Pre-Odyssey: Love at First Quack

She’s a princess beloved by ducks. He’s a notorious king of schemes. A romantic fragment from a 3000-year old EPIC, retold as an Otome visual novel… but with ducks somehow added to the mix.

About the Game

Princess Helen of Sparta is the most beautiful woman in the world, coveted by almost all the kings and princes of Greece.


Suitors from far and wide have flocked to their palace in hopes of winning her hand in marriage-

…But this isn’t about her.

Enter Penelope, Helen’s less popular cousin.

While staying at her uncle's palace, she encounters one of Helen's supposed suitors, the notorious 'trickster king', Odysseus.

However, this Spartan princess is also notorious in her own right...

... As the favorite daughter of Prince Icarius?

No, not that one.

I mean, as the notorious 'duck girl'.

This story is based on the Oath of Tyndareus, and a couple of other myths centering on Penelope and Odysseus.
