Hosted Games has a new game for you to play!
Descend to the Underworld and live among myths as the deity of spring!
Fields of Asphodel is 33% off until September 12th!
Fields of Asphodel is a 1.3 million-word interactive novel by JJ Laurier. It’s entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
Forced into an arranged marriage with the God of the Dead, only you can decide what to make of your new life. Befriend misfit deities, repel giant attacks, find the culprit behind the river goddess’s mysterious illness, and use your powers to nudge Fate in your favor! Decide what kind of deity you want to be—whether you’ll answer prayers, how you’ll develop your powers, and what role you’ll take in governance.
- Play as male, female, or nonbinary; gay, straight, bi, asexual, or poly.
- Play as neurodivergent or neurotypical.
- Take on the powers of spring and life.
- Find love and friendship among the gods of the ancient Greek Underworld.
- Develop your abilities and hobbies, and choose the kind of life you want to live.
- Grow a garden in the Underworld.
- Defend the realm, advise the King, and solve a mystery.
- Make a new home, or seize the opportunity to return to your old one.
Can you bring light to the darkest of realms?
