Since it was announced in October of 2022, I’ve taken every opportunity to write about Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island for over two years — and here’s the best yet! The exploration friendship adventure game about friendship is set to launch on Nintendo Switch and Xbox in addition to PC, and an early December release date is set. In Canada right now, the temperatures are lowering and daylight hours shortening (hello, SAD!); a blast of warm, tropical sunshine could be exactly what the doctor ordered.

Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island is a non-linear adventure inspired by A Short Hike and the Ace Attorney games. Become a backpacker named Alex, stranded on a mysterious island’s shores. As she starts to explore Ambrosia Island, she quickly learns that she isn’t the only one there: eight Greek gods populate the island. More specifically, eight amnesiac gods that have no idea who they are. By forming bonds with the gods, Alex can help them restore their memories — and maybe even find her way home.

Get help tracking down the gods (including Ares, Athena, Hades, and Hermes) from the trusty Ambrosidex, though some may be difficult to meet. As Alex gets closer to the gods using a unique relationship mechanic, they become more willing to help her using their godly powers. The Ambrosidex also has a radar sign to search for lost godly treasures. When Alex returns them to their owners, their memories will begin returning. They will also explain some of the island’s history. Conversation topics are important because they can help Alex, but some may be too touchy to discuss unless you’ve build a good friendship with the god in question. Topics can be found by exploring the island, examining objects and locations, and chatting with everyone around.

Developer Polygon Treehouse has revealed a new trailer showcasing Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island’s gameplay.

“Mythwrecked is a game that’s close to our hearts,” said Alex Kanaris-Sotiriou, Creative Director and Lead Developer at Polygon Treehouse, in a press release. “It’s a game that we’ve worked hard to craft with care and consideration and put a lot of ourselves and the Röki DNA into. It’s super exciting to be finally welcoming folks to the shores of Ambrosia Island, and we hope you enjoy your stay.”

Developed by Polygon Treehouse and published by Whitethorn Games, Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island will be released for PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series, and Xbox One on December 5.
