Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island
I’m a sucker for Greek Mythology. But even if Mythwrecked didn’t have any Greek Mythos in it, it’d still be a kick arse game to pick up! The game also has a tonne of accessibility features and options that look groundbreaking for an indie title (a light and dark mode text bubble? AMAZING!). I’m really keen to pick this game up!
