Eurydice
Don't look back.
Or so the story goes, but sometimes it's not up to you. Play as Eurydice, known only as the wife of Orpheus, as he tries to win you back from the Underworld again...and again...and again. Repeat your journey to the Overworld over and over in a time loop and finally find a way out once and for all.
Tips & Tricks
- For the best experience, play in fullscreen!
- There is a true ending. If you're stuck, try going through as many variations as possible :P
About This Game
I wrote this circa 2021 and rediscovered it again this year (2024) and decided to post it! The game is based on a Tumblr post from a user with a now NSFW username which is how these things usually go, so click if you're comfortable with that.

Now tell my why you managed to combine all the things I love (loops, the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice, interactive fiction, bittered female protag, TRAGEDY) all into one coherent work. Everything I could have ever wanted from a story of this matter as it allows me to have my angst and chew on my true endings too.
would that i could cut my heart out and give it to you for dinner i would, so that you could consume it whole and let me be a part of you. let's just say if i needed to not turn back to bring you from wherever you dwell to wherever i dwell, i would turn back and face you with love and doom us both to an eternity in the shade
