WAITING FOR THE DEATH WIND

Description

Is a hand-drawn, fully voiced narrative set in a mythic Greek-inspired world. Players step into the shoes of an aging Athenian warrior, gravely wounded after battle, as he confronts the goddess who forsakes him. The story unfolds through emotional dialogue, blending original music and atmospheric sound design to create an immersive experience. Crafted entirely in 2D with a hand-painted aesthetic, the game emphasizes intuitive point-and-click interactions. Players use mouse clicks to navigate conversations and progress the story, with keyboard shortcuts for fullscreen mode, preferences, and dialogue navigation. Note: Some voice lines may not display in non-Chrome browsers—a known engine limitation.

Inspirations also include *Sl.
