Players reviews

Oh my gosh. This game is gorgeous. I just started playing a few hours ago but the story telling is amazing, graphics are beautiful, and the gameplay is chef’s kiss. I wish I had amnesia and played this game for the first time again. I’m grateful that this game is entertaining and educational at the same time, I just LOVE it. Thank you for blessing my soul. To anyone reading this, download this immediately. PLUS! Make more!

As an Asian, I’ve never truly experienced the atmosphere of a place like ancient Rome or Greece. Studying Western history has always been a bit challenging for me because it’s hard to visualize. But thanks to this game, I’ve been able to immerse myself in ancient Greco-Roman civilization-it feels like I’m actually living there, gaining a deeper understanding of its culture. It’s an educational game, yet far more engaging and enjoyable than I ever expected.

This was such a incredible game! Not only was it engaging, enjoyable and fascinating but also as someone who is currently doing a Classics exam with the topic of Pompeii, this has been the best revision tool. I’ve always struggled with studying but in this format of a game which you can tell has had so much passion and care put into it, made revising amazingly fun. I can’t wait to see what’s next!! :D
