## APOTHEON (PC)

### BY ALIENTRAP

*Apotheon* uses the geometric constraints of a Greek sculpture to explore the limits of beauty and glory. It’s beautiful, sensuous, and deadly, which isn’t surprising given it was created by the same team responsible for the painterly *Capsized*. Run right, stab left, or get impaled anywhere in-between. The challenge in *Apotheon* is nothing less than to bring down the gods themselves, all while navigating the aesthetics of bronze age combat. The road ahead is forked like a hydra but there’s plenty of solace to be found in the mythological sprawl that animates it.

**Perfect for:** Art students, Grecophiles, descendants of Achilles

**Playtime:** Several hours or until you take a javelin to the knee
