I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.

Here's my thinking:


It's our world after a nuclear winter, and/or Persephone is dead, gone, or transformed into something irretrievable. That explains why it's Winter out, Hades's sore spot every time she comes up, and, most importantly, why she isn't helping Zag get through the underworld like her family. It would also explain Demeter's non-appearance; she's distraught over the void left by her daughter.


Since seeing the health pickups at the store I've been jokingly saying that it's modern day on the surface. You're getting a gyro wrapped in foil with fries in a red cardboard container from Charon ffs. I hadn't even considered the winter angle.

A bit of contrary evidence for this are the entries about the rail, cheekily saying how it a real good thing humanity hasn't figured out how to make an equivalent (guns), but Achilles wouldn't know if they had. I think Ares says something about that too maybe, but I could be mistaken. That and there boons are all "pre-recorded" messages, maybe they've been sitting around forever or something.


Anyway this might be the most polished rogue-like/lite with the most voiced dialogue I've ever seen. Having a real blast with it so far. I checked out a few early streams from a year ago and it's interesting to see how far it's come too.

Yeeeeaaaahhh, I didn't quite understand the weapon aspects and thought you had to upgrade the first tier before getting the second. So I have 3 bloods in Styg for Zag and then some more in Nemesis, and then 1 in the aegis for the chaos aspect... Whoops? I figured it out but I dumped a bunch in the Zag aspect for styg that I never use.

Really wish I could respec most of that. Guess I need to make do with what I've got until I can get more through other means, but I'm tempted to start over almost, except I'm like 20-30 runs in...

Made a thing in response to all the nerfs but honestly with the latest patch rolling back the shop mark-ups I think I'm fine with the changes now. Still amusing to me though.
