Demeter: The Harvest Dies With You

Demeter: The Harvest Dies With You is a narrative-driven visual novel inspired by the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, reimagining the ancient Greek myth through the eyes of the Goddess of the Harvest.
Demeter once lived in peace alongside her beloved daughter, Persephone. But when Persephone suddenly disappears, that peaceful existence is shattered. Determined to uncover the truth, Demeter embarks on a desperate search, confronting gods, secrets, and the overwhelming weight of her own grief.
As her sorrow grows, so does the threat to the world around her. Will she find her daughter, or will her grief condemn the world to an eternal winter?
Inspired by Greek mythology but unbound by its original telling, the game explores themes of motherhood, loss, desperation, and the devastating consequences of divine power.
