Mythos, Book One

This is one of the best AVN's I've played. The who-done-it is well written and I'm proud that my 2nd shot at who did it was right (my incorrect 1st shot was a hunch that the least likely culprit had done it - not strongly supported by evidence). The naughty scenes were good, but the story really captured me. The posters for Bare Witness and Come Home in the background of the author's introduction were a welcome sight (if you liked Mythos, Book One, try those as well!). And I loved seeing Athena and Reba playing small roles, and spotting Heidi in the diner. It is cool how these games refer to each other, in a natural and unobtrusive way. I played through the game as female (though I'm male) and I found it refreshing. There are too many AVN's where the macho male gets all the girls by, well being a macho male. Thanks very much for this option, I wish more games allowed this! It was great how the girl-girl relations were 'natural'. For example, how the high school MC-Lisa relation was accepted by other students as a normal relation. I did not find any of the hidden items, though I did search for them in quite a few scenes. After finishing the game, I used a walk through to …

Mythos, Book One is an ambitious urban fantasy visual novel developed and published by Nine of Swords Studios that combines supernatural mystery, romance, humor, and mature themes into a surprisingly engaging narrative package. Set in a modern world where hidden magical forces operate beneath everyday society, the story begins with the death of the protagonist’s former girlfriend, Lisa Harrison. What starts as a personal investigation soon spirals into a dangerous journey involving vampires, fae, mages, secret organizations, and long-buried conspiracies. The game immediately distinguishes itself through its ability to blend detective fiction with fantasy elements, creating a narrative that consistently encourages players to uncover the truth behind a growing web of mysteries. The strongest aspect of Mythos, Book One is its storytelling. Rather than relying solely on its adult content, the game places significant emphasis on plot development and character interactions. The central mystery unfolds gradually, introducing new clues, suspects, and supernatural revelations at a steady pace. This measured progression keeps players invested while avoiding information overload. The narrati…

King of Swords, for a first game you did an awesome job. The story had my attention fully. The end was nuts but enjoyable and fun. Very good story writing. Looking forward to your next adventure.

Ok, so... This is the Dev's first, and only self release, at this moment in time. Collaboration with a few other different AVN releases though. The story so far is intriguing. But the artistry/graphics are pretty bad, as being 6.5hrs into it. There's a claim made by them at the beginning of the game that graphics will get better. Haven't seen it yet. Sure hope it gets better, because of right now it's bad. Mainly it's one of those AVNs where the character has a figure just standing there talking at the screen. Not a really of one screen interaction besides that. More looking 2D instead of 3D. Then there's the women. All of them are dog sh_t ugly. Worse than Horse-face ugly in makeup. Can't stand looking at them. I made the mistake of trying to just skip through everything. Then got lost as to where the story was going. So now I have to start over. I'm gonna keep on playing it, just to see if it does actually get better. Because of right now the women are so ugly. And the graphics are bad claymation looking CGI crap, when it does seldomly goes into 3D. And the MC doesn't look so great either. Another stupid broccoli cut hairdo, and a weird looking dangly. The other thing I noti…

Never got into this game. I may return to it later. Like other reviews, there is no romance in this game. I need to reclaim my disk space. This game got elected to be removed. Later.

really fun, blend of mystery, humor and engaging characters
