Whitethorn Games :
Welcome to the beautiful, sun-drenched Ambrosia Island, home to the gods of Greek myths and legends, whose gorgeous shores you can explore in the upcoming friend-em-up 3D narrative adventure Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island! Today, we at Whitethorn Games, along with BAFTA Award nominees, Polygon Treehouse, are here to provide you with a guide of things you absolutely cannot miss during your time there.
While the beautiful Mediterranean weather makes this the perfect getaway spot for simply relaxing on the beach, watching the waves rolling across the shore, and taking a break from life's pressures, there is so much more to do — you simply won’t want to miss any of it! Here are our top picks that will keep your vacation fun and exciting!
Meet the Colorful and Mystical Locals
Like the colorful vegetation and stunning waters of Ambrosia Island, the Greek gods that inhabit the island come in all shapes, colors, and sizes. While they may be shy and confused at first, the more you interact with and help them throughout your stay, the stronger your friendships will grow! We also hear that Ambrosia fruit, which can be found on the bushes littered throughout the island, is a favorite gift, so don’t forget to stock up! And tell Poseidon we said “Hi!”
Serve the Gods
While you are there, why not help the locals out? While life is relaxing on the island, everyone could use a hand now and then, and the gods are known for their generous rewards! By assisting them and growing your relationships, they will be happy to lend their godly powers to help you along the way — from providing insight into hidden treasures, helping you get to the hottest spots at magical speeds, and much more!
Treasures Galore
It would not be an island without a bit of treasure hunting! Lucky for you, Ambrosia is filled with long-forgotten treasures waiting to be uncovered with your handy dandy Ambrosidex! Visit Ora, the island’s statue oracle, to get your Ambrosidex, which will provide you with the tools you will need to find even the most hidden secrets. Pay close attention to its radar signal as you explore because there is more to this mystical island than meets the eye!
Live on the Wild Side
On Ambrosia Island, you will come across a variety of wildlife, most notably our adorable and food-loving seagulls. And yes, you can feed the seagulls. Pay a visit to Hermes (he’s usually at the docks, hanging out by his old rusty sea-plane), and he’ll be able to share some of their favorite treats with you to put a smile on their beaks.
A Musical Paradise
Nothing pairs better with a relaxing view than a calming soundtrack. Scattered throughout Ambrosia Island are mix tapes for you to find. Pop them into your cassette player, which can be found at one of the many lounging spots throughout the island, kick back, and enjoy the calming jams while relaxing on the beach or taking in the island’s breathtaking sights.
Admire the Beauty of Ambrosia
The beauty of Ambrosia’s lush vegetation and clear blue waters are unlike anything you’ll see anywhere else. When you tire of walking along its sandy shores — which are just as stunning at sunset as they are at sunrise — we highly recommend exploring its historic ruins, towering waterfall, and variety of sightseeing locations. Don’t forget to bring sunscreen!
About Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island
Mythwrecked invites you to take on the role of backpacker Alex, who has found herself stranded on the gorgeous shores of Ambrosia Island. As she begins to explore her surroundings, she discovers that she is not alone – the gods of Greek myth and legend populate the island! However, something is amiss – the gods are unable to remember who they are. In order to find her way home, she must befriend the inhabitants and help them to restore their memories.
Explore the dynamic island in this non-linear adventure and unravel its story to discover its celestial guests and build friendships with the gods through a unique relationship mechanic. The closer you become, the more they are willing to help Alex with their godly powers. Solve the mystery of Ambrosia Island, save the gods, and help Alex find a way back home!
Key Features include:
Gods Among Us: Many Gods call Ambrosia Island home, from Ares to Athena, Hermes to Hades. Tracking them all down is made easier with the Ambrosidex, though some may be harder to meet than others.
Treasure in the Sandbox: Use the radar signal on the Ambrosidex to hunt for lost godly treasures hidden all over the island! Return them to their rightful owners to help rekindle their memories and learn more about the island’s fate.
Conversational Wizard: Explore the island, examine new objects and locations, and talk to others to unlock new conversation topics. Maybe some Gods know something that will help Alex on her adventure, but some sensitive topics may be off-limits until you have earned their friendship.
Greek Legend: Experience a non-linear, emotional story about the importance of friendship, family, and community.
Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island will launch on PC via Steam and consoles in the summer of 2024.
