СЕТТИНГ
Post-Apocalypse in Ancient Greece. An anomalous heat scorched the land, and the city suffered from constant fires.
NARRATIVE
Twenty years ago, the sun god Helios entrusted his chariot to his son Phaethon, but he could not control the wild nature of his horses. The father tried to strike him with lightning, but this led to a rift between their worlds, and Phaethon, along with the force of the sun, remained forever in the human world above the city of Corinth.
The main character is Alexis; she must care for a warrior named Damon. To do this, she searches for medicinal herbs, battling the scorching sun and constant fires. Every time she steps out of the shade, an overheating meter rises—to avoid sunstroke, she must plan her route near water or buildings.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Schoolchildren, students aged 20–25, and students in the humanities program. They are interested in mythology, the Greek Gods, and their contribution to human civilization. They play to enhance their knowledge of history and to feel connected to the myth. They play several times a week, primarily for the narrative and simple gameplay.
USP
A combination of refined, ideal Greek aesthetics with a harsh apocalypse.
MECHANICS
Tension between people is rising, so everyone wants to become a hero and reach Helios, which they can do by assembling his chariot. Its parts are scattered throughout the city but are carefully hidden. Alexis fears that a war will break out amid the growing power, so in her free time, she explores various locations to assemble the chariot by herself. It is important for her to remain unnoticed so the warriors won’t track her.
