About This Game

Three cards from the game, depicting three different eras of Greek pottery.

This game takes about 30 minutes to finish, has no sound, and is meant to be played in one sitting (meaning, there’s no save function!) 

  • Customizable Cards - Build a deck of ‘story cards,’ upgrade them to create new drafts of your poem, and perform the whole thing in front of a crowd. Each decision you make changes the story Homer tells.   

  • Historically-Informed Artwork - I originally made this game for a 10-day game jam in 2023 using pre-made art, but remastered it in 2026 with entirely new artwork that I drew myself! Each image is based on real Greek pottery.  

  • Maybe You’ll Learn Something - Learning? Gross! The game is meant to be enjoyed first and foremost, but I did include historically-informed nuggets for anyone interested in the subject. The Odyssey is one of my favorite stories, and I hope this helps make it more accessible to those who have struggled with reading it in the past! 

  • Developed Live on Stream - I created this game partly to teach myself GameMaker, and fumbled my way through developing it (as well as drawing all the new artwork) on livestreams and videos. More than 90% of the development process is available to watch on my YouTube channel! 

NOTE: This game includes spoilers for The Odyssey. (Though you did have 2,500 years to read it!) 

If you play the game, please let me know your thoughts by leaving a review or contacting me through developer support. This is my first Steam release and I’m very excited to allow more people to play it!
