Description
About This Game
You have arrived at Sarpedon, a surreal island at the edge of the known world. Armed only with a bag, a sword, and your wits, you must continue your task as given:
REACH THE ISLAND
SLAY THE BEAST
RETURN WITH HER HEAD
While the island may be cloaked in an isolating fog, you certainly aren't alone. The colorful cast of characters scattered around the island anticipate your arrival, some more anxiously than others. What will they be to you, friend or foe? What will you be to them? Explore the island, discover its inhabitants, and craft your story in Sarpedon, a solo dev's love letter to his favorite myth.
Featuring
A hand-crafted, open-world island environment to explore
Unique interactions with 5+ mythical characters
Over 400+ lines of handwritten dialogue
Replayable mini-games
Discussion of grief, remorse, and the ways in which we cope
KNOWN (RARE) ISSUE FOR OLD MACHINES: If you open the game and hear sounds, but only see a black screen, that's an issue with the MSAA settings on your computer, and not fixable on my end. I apologize for the inconvenience. If you want to play, follow the instructions outlined in THIS GITHUB THREAD:
to turn your "Antialiasing - Mode" setting in the NVidia control panel from "Override any application setting" to "Application controlled".
