Relive the ancient fable of Orpheus rescuing his beloved Eurydice from the depths Hades, beat by beat! Delve through layers of Hades battling gorgons, cyclops, hydras and more with your trusty lyre.

The gameplay is akin to 2D roguelike dungeon crawlers with combat being carried out in a call-response minigame. The visuals are styled after old gameboy titles with 8-bit graphics (for the most part) and a restrictive colour palette.
Controls
- WASD to move on keyboard. Q to interact.
- Analog or D-Pad to move on controller. X or Square to interact.
- When in battle, match the notes with the direction on the notes
- Pressing Alt+F will toggle the game in and out of fullscreen
Windows may require the VC++ redistributables to be installed. Which can be found here.
As of Version 1.1 the Linux version of this game is now built on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS against SDL 2.0.10. Newer versions of SDL2 will work automatically through their dynamic api system.
Version 1.1:
- Fixed issue with bosses not being bosses
- Fixed issue with enemies causing double battles one after another
- Re-built Linux version on Ubuntu 20.04 for (hopefully) a more stable glibc version (Thanks @raptor851!)
