VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Mythos: Book One [v1.1.0.0] [Nine of Swords]

I'll start with then negative.... the choice between the two main protagonists , Kyle and Kylie... while they are the same person, since the story was writtine in a way that both work, Kylie is super cute that it's obvious while she'd be popular with the ladies, and honestly she should be a love interest, Kyle on the other hand looks a bit too scrawny. and that's all the negatives I could find.... current score 4/5
now to the good part.
we are thrown into a living Baltimore where magic, fae and secret agents are your everyday bread, MC's ex died and something is not right; yes you heard that right! it's a murder mystery with some flirting and lewding along the way, but that's only if you are down for that, since it's possible to not partake in any of the lewd... player agency rulez!!!!
current score 5/5
Along the journey we'll meet a cast of lovely characters with their own personalities, quirks, motives, past, and goals...( Disclaimer : I'm not saying Tara is the best, but she is. she'll capture your heart with her punctual personality, charming butchery of k-pop songs and a butt to kill for) and among them hides the killer.
The branching is so vast that seeing everything in one playthrough is near impossible, and if we add to that the fact choices have reality altering consequences (for example if K-cup's hands smell of tuna,a certain pussy will be friendlier) and sprinkle it with some achievement hunting, and you got a game that offers you thrice the fun for your buck with it's repleyability. Luckily we have lorebook-chan to help us keep track of who's who and what's MC's relationship status with that person...

current score 9.99/5

I'm not sure if I'm qualified to talk about the sex scenes, since I only want Tara, and my MC had sex only with her, but the sex scenes are done skillfully (for both Kyle and Kylie) havin the right amount of ambience, intimacy and raw passion... if only there was VR support that allowed th player to feel Tara's butt...

if you hadn't played Mythos, have you even lived your life ?

Final score: THIS GAME IS SO FUCKIN GOOD THAT IT GOES BEYOND ANY RATING SCORE

A game that takes a different tack than the majority of stuff on here. Mystery, the choice of player gender, excellent renders. A harem isn't exactly innovative but is nonetheless good to have, and so far you don't HAVE to hook up with anyone. A lesbian game is always going to peak my interest and a quality put together lesbian game is very welcome indeed.

Spend some time clicking around and paying attention, the achievements can be pretty tough to get, but the bonus renders are a treat.

Liked, jumped on the patreon, looking forward to more.

First It caught my attention cause of that one dark skin character, it's very unusual to see one here for whatever reason that is and the lesbian tag was a bonus for me. i downloaded the game, and the moment i opened the game it sucked me in, i usually download a lot of game from here but most of the time the game is not-fun or just sex with absurd and stupid story, but this one felt different. it has very intriguing story with characters that seems human. The story feels unique and so does the characters, every character has their own personality and traits and it really reflects as the story progresses. Graphic-wise it's decent but there's sure some room for improvements, all the characters look beautiful though. it's still too early to call it anything but i recommend this to anyone interested in a good story game that's just not all porn and is unique.

Oh damn, I haven't really laughed at a game for quite some time now.
Having a selectable male/female MC is a great plus on this novel.
So far, I've never ever read a fantasy AVN before and to my surprise, I found this one very humorous not like a lot of fantasy/magic movies I've watched before.

I will watch this novel's development with great interest.

Also, congrats on your first release!

Wow, this game is so impressive.

The writing is fantastic. Dialogue and characters are all very interesting and the plot is deep and mysterious and I'm looking forward to how it will unfold.

But what really knocks this game out of the park for me is the presentation. Teri does things with the code that as a dev, I'm SO jealous of. The transitions between scenes, the sound effects, the music, the animations - they're all so damn good and really hook you into the game and keep every minute of play time fun.

I love this game. and I'm looking forward to the next chapter. If you haven't played it, give it a try - it is definitely worth your time.

Mythos is one of strongest debuts I've seen.
It certainly is unique, and it certainly puts novel back into VNs. World-building, lore, you can see how much love, thought and work were put into the game.

I won't dissect it into writing/visuals/production etc., because I believe that a game should just be interesting, and Mythos is.
There are a lot of nuances to the game, if you look for a world to lost yourself in for an evening - this game will be a great choice. It's a very enjoyable experience immersion-wise, as a "fap material" - not so much, but that is a matter of taste.

This is the kind of work that should absolutely be cherished, and hopefully nurtured into a whole-ass completed game. Or two.

Give it a go, support the developer at least with a like/review, come hang out on a comfy discord, and have a good day

Finally got around to playing this, and I'm stunned I waited as long as I did. This is excellent! I love the characters, especially Tara and Rain. I love the look of the game. The dialogue is excellent, the humor is well-done, and the pacing is great.

The world-building involved is also worthy of praise. You can tell that the dev has paid close attention to the rules and history she's established for the setting, and I have a lot of appreciation for that. I also really love the hidden nods to other games scattered throughout. It makes looking at the renders that much more fun when you have hidden Easter eggs to find.

Could not recommend this more! Give it a try, it's absolutely worth it.

Also, Tara has an amazing ass.

Just finished the first Chapter. I must say it's already one of my favorite games so far. Renders are great, the characters all have there own unique personality, and the storyline/humor is top notch. Can't wait for future updates.

I'll start with the negatives... the renders... they are not flashy as other top tier games, however equally enjoyable.
and this is all the bad I can say about Mythos.

and now with the pros...
This game feels like a labor of love, plenty of customised things like menus, lorebook (the handy book conteining informations about charanter, location, and places that are relevant to the story, that gets updated whenever someting changes) .
the love interests, if you chose to pursue them have their own distinct personalities and quirks . if you decide to not pursue romantic relationships with them, they still play a role in the story.
the story is a slow descent into a magical world, masterfully crafted to set just the right pace. how fast will depend on the questions MC will ask
The comedy is also nicely done

Now this is how a new dev should launch!

A good game, a great story, great art, and an awesome lack of engrish!

Other new devs should take note and aim for this level of quality. Can't wait to see what happens next!

Very nice start. The girls are attractive and also quite different looking from a lot of the standard DAZ stuff which is nice. The animations are good too. Narratively there seems to be an interesting story here and mysteries to solve not only about the ex-girlfriend but the girls we meet. The writing is really good in parts, particularly in the interaction between Tara and the MC; but also a bit uneven when the writer tries to be a bit too self-reflexive. Over all a really good start and worth a play and to be looked out for in the future.

Mythos has a strong start. There is intrigue, memorable character introductions, and 2* sex scenes with animations (4 if you play both gender versions of MC) in this first build. The transitions and visual effects are an especially nice touch that really paint a picture of the quality of work that went into making this VN.

There are many who will say “Don’t rate on potential!” But if everyone did that, then adult VN’s wouldn’t be as popular as they are now. I suggest you play Mythos and enjoy it for the sex, mystery, and fun that it is.

I know, I’m listed in the credits and therefore horribly biased. I’m Commander Alboe, and this is my favorite game on the Citadel forum.

*Some patronage required.

So the best way that I can think to describe this game is with three S's - it's sexy, sassy, and self-aware - all at once.

The MC, either as Female or Male, comes across as being likeable and competent, despite being thrust into some rather odd situations. They take it in stride, and handle it well, and don't leave the player feeling like they're piloting a soulless shell with zero personality.

The ladies (love interests?) are well-made and fun, with distinct looks and personalities. I look forward to happy lewdness with all of them, and I appreciate the care the Dev took in making them all stand out from each other and not just be generic cookie-cutters.

The plot itself is intriguing, and though I can't tell where it's going just yet (this is only this first release), I'm excited to go on this journey and see where it takes me as a player. The dialogue is well-crafted, clever, and peppered with little fun references that don't detract from the story if you miss them, but are a nice little bonus if you get them.

All in all, a very promising first release, and I hope the Dev keeps it up for a long while to come!

As a long time player and critic of adult games this game is so well done. From the art, the writing , the story and the way it is developed and prensented. This is a remarkable game to enjoy. wish nine all the best.
