About MYTH - Steam Edition
And so I gazed at the sky.
A sky with no tomorrow.
A world where everything had already reached its end.
I was all alone.
MYTH.
I was determined to stand up against that.
And so I turned towards it and muttered...
"Being of Light."
"Step through that door."
"And return to me."
MYTH is an ambitious doujin title that has garnered acclaim from Japanese VN enthusiasts, featuring a narrative that requires profound thought in order to fully understand its complex and multi-layered scenario structure.
The story begins in the distant future. The protagonist Meito Tanabe lives in the "world of light" - a world where no shadows exist. Yet, the "world of shadows" reaches out to him through Shimon, a girl possessing a shadow, who brings him into the world in which she lives.
Players will soon find there's more than meets the eye in MYTH, which features multiple interlocking story arcs that borrow heavily from Norse mythology. Included in the game is a note system and a highly-detailed character relationship chart for players to reference as they get absorbed into the universe.
MYTH also has a stellar soundtrack, featuring Kino Nei, Luck Ganriki, and Katakiri Rekka, all of whom worked on music for 07th Expansion in various capacities. Fans of horror or doujin games, like the Higurashi series, won't want to miss this title!

Really awesome denpa VN to play and then sit with and think about. Its textually dense and confusing like other VNs in the genre but its also not well known or covered by any youtubers or journalists. For me, this meant that after the game ended I couldn't just google and see other peoples interpretations of the game and that was really cool. I was left to sit with the game and think about it and come to my own conclusions on the theming and meaning of everything that happens, which is just something you dont get much these days. Overall a really strong denpage, dripping with strong theming and motifs, and a hidden gem that you can sit on and think about, without having all the themes, and foreshadowing, and meanings explained and critiqued for you.3 found this helpful
[Spoiler-free review] This is a very underrated visual novel. I have to say, I've never read a story with such a narrative complexity before and, upon reading this, I'm left craving more. It's extremely hard to talk about MYTH without spoilers, but what I can say to advertise it, using the references that the person reading this review probably knows, it'll be this: Imagine the feeling of intrigue, mystery, and the amount of plot twists, and theories in Higurashi combined with the complex metanarrative of Umineko. No, even... Imagine if Umineko had at least TWICE as much of narrative planes, and all of them were being told at the same time, intertwining and intersecting. This is mind-blowing! Utterly insane! Most of the time you'd not understand what's going on at all, and would need to step away to process the thoughts and feelings. This visual novel is a mind-screw. BUT! To see this complex story unfold, one has to be patient. A big chunk of the beginning is slice of life and "stalling", which some may find boring. I, personally, enjoyed it. Especially I enjoyed that in perspective, after reaching the ending. I'd say, give it 3-4 hours, and if you'd like the twist that is c…2 found this helpful
Fantastic game. Very complex story. Some nauseating horror, fun hijinks, engaging characters with it all coming together for a satisfying conclusion. Riri best girl. The patch still works btw, you just have to launch via the .exe, not the Steam launcher (which is why my hours are so low. it is much longer if you want the full story)1 found this helpful
Very underrated vn, it was so pleasant experience especially the touch of Norse mythology in this vn. I hope more people will play this. ( this count of hours is low, because i already played it, but not on steam.. )1 found this helpful
i am waiting for myth 2
Strange... Mysterious... Horriyfing... Comforting... and overall interesting. BUT! DONT BUY IT: -you will not get the original version on steam -steam cuts content due to wanting visual novels all-ages -check our vndb.org (visual novel database) to see where you can buy the original -this version is censored Dont make the same mistake as me by buying a visual novel on steam
