Buy Theseus: Journey to Athens PC key

Theseus: Journey to Athens is an independently developed adventure/RPG set in Ancient Greece. You play Theseus, a fatherless boy raised in Troezen by his mother Aethra and grandfather, King Pittheus. As a child, he was told Poseidon was his father; when he reaches adulthood, Aethra reveals that his true father is a foreign king with no heir, whose rule is threatened by a deadly rebellion. The king’s enemies want to kill his possible children, so Theseus must reach his father before they find him.

Greece and its people

You travel through more than 20 locations across the Peloponnesos, Megarid and Attica, meeting historical and mythological characters and becoming caught up in their troubles and quests. The story draws on classical sources including Pausanias’ Guide to Greece, Plutarch’s Life of Theseus and Apollodorus’ Bibliotheca, as well as shorter works and fragments such as those of Bacchylides.

Choices and consequences

When you become involved in a quest, the game presents events through detailed text and historical sketches, then lets you choose how Theseus responds. Your decisions have real consequences and can radically change the story, which has multiple endings. They also shape the kind of person Theseus becomes, from a violent rogue who attacks anyone in his way to a silver-tongued diplomat who wins hearts and minds.

Turn-based combat

Combat uses a top-down, grid-based system in which Theseus and any allies face a variety of opponents. Items can grant Theseus special abilities, while allies bring skills of their own that may help secure victory.

Art and music

The classical-themed artwork is by Klaudia Jankowska, and the music is composed by Michael Landers.
