About Hearts Before The Arrow

For twenty years, the wine-dark sea has swallowed the King of Ithaca. Now, the great halls of Odysseus echo with the laughter of 108 arrogant suitors. They drink his wine, slaughter his livestock, and plot to steal his Queen.

You are merely a servant in this occupied palace—expected to pour the wine, clear the plates, and survive the whims of the nobility. But it is dangerously easy to catch the eye of the men who would burn Ithaca to the ground for a crown.

As you navigate the treacherous politics of the palace, you find yourself drawn to the doomed. Perhaps it is the rightful Prince trying to reclaim his home, the cruel goatherd who rules the courtyards, or the arrogant lords plotting to usurp the throne.

But the Fates are spinning a bloody thread. Whispers on the wind say the King is returning. The massacre of the suitors is inevitable. When the bronze-tipped arrows begin to fly, whose side will you choose? Will you help the Prince slaughter the men who defiled his home, or will you risk your own life to save the villain you love?

Defy the bards. Rewrite the myth. Choose who lives, and who dies.
