broken friendship end, betrayal end, both of the true ends. true friend ending. thats all i got so far, is that all? my faverite one was the hard to get true story one, it made me cry knowing some sad parts of the odyssey. this is awsome!
i ADORE THIS GAME. sUPER CUTE ART STYLE, I LOVE THE DUCKS AND THE DUCK PUNS HAHA AND I ESPECIALLY LOVE THE NICKNAMES THAT ODYSSEUS GAVE THEM LOL. aMAZING GAME! i DONT HAVE THE HEART TO DO ANY CHOICES THAT GO AGAINST LOVE :(
I just noticed after typing all of that that my caps were on but im not retyping that lol
I was playing the game, and it's an amazing game I absolutely loved everything about it, and adding ducks to this love story was really a nice touch to it.
But I wanted to ask if the black duck icon is supposed to be overlapped by Penelope's icon, or is it supposed to happen and it's just me that finds it weird?
If the duck is supposed to disappear when her side image appears, you mean? Nope. The duck is part of the UI design, so it's supposed to be there all the time.
Such a nice visual novel, I laughed so much! (and those puns XD) It's the first time that I enjoy the censored version as much as the uncensored :') Lovely story, from now on it's my official version of the story!
WOWWOWO THIS GAME WAS SO GOOD N CUTE!!!and as a fan of the odyssey and penelope and odysseus's relationship, i really loved this! thank you for the beautiful art and charas and dialogue <3
I love this game! I really like characters' visuals, also ducks. The background setting-Penelope with duck friends is super interesting for me. I also love the characters' personalities, which are warm and healing.
I really like this game! And it is so much fun ^^ I am looking for opportunities to volunteer as a game translator as I would like to gain more experience in this sector. Would you be interested in letting me translate your game into Italian? :)
This is so beautiful and heartwarming! I had so much fun going through the game!! The ducks were really cute too!! I love the characters, and the relationship between Penelope and Odysseus!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS GAME!!! Its so fun and so fluff and so cute!!! But I wish there were hints on how to get some of the other photos in the gallery :( , all in all this game is GREAT! def a new comfort game for me
I just wanna say that I appreciate your game. I've always loved myths and epic poems with legendary themes. However your work manages to associate those themes with the actual game lore in a light hearted manner, which I am quite a fan of.
The purpose of the ducks was what I thought of as initially being a comic relief and it ended up being a crucial part of the plot in some situations. I loved that. I also enjoyed your own perspective of the characters.
It reminded me of when I first read The Illiad and The Odyssey. Needless to say, it brought back memories :')
Got back my deserted and forgotten itch account (I was gonna create one when I realized my gmail account was taken and I had an account) just to write this comment.
Your game is soooo awesome, I spent all day after work just play this masterpiece :D But honestly i can't get that on cg the one after crying Penelope in here room, please helllp TT~TT
Oh! I think that one might be the friendzone ending. Is that the one before the uh... fanservice CG? There are two ways to get it-
A. Don't say hi to him>question him first before helping him hide>protest to dad>ask (his friends) about Odysseus>Don't take his hand- this should take you to Ending 2 route, but there will be an extra scene before the race day.
B. At the end of Ending 2, there's one last choice: friendzone the heck out of him.
lovely game with a sweet storyline and very funny moments. the different endings and illustrations were my favorite part.
loved the reinterpretation of the myth itself, as well as the effort you put into introducing the whole world and characters in an easy-to-digest way for those unfamiliar with Greek mythology. this game made me see Odyssey in another way hahaha! i always thought of him as this bearded, long-haired (like the statue representation of him actually) wise and rational slender yet athletic man, but never as a mischievous and troublesome sweet brat.
this game was so fun and cute!! the art was so cute, and the addition of the ducks was such a cute touch! I only got the romance end so far, but I'll definitely do more play throughs for the other ends! love the romance it was so soft and cute, kinda sad to think about the events of the Odyssey but love this game! keep creating awesome art and games!
I'm glad you had fun! Hope you also enjoy the other endings. If you have trouble finding them, there's a rough walkthrough for the main ones in the game file (it's a notepad file) ^_^
I loved this game so much. It has a great story and I just LOVED the artwork. The visuals were amazing. As someone who does art, I cannot imagine how much time went into making all the character sprites. My hand would for sure be dead by the end of it.
I loved the ducks as well! It really brightened the story and added some more humor to it as well! Overall, I really enjoyed the game! little sad there wont be a sequel but I get it ^^
That was such a sweet story, I'm so glad I played this! I loved it! I was smiling from the beginning to the end. Plus The Odyssey is one of my favorite stories, so it was pretty nice to have a lighthearted and cute story about Penelope and Odysseus. I'll have to check your other games! :)
thanks for this beautiful game its definitely on my top 10 list I liked ducks so much they are so fun I always get a bad end on my first playthrough but surprisingly here I got a friendship end which I really liked and I loved your art style it's really cute and I liked how choices change events I really felt my choice important (some other games really don't give that feeling) I liked theatre part so much too I think I loved everything in these game I'm looking forward your next project(and I am sorry for my writing mistakes english isn't my native language)
Your English is fine! I really appreciate that you took the effort to comment ^_^
I'm glad you enjoyed the choices. I wanted this game to have some replayability, so I tried to make the choices have an impact whenever possible. I did worry that the game might end up becoming to difficult, so I snuck in a walkthrough file (for the main endings) in the game folder.
İt's not that hard but I use walkthrough for one ending but I am pretty sure if I try little hard I can found myself. Anyways it's was a beautiful experience for me thankss🥰
Woo, thank you for the adorable story! Pre-odyssey is a charming love story about cute and soft love between a couple that you can experience in 2 hours or more. As I have mentioned, I love the interaction between our protagonists, especially how soft they were. Fluffy fluffy~ Props to the literal wingmen of ducks and their variety of looks! They made everything interesting and third-wheeling the couple, poor Odysseus. Haha for duck puns.
A light-hearted isekai sounds like a great idea, and I would love to see anything with Penelope and Odysseus and the ducks in it. I sure love to see more of that lovey dovey! Ooh, maybe PenelopexOdysseus in modern time would be nice! (I saw that great art nudge nudge wink wink). Anyway, I'll be checking out your future games and what you've made soon!
Absolutely loved this! I expected to enjoy it since I'm a fan of Greek myth, but was surprised by how invested I got in the love story. The character expressions and reactions are also cute, and the ducks add a layer of humor to the story that was refreshing! So great!
Though, now thinking about the 20 year departure due to the events of Illiad/Odyssey makes me unreasonably sad :(
Yeaah... one of things I kept repeating to myself while writing this was- "who is this woman Odysseus would endure 20 years of ordeals for?" and that was one of the things I wanted to convey to those who are familiar with their myth :)
Ahhh, this was so adorable! I'm pretty much obsessed with the Trojan War (though as a Patroclos fangirl, I prefer the Iliad to the Odyssey), so of course I had to play it after seeing your posts about it in DevTalk! :D (Admittedly, it took me a while to get to it, because things are nuts in my life right now, but I guess I just need some ducks in my life to help me out...) I love the character art, esp. the ducks, and Penelope hiding behind her veil. :)
The bonus scenes in the extras now make me want to see a light-hearted isekai set during the actual war. (Or maybe I should make one where the isekai'd heroine is too busy squeeing over how lovey-dovey Patroclos and Achilles are to actually bother courting anyone herself...)
Thanks! I might release a new one around June-July? (for Otome Jam) But I won't be doing the story. It'll likely be a team project, the same one as Tales of Misteria (another game in my profile; feel free to check it out if you haven't yet ^_^).

This story is very well written and drawn, I enjoyed every "quacking" moment of this story. great job to you and your team
I'm glad it was a quackin' experience😉
(This one's actually a solo project, so there's just me😂)

OOOO okay, bc I thought it was like a glitch or something, thanks for answering the question tho.
Hi! i cant seem to get the 8th gc aka the one in the bottom-left corner on page 2, could u pls tell me how to get it? I have all the other ones <3
That's probably Ending 1 B.
When prompted to protest, don't protest.
Then when you're asked to take his hand, don't accept. Then, just keep playing.
Tell me if it works!
it worked !! thank u so much <3
Such a nice visual novel, I laughed so much! (and those puns XD) It's the first time that I enjoy the censored version as much as the uncensored :') Lovely story, from now on it's my official version of the story!
Aww it's an honor to be considered the official version by someone🥺
Such a precious retelling of Odysseus and Penelope's love story. Amazing visual novel with lovely artwork. The ducks and the duck puns were awesome.
Aaaa this was so cute! I loved the ducks, the jojo duck was *chefs kiss*

Aww that's sweet! >///<
I'm glad you think so! I tried to make sure that the ducks also find crucial roles and not just there to be 'haha funny mascots' ^_^
Started laughing after 1 minute of playing.
Got back my deserted and forgotten itch account (I was gonna create one when I realized my gmail account was taken and I had an account) just to write this comment.
soooo cute!!!!
I'm glad this made you laugh! ^_^
Your game is soooo awesome, I spent all day after work just play this masterpiece :D But honestly i can't get that on cg the one after crying Penelope in here room, please helllp TT~TT

Thanks for taking the time to comment <3
Hehe it's my agenda to make people see Odysseus as a sweet brat XD

Well, there is a possibility of a sequel (I do love making content for these two), who knows? ;)
Oooo! I'll definitely be on the lookout if there is one in the future!
That was such a sweet story, I'm so glad I played this! I loved it! I was smiling from the beginning to the end. Plus The Odyssey is one of my favorite stories, so it was pretty nice to have a lighthearted and cute story about Penelope and Odysseus. I'll have to check your other games! :)

Thanks for the detailed review ^o^/
I do have a number of AU ideas for them (including Penelope and the Seven Ducks *cough*), but who knows if they'll make it into VN form ;)
Absolutely loved this! I expected to enjoy it since I'm a fan of Greek myth, but was surprised by how invested I got in the love story. The character expressions and reactions are also cute, and the ducks add a layer of humor to the story that was refreshing! So great!

the story of penelope and odysseus was very cute. i'm looking forward to your next project ehe
i stan the ducks!!
And the ducks thank you ;D
Thanks! I might release a new one around June-July? (for Otome Jam) But I won't be doing the story. It'll likely be a team project, the same one as Tales of Misteria (another game in my profile; feel free to check it out if you haven't yet ^_^).
is it complete
Yup. It's not a demo. It's a complete game if that's what you're asking ^_^
Oh my gosh this brought back so many memories from when I read these greek myths at school!!
I love the way you made an otome game out of Odysseus and Penelope's story, it was so cute!! Also, gotta love the ducks 🦆 they were the real MVPs.
The extra that was unlocked at the end was really funny too!!
Awesome game, it was a lot of fun ❤️
The ducks just be doin' all their best!
Thanks, I'm glad you had fun! ^_^
So cute, kyaaaa~
The world needs more Greek myth-based otome games!
Thank you for this little gem, I sincerely hope you'll keep at it :)
Thanks, glad you liked it! ^_^
Oh my, the art is good and I like the plot. It was sweet
Whoa you're fast XD
