Who is Daedalus? – A Look at Our Reluctant Inventor

Daedalus: Arcane Odyssey
A downloadable Game

Today I want to introduce you to the core of Daedalus: Arcane Odyssey — the character who gives the game its name.

Daedalus is not your typical steampunk hero. He’s a young inventor, always late to class, often lost in thought, and constantly torn between routine and curiosity. He’s not trying to save the world (at least not yet), but he is trying to understand it.

Visually, he wears rolled-up sleeves, carries goggles and tools, and moves through the world with a kind of clever awkwardness. Mechanically, he’s the player’s window into exploration, crafting, and discovery.

His key item is the A-Forge, a portable alchemical device that lets him combine items, improvise solutions, and — occasionally — blow things up by accident.

Here’s a look at his full character model from multiple angles
