Myth Through Time

Seven mythological sagas, from Olympus to Shenzhou. Play the heroes of legend through seven chapters each, with the gods watching.

Myth Through Time takes you out of recorded history and into legend. Each saga is as faithful to the original myths as we can make it.

The seven sagas

  • Olympus: Gods & Monsters (Greece): Perseus, Odysseus, Jason, Atalanta.
  • Midgard: The Heroic Age (Norse)
  • Duat: The Scales of Fate (Egypt)
  • Avalon: Mists of Camelot (Arthurian Britain)
  • Shenzhou: The Jade Throne (China)
  • Iram: The City of Djinn (Arabian Nights): Sinbad, Aladdin, Scheherazade, Morgiana.
  • Aztlan: The Blood Sun (Aztec Mesoamerica)

Chapters

Historical eras are open sandboxes. Myths are told in seven chapters. Each chapter has its own aim, and you complete it to move on, through to a final chapter and the end of the tale. Within a chapter you're still free to go your own way.

The gods are watching

Your offerings, oaths and arrogance earn the gods' favour or their wrath.

Most of the rest of this manual (time, the Directory, narrators, Timekeeper Mode) works in the myths too.
