Athenian Rhapsody Gameplay Trailer

[h2]So what's this game about, anyways?[/h2]
Welcome to the world of Athens, where you'll jump feet first into crafting your own epic RPG story! Athenian Rhapsody is a game where players are free to make their own decisions about how to handle any situation, altercation, and shenanigan which they face.

The premise of Athenian Rhapsody is to let players explore, learn, and build relationships as they please in an imaginary world full of excitement, humor, and secrets to uncover. The world responds to how your player runs through it - and there is no "right" way to play! Follow your heart and create your own special Rhapsody.

Choose to DEFEAT or BEFRIEND each enemy you come across - either collect their EXP and grow stronger, or add another friend to your social circle. Who knows what making different decisions could lead to? Your decisions will allow your story to unfold in ways you may not initially expect...

This game has so many options to choose throughout the story that no two players will ever have the same story. After you finish a completely unique and special playthrough, you'll receive a postcard which contains all of the information from your epic called a Rhapsody.

So you've just completed a long playthrough full of immense challenges, time spent with your favorite party members, and amazing pieces of lore you managed to dig up. Heck, let's say you've gotten THREE of these babies! What can you do with 'em now?
  • Trade Rhapsodies across any devices you wish - Whether you're taking Athenian Rhapsody on the go or sitting at your favorite LED ridden setup, you can trade Rhapsodies with anyone anywhere. That means trade entire playthroughs as collectibles, even if it's only temporarily to learn about each other's experiences!

  • Narrate Rhapsodies - Crack open that Rhap and receive a full list of the protagonist's stats, personality, and adventures in Athens! Do this to compare stats like who had more game overs, who had the most money stolen from their protagonist, badges awarded to various party members, and more nitty gritty details like your favorite foods!

  • Stack Rhapsodies - What's cooler than one Rhapsody? Two Rhapsodies meshed together! Maybe even THREE Rhapsodies! You get a Rhapsody, and YOU get a Rhapsody, and- sorry, let's get back on track.

    Combine Rhapsodies of different pathways to create a Stacked Rhapsody - in this epic artifact, both or all three playthroughs will be compared and contrasted, hidden details and information about the epic tales will be revealed, and a deeper understand of who you really are will shine through!

  • Delete your friend's Rhapsodies - don't do this


So this is Athenian Rhapsody. To be honest, it's YOUR Athenian Rhapsody.

This world aims to be a fun, lighthearted, and adventurous escape for you, whoever you are - and aims to invigorate each and every player's passion and energy for living the life they deserve! Remember who you are, how your uniqueness makes you special, how much you have to be grateful for, and keep each reminder with you forever in your Rhapsodies.

PAX East 2024 + Release Date Following

[h2]Athenian Rhapsody is attending PAX East 2024 with a RELEASE DATE following shortly![/h2]

Athenian Rhapsody at PAX:
Like stated in the title, Athenian Rhapsody will be at PAX East 2024 showcasing an exclusive in-person demo featuring the character Uncle Billiard. This demo is only available to convention goers at the moment, and has been designed to be a more immersive and quick experience for the player.

We've also ordered several thousand Thunder Goober hats for attendees to wear around the convention and cosplay everyone's favorite wizard (irritable bowel syndrome sold separately). PAX East is the only place you'll be able to obtain these hats at the moment, and they're made of very sturdy material too so they'll definitely serve as a long lasting pre-launch souvenir.

I also plan to do daily giveaways of Athenian Rhapsody through digitally redeemable codes which will be sent to winners upon the release of the game - I'm not sure of the exact details yet, but during the show day submissions will be collected and winners will be announced at the end of each day.

Release Date Announcement:
We're just about ready to start our full rollout of Athenian Rhapsody and announce our planned release date to the public - this will most likely be ready within several weeks of PAX East through a brand new trailer. This will be extremely exciting as we have lots of collaborations, content, and exciting things planned for the rollout.

Please stay alert with open eyes and ears after PAX so that you don't miss any new exciting pieces of news from Athenian Rhapsody in regards to release!
