I've said it before but there's something special about your mythology games. They just hit. 👌

[spoilers below]

I like how well-presented the conflict is, it really pulls on your heartstrings (especially when paired with the excellent voice-acting). I think the choice Andromache has to make is tragic in its own right, but the way she approaches it is even more heartbreaking: she weighs it against the life of her son, and her loyalty to Troy and its men. And though she's against the marriage at first, what she personally wants doesn't matter in the end. She has to sacrifice herself for the greater good because that's what's expected (because gods forbid she dishonors THE MEN). So I think it's a very sad reflection on women's position even now, not just in times of conflict, but in everyday life, too.

Oh, and I liked the art! It's very pretty, and the way you used colors to change the scene, even with the jam's limitations, was very clever. I especially liked the dark sprite on the red background because of the contrast. Very nice job overall! ✨

Hey Hiro, I'm glad you apprciated this game, I do love making these mythological games!

(Spoilers)

That's an interesting ready! I don't think it's about Andromache dishonouring her husband than dishonouring herself by being unfaithful. The presence of men in her life definitely is a frame to the story, but more than Hector, I think her faithfulness to Hector is the Pyrrhus-like trap. And more than the greater good, perhaps just Andromache sacrificing herself to fit her own idea of faithfulness and virtue (the origin of these values, however, is what certainly reflects a patriarchal society lol).

Thanks for complimenting the art, I'm glad you appreciated it! I had fun using the jam limitations (once again haha). Thanks for your feedback and trying the game, I appreciate it!
