ODYSSEY: Wine-Dark Sea

Troy has fallen. Twenty-eight men look to you to bring them home. Between you and Ithaca: the wine-dark sea, jealous gods, and every monster Homer ever sang of.

ODYSSEY: Wine-Dark Sea is a narrative roguelite expedition. Chart your course island by island, spend what you must — food, wine, favor, men — and live with every choice. In the myth, Odysseus came home alone. The canon is one of your possible endings. Can you do better?

A VOYAGE OF DILEMMAS. Pick your route across a branching chart of the Aegean. Face the canon of the Odyssey — the Cyclops' cave, the Sirens' song, Scylla and Charybdis — as brutal choices with no best button.

A CREW WITH NAMES. 28 named companions with traits and voices. You don't lose resources — you lose Eurylochus. When Scylla demands six lives, you choose which six.

THE NOBODY CHOICE. After every triumph: sing your name for glory and loot, or stay Nobody and stay safe. The sea remembers boasting. Poseidon's wrath is the difficulty you built yourself.

GODS AS YOUR BUILD. Earn the favor of Athena, Hermes and Zeus — their boons bend the rules of every run. Sacrifice food or wine; a hecatomb may soothe the Earth-Shaker. For a while.

THE SONG OF YOUR VOYAGE. Every run ends in a hexameter epic about YOUR voyage: your dead, your lies, your homecoming. Share it as a card. Four endings — including the one Homer wrote.
