A Supernatural Murder Mystery Comedy!

Mythos is an adult visual novel game set in a fictitious version of our world. You follow the story of the main character – which you may choose to be male or female – as they learn of the mysterious death of their ex-girlfriend. Soon, the main character finds themself fumbling through the hidden society of supernatural beings that lurk in plain sight. Some of them are very much like the legends suggest, while others couldn’t be further from what one would expect.

Will our hero piece together the puzzle behind the murder of Lisa Harrison, or will they be consumed by new attention they’ve brought upon themselves?

Mythos will feature multiple choices to solve the mystery, and relationship paths that can be monogamous, harem-based, or even celibate (if that’s the kind of kinky thing you’re in to).

2023-12-24: Chapter 5.0.1 Hotfix

There's a bug in chapter 5.0.0 where if you make a particular choice (kissing Lisa) your character name will be reset to default (Kylie or Kyle depending on your gender).

If you use the default name, anyway, this won't affect you. If keeping your custom name is important, use this hotfixed version.

The hazard flashers doing that when it rains could point to a wire short somewhere in the car and when the wire that has the short in it gets wet it gets a connection to the metal around it and causes the hazards to come on. If you can find where the wire has a short or the wire is frayed or worn through at and have it replaced or patched it should fix the problem. Unless there's multiple places where there's frayed wires at.

I actually edited the script file and changed the text color for the investigation mode so that the text was always a bright color and stood out from the rest of the text.

I don't even know where the wires are... my knowledge of cars is ridiculously lacking. I saw that one solution was to find the electrical relays and spray WD40 on them, but... I have no idea what the relays are, what they look like, or where to find them, and I couldn't find that information easily online. T_T

Not abandoned from what I'm seeing. It looks like no one updated the date of the thread nor the version aside from the title. Thank you, though, saying something helps us to look into it and keep everything up to date as best as we can.

Weekly Update – June 22nd, 2023​

You must be registered to see attachments

So I’ve been working on finishing up “For Here or To Go?”, which is the second most complex scene in this update. I may actually have this finished by the end of the night, but I don’t wanna say I’ve completed something when I haven’t — that’s the most surefire way to jinx it! After that scene is rendered, all the others should be much faster. For some reason, the scenes in the diner just take longer to render than most other places (only Gaia’s Cradle has given me longer render times). I may need to have T’s Diner demolished between games and have a different asset in Book Two…
This week has presented some personal life challenges to me, so the update is going up a day early. The first is an issue that comes up twice a year for me: Inventory. With my work doing inventory, I will be unavailable all day tomorrow. My weekends being so busy lately has also contributed to less work than I’d like to get done. In fact, this weekend I’m going to Baltimore’s Pride celebration, so I’ll once again have a lot of real life going on around me.
Besides that, we’ve had to deal with my kitty’s diabetes woes. Yesterday he got his glucose monitoring implant, but he was (once again) being a little bitch at the vet so they had to sedate him. It took him a long time to come out of it, which resulted in us staying home last night just to watch over him. He was stumbling around and drooling a lot which, while funny, was also worrying. But the good news is that now we can check his glucose levels just by me swiping my phone against him!

Chapter Four Scenes Completed:

• It’s Always Sunny in Baltimore
• Born in a Barn
• Law and Mordor

Chapter Four Scenes to be Rendered:

• For Here or To Go? (90% Done!)
• High School Never Ends
• It’s LeviOsa, Not LeviosA!
• Fairy Tail
• Things That Go Bump in the Night (In Progress)

Other Things:

• Version 3.11 Streamable (On Hold)
• Music Track Revamping (Complete!)
• Reshooting Some Side Images (Complete!)
• New Side Images (Jodi and Tara) (Complete!)
• Chapter Four Achievements (2/2)
  • Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That (Tara Render)
  • Glutton for Punishment (B Render)
• Friends trying to get me into Diablo IV…
• … still kinda want Street Fighter VI, though…
• … not that I have time for either.

Keep the Legends Alive!

Kind of weird if people would respond with insults on you pointing out what you see. But then again, I have seen worse from others. If you're worried about backlashes, just report the main game thread and Moderators will look into it. There are definitely quite a few good games out there. Hope you enjoy, mate.

Hello, Mythies!!!

I’ll get right into it – all the renders, writing, and coding are done. I just gotta do my alpha testing, and then the final beta (I hope) will be going out to the testers. Then to you all.

Normally what I’d say is that I’m going to finish my alpha testing this weekend… unfortunately, it’s December. We have holiday shopping and two holiday events to attend this weekend. Boo. There will be no Mythos work done. However, I took off all of next week from my mortal job so that I could get this update finished for y’all. I know my beta testers still have their jobs and stuff, but I don’t think there’s gonna be a whole lot to correct in this final beta so… well, you know how I am about giving release estimates, so I’m not gonna do it. I’ll just say it should be released soon (with Patreon/Subscribestar members getting it sooner, and $10+ Patreon/Subscribestar members getting it soonerer).

Grammerly did not like the word “soonerer”.

There’s some other stuff on the horizon, too! Shortly after Chapter Five is out, there’s going to be a lot of audience interaction as we look past Book One and into Book Two and just what it’s going to be. We can start some of that discussion now, though; you can start commenting on stuff you’d like to see in Book Two. Things you don’t want to see in Book Two. The only thing set in stone for Book Two right now is that it will have the same main character (Kylie/Kyle) and take place after Book One (but not necessarily immediately after). Talk about this stuff on the Discord, in the comments, on Twitter/Bluesky, or in whatever adult gaming forum you see me posting in. Just make sure I can see it.

Also after Chapter Five, maybe about a month out, will be “Ask the Cast” and “Ask the Dev”! I know y’all love those, and being as they’ll be the final “Ask” sessions before the finale, I hope you have some good questions in mind.

Something I’m contemplating, since Chapter Six is going to be a big and likely lengthy development process; round two of the Character Interviews. Jessica Lee could come back and interview all the suspects with a new perspective now that so much has been revealed over the last five chapters. Some of that stuff will likely come out naturally in “Ask the Cast”, but this could be my way of throwing out some answers to questions people hadn’t thought to ask.

That’s all I got for now. I’m dreading this weekend. I’m pretty sure I mention it every year, but I’ll do it again: I hate Christmas… or at least all the stress it brings.

Keep the legends alive!
