    About Persephone : Tale of Demeter

    Persephone is an original game in which you use your death as a mean to progress. You will go down multiple puzzle levels, each briging new ideas of game play and difficulty.

    Persephone : Tale of Demeter is the complete version of the game Persephone, and is a turn based 2D isometric puzzle game that explores the next possibility : What if death in video games is not the end, but the key to solve the levels? Where, how and when will you choose to die in order to progress?

    What makes my game unique?

    Death in video games means generally game over, we created a beautiful game who use death as the main game play and change the mind set of the player. We believe that with this simple trick we changed the way to see a puzzle game and did a unique and high-quality game. Also the creation of it was kind of unique as we worked nights and weekends without any funds to do it, in one year and half.

    Why could my game win an award?

    This unique game play, balanced with intuitive learning, beautiful and cute art direction and the fact that anyone anywhere can play it because of the absence of any text, makes our game worth of recognition in the pool of great and unique indie games.
