Aristophanes' The Frogs

"All modern writers are trash,  actually" Dionysus declared.

And so alongside his faithful(?) servant, Xanthias, the God of Wine descends into the underworld to retrieve Euripides, the last good poet. Faithully(??) adapted from the original award-winning (Dionysia Choice Award, 405 BC) play by Aristophanes, The Frogs is a (semi)point-and-click adventure game in the vein of the Ace Attorney or Professor Layton series. Use your powers of persuasion to make your way through Hades to return class, culture and art to a world dominated by lowbrow, hack comedy... And maybe have some laughs along the way.

Note: This game is currently unfinished. It was originally created under a deadline which, In order to meet, caused us to reduce our scope significantly. We hope to finish the rest of the play/game some time in the future.

Featuring:

• A lovingly crafted, 100% totally accurate (probably) rendition of Ancient Greece
• Intense one-on-one conversational action
• Historical/mythological in-jokes which won't land for the vast majority of people these days, whoops...
• Rivers
• Crass, juvenile, vulgar humour... Just like Aristophanes!
• And more!
