Gorgo

Gorgo is a narrative-driven game set in the aftermath of Thermopylae, placing players into the political fallout of Ancient Greece and offering a tight, character-focused story about power and betrayal. You take the role of Ephialtes, the controversial Athenian whose hidden actions touch the fate of King Leonidas and intersect with Gorgo, Leonidas' widow, as she demands a seat on the Greek war council.
