Pre-Odyssey: Love at First Quack

[h2]Pre-Odyssey: Love at First Quack[/h2] the story of Penelope and Odysseus is so well known that I was wondering if I should buy this VN or not. I liked the previous VN of Anta and I wanted to support them hopefully they’ll make more VN. I read many VN and I found Anta’s VN easy to read, if English isn’t your first language you’ll have no trouble to understand the story. I’m glad I bought Pre-Odyssey: Love at first Quack it ended up being a modern story of Penelope and Odysseus mixed with ducks xD! Funny enough my mum has 3 pet Ducks so it was fun for me to read this VN ! I loved it! I wish the last art of Penelope and Odysseus kissing in ending 2 True End “The Meaning of Our Names” was part of the art gallery in Bonus it’s my favourite! Thanks for reading, have a lovely Quack day !

A fairly weird but pretty sweet and amusing game. I don't think it [i]always[/i] stuck the landing with its humour but it did a good job for the most part. It's pretty short - I was able to 100% the whole thing in 3.1 hours. The lore unlocks were a nice touch.

This game is short and sweet. I liked how well it balanced humor with actual sweet and tense moments. Plus the characterization of both Penelope and Odysseus was amazing. It was a good take on both of these characters and I like imagining how the rest of their lives would turn out after this. If you enjoy mythology and the Odyssey in particular I think you'd like this game.

odypen invented romance btw

Reading this as part of the Fall in Love VN Festival 2026 ✔️ Tested on Steam Deck, it works fine (08/09/2026). 'A' button to advance text and touchscreen/buttons for menu and choices. The cloud save feature didn't work for me at all. I really liked how cute this visual novel looks! The artstyle is super charming with that kind of watercolor effect and the whole thing has a really nice visual identity. The story and routes were also really fun with the cute duck noises every now and then (must protect Penelope...). There's a glossary to check the original references for the characters which is a pretty interesting addition for those not familiar with the old myths. Also, shoutout to the OpenDyslexic-like font, I always appreciate when games put a bit of thought into accessibility. The UI is also really nice and fits the theme really nicely instead of feeling like something slapped on top of the game. Really well put-together visual novel. 🪶 More visual novel reviews & ramblings → [url=https://liljatherobin.blogspot.com/]Lilja the Robin[/url]

Funny but a little too strange for me.
