About the game
Imagine a world where Ancient Greece isn't quite what the history books describe. In Aeon Trespass: Odyssey, a reality-shattering cataclysm wiped out the Olympian gods and unleashed the Primordials—colossal, otherworldly monsters that now dominate the land. You and your friends step into the shoes of the Argonauts, the last line of defense for humanity. The goal? Reclaim the world, but you'll need far more than just courage to succeed.

This is an epic cooperative journey played over multiple sessions. You command the ship Argo and its crew, exploring mysterious lands, forging political alliances, and managing your base of operations. It's not just about smashing monsters; it's about strategy. You'll build new facilities, craft high-end equipment, and invest in tech trees to gain a critical edge both in and out of combat.

The real highlight is the scale. You don't just fight soldiers; you tame, arm, and evolve Titans, riding them into brutal battles against the fearsome Primordials. Combat is tactical and punishing, driven by a sophisticated AI system that makes every fight a deadly puzzle. Outside of battle, the game functions like a strategic RPG: your decisions are tracked via choice matrices, and a choice made now can drastically alter the course of the campaign several sessions later.

Be prepared for a dense experience. Victory is hard-won, and there are many ways to fail—from the death of your Argonauts to the destruction of your ship or the villains completing their plot. It's a game of heavy choices, where resource management and crew evolution are the only things standing between glory and total extinction.
