Embark on your own Athenian Rhapsody today
Today sees the launch of Athenian Rhapsody on all platforms. Described as a “choose-your-own-adventure action RPG with the ability to trade entire playthroughs between friends,” the game also offers a free demo available on PlayStation, Switch, and Steam.

Players can explore the colorful world of Athens, make friends, participate in various mini-games such as weight-lifting, shooting bugs, or drawing their own bosses, and face challenging tasks like “Carry A Feather” as they travel from town to town. Each player’s journey results in a unique story, or Rhapsody, which can be shared online with others.
