What a great ending to the trilogy! There an unsettling atmosphere to this game that I really like, especially because if you played the other games, you know what's coming. It's like a car wreck, you don't want to see it but you watch (Or click SPACE) anyway. Poor Hippolytus, that scene with the sword was really gross to read. And once again, Phaedra thinking about herself instead of Hippolytus and blaming the gods for her own actions. I especially liked her color changes, like she's projecting her sisters as she did in the first game.

Hey, thank you so much for these kind words! And that was indeed the idea: you know that Phaedra is going to confess her feelings to Hippolytus, but the question it's going to play out, and the answer: in a most chaotic way haha! And yes, the colour changes were a fun echo to the first game; the pink for Ariadne, since Phaedra is literally putting herself in her shoes and forcing Hippolytus to be in Theseus', and then, the red for Pasiphaë, to show how wild and monstrous her passion for Hippolytus is (and for a fun fact, what has motivated to turn the first game into a trilogy is some feedback completely empathising with Phaedra and even blaming Hippolytus, when it is obvious that Hippolytus is her victim). I'm glad you appreciated the trilogy!
