About
You're so much prettier when you smile. And here is something that I know will make you smile: the opening chapter of an idiot's odyssey! Play as Maximillian Wurst, a grandiloquent poetaster who is in pursuit of the resistant, fiesty Fialova (and by "fiesty" I mean "understandably outraged"). Fialova cannot stand Max for the simple reason that he is, as the Spanish would say, a douchebag. Does that deter Max? Only you can decide! It's all up to you! But actually, no.

The Delusions of Maximillian Wurst constitutes about 20-30 minutes of gameplay. The game so far is free, and I would love to hear your feedback!
