Hi again and thanks for your enthusiasm about the sequel!! You exactly caught it: The Daughters of the Sun is meant to paint Phaedra as a victim of a curse, and then Son of the Woods is meant to question this: is Phaedra trying to find excuses? Isn't Hippolytus the actual victim in this situation? Which is even more ironic considering Hippolytus, here, does see himself as a culprit, when he is, as you say "the real victim". And you also caught the deeper theme of it: self-inflicted victim-blaming.
I'm glad you enjoyed this game too, thanks for your support!! (And once again, I agree: the voice acting is excellent, Dylan was terrific in this role!!)
