the happy ending (where penelope confesses earlier) on my first try and it was so cute i almost died
the jab at the... telegony... in the pre-odyssey theatre lolol i hate it too.
i just have one question - in the pre-odyssey theatre why does odysseus say 'they would have linked [the hypothetical trojan duck]' to his bond with penelope? is that a bad thing for him?
(ps. sorry for the rambling)
