The art was beautiful and I wasn't really well versed in the myth, I was happy I got to play it. The voice acting is really great as well!

Hi, thanks for the video, it was funny to watch! For some lore explanation, since you felt a bit lost:
- the Sun, ancestor of the three characters, cast light on Aphrodite when she was trapped, with her lover, in a net forged by her husband, revealing to all the Gods the affair. Humiliated, she decided to make all the female descendants of the Sun unhappy in love;
- so, Pasiphaë (red character), fell in love with a bull; Ariadne (pink character) fell in love with a man (Theseus) who abandoned her on an isle only to marry her sister; Phaedra, the sister in question (purple character), fell in love with her step-son, Hippolytus, the son of Theseus and another woman (yes, Theseus was a womaniser defvgfe);
- so, at this point in the story, Phaedra confessed her love to Hippolytus, which she didn't want to for obvious incestuous reasons (+ Hippolytus hates love, but the sequel, Son of the Woods, expands more on this if you're curious, as it displays Hippolytus' perspective instead); desperate and shameful, she poisoned herself, and the game is her slowly dying from the poison
Also thanks for the compliments on the art and I agree: the voice acting is excellent, Justine did a superb work as the three characters! And I'm glad I made you discover this myth!!
Wow, I am glad you replied with the explanation! Thank you so much for watching. I'll have to keep an eye on future games because I haven't delved into this type of stuff but it's pretty interesting and I am happy to see you're passionate about it enough to make your own works on it. Keep up the great game devving!
