An attempt at a review of Mythos: Book One [Ch1.1]
As you can choose to play a male or female MC, and I have only played as the female one I will not be talking about how the game plays as a male MC.
The story is very interesting, it starts out as your ex-girlfriend has just died, but you feel that something is not quite right and slowly as you delve deeper in her life after the breakup, you find out that apparently magic is real and both you and her has some connection to it. So it’s essencealy a detective story with magic, which is as fun as it sounds.
The world the story takes place in(modern Baltimore) feels very real and lived in, it’s almost like I can visit Baltimore and see some of the places from the game when I get there.
The writing is what makes the game for me, the plot is intriguing, the dialogue both witty/funny and serious and really helps bring both the characters and the world to life.
As for the characters themselves:
Kylie(the MC): a great combo of smart, funny and adorable.
Tara: the childhood friend(no hidden meaning), just as fun and adorable as Kylie
B: being mysterious and stuff.
Sophia: with a speech pattern that is funny and slightly irritating at the same time.
Rain: mysterious greenhouse owner.
There are some lweding in the game but the story is the main focus, so the game is kind of a slow burn, so if that’s not your thing then this probably isn’t a game for you. But if you want to solve a murder in a magical fantasy version of Baltimore, whit some lweds and humor, I highly recommend this excellent game.
