read from right to left! (also i know theres a typo but i dont have the original file anymore to fix it :’’)

One of the best (and saddest) parts of Zagreus’ story in Hades is his Sisyphean quest to get answers from people — to get anyone in his family to fucking communicate clearly — all while simply trying to escape to freedom/a world where he is not stuck down below the surface. It’s incredible how this part of the game’s mechanic is so emotionally resonant, because even when he does succeed, what little joy he achieves is so fleeting and he’s sent back to where he started from and has to do it all over again.

And yeah this could get repetitive and boring, and we could see Zagreus change and grow “harder” and “tougher” by everything he’s been through, but he remains kind and polite through everything is such a nice touch that is then supported by all these side quests that allow players to also get invested in the denizens of the underworld and help them achieve their own happy endings.

We all remember this moment right

i love early game patroclus he is just so done with zag

pet a dog /// pet a frog

Asterius taking care of the tiny one 🥺💕

I feel like I finally have a complete set now.

I love me some bubbly/broody combos!

As much as I want Zagreus to be a bossfight in Hades 2 I think it would be so much funnier if his dad gets locked up and all of a sudden he’s in charge and it is not going well

I’m so excited, you have no idea

I think my favorite aspect of the Hades II announcement is the idea that, somewhere in the underworld, a very thunderstruck Zagreus is demanding, "What do you MEAN, I have a sister?!"

Your turn sister 🤝🏽
