Games Like Aletheia: Prophecy of Perseus

Step into the sandals of Perseus...

Growing up on a quiet island adrift in the Aegean, you thought life would be simple. You were wrong.

You assumed you would follow the humble fisherman's trade... but now a demand has been made of you: Bring back the head of Medusa, the monster whose gaze can turn men to stone. Your mother Danae knew this day would come. She tells you the truth at last - your father is Zeus, king of the gods. And there is more: The oracle of Delphi said you are destined to kill your grandfather, the king of Argos.

A fish-boy from the islands and a prince born of Zeus, your two lives couldn't have less in common. And now you're being thrust into the strange new world of the mainland to find the lair of Medusa. The gods watch you. The king fears you. And they say no man can escape his fate...

Aletheia: Prophecy of Perseus is a new RPG that puts you in control of the legendary hero as he embarks on his impossible quest - to slay the gorgon Medusa and fulfil his destiny!
