@WyattW43 it's because he looked back because he saw himself before he started his journey, looking back at your past. So they can never
escape since you can't escape the past.

*sniff* so sad... 5 Stars + fav.
That's one of the greates flash games I've ever played, and the reference to Orpheus only makes it better. Thank you for creating this game, Mr. TerryCavanagh! Thank you!

Ok. An hour thinking brought me to this conclusion. The whole thing was an illusion. He never went to the underworld, as it was his thoughts of this epic adventure to save his loved one. The whole dream ends when he realizes that he is still there. I think the reason that he also disappears with his loved one's soul is because in fact his soul died too from losing her. Sad if you really think about it.

Several games bring you back to the very beginning every time you fail.
This one does NOT and I MUST thank you for that... since I failed many times... ^__^;;;

Was beginning to internally complain about the gun being OP when suddenly I was dropped into the cave with the two bats and the snake. Currently still stuck there. Well played.

WoW, this guy need to work on his planning a bit before suddenly going on an epic quest. I mean what if he didn't accidentally find that that magic handgun with unlimited ammo.
How exactly were you planning to shoot the devil in the face with then, hmm...

♦ Remarkable. I absolutely adore Greek and Roman mythology, especially this myth. Twisted, and beautiful. The game itself was simple, yet difficult. And well, just don't look back.

Its a terrific game, it also shows how good graphics don't make the game, content does... This should be categorized with other games just like it, there are plenty of other games like this one to put in its own group. 5/5 fantastic game. Truly worthy of 5/5. Rate up if you believe so too.

Beautifully done. Games that make you think and aren’t mind numbingly boring are far and few, but this is definitely one of them.

I love this game.
My tips for beating the bosses: for the dog, go right up against the left 'electric fence'. It'll bounce off it and point away from you - shoot it. Stay right next to the fence and it'll do the same again - repeat. This only works twice though, as you'll see.
For Hades himself: shoot him in the head as you fall onto the platform. Then jump, jump again, and fire again. Blam - two hits before you even hit the floor

i dont understand the low rating , and yes i called 4 stars a low rating.
this game is beautifully planned, the soundtrack is enthralling , the use of Greek mythology is a great way to make you learn something (wow i sound like a teacher) and the 8-bit idea is genius !
I wish they made more of this style of game
*sigh*
5 stars

we rarely ever get a sad story and when we do it is not really sad.but this one is sad even if you hate it this story almost brings tears to your eyes.

Fillfire you are right...partialy
the history is there but just in half ...
Zene(from where i chose this name) actually revealed the other half of the history that was in Kelyan scrolls...

I think he died at the very start. I mean, look, he was mourning, fell down a long, long way, was in blackness, (Like a transaction to hell) and now he went to hell. Who gets me? That's what I think what happened. He couldn't take the hurt of the loss of his loved one. :'(

Based on the greek story of orpheus who
was a musician and fell in love with a wood nymph who
died. He went to the underworld to ask hades to give
her back. Hades said that if he played his music
while he walked out of the underworld, his love would follow
him. Hades also said that if he looked back, his
love would be lost forever. Long story short-
He looked back :(

That was... a very interesting game, I think it deserves to be categorized alongside "Company of Myself" and other philisophical games in terms of ability to make one think- I can see why it would be rated low, however, with multiple levels being infinitely challenging at times and in certain ways- THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU RATE, KIDS!
