✦   Chapter One of the Olympus Chronicles   ✦

You are Elizabeth Anise. You are 32, you live in Boston, and today was supposed to be your day off.

Then your estranged mother texted you three words, and now you're on a plane to Greece with a bag you packed in thirty minutes flat.

Dr. Annabelle Anise is a scholar of ancient civilizations who has spent the last several years chasing a theory that her colleagues stopped taking seriously a long time ago. You haven't spoken to her in fifteen years. You don't know exactly what she found at the foot of Mount Olympus, or why she needs you specifically, or why the north face trail has been cordoned off with caution tape that nobody seems to want to explain.

You go anyway, because she asked, and because some part of you has always wanted to know what she was looking for.


This is Chapter One of the Olympus Chronicles.


About the Game

Heart of Olympus is a handcrafted interactive fiction game about estrangement, mythology, and the particular vertigo of discovering that someone you thought you knew was right about everything. It begins in a quiet Boston apartment on a Saturday morning and goes somewhere else entirely.

Every location has been written by hand, and every item, every conversation, and every detail of every room reflects a world that changes around you as you go deeper. So does Elizabeth.

How It Works

Heart of Olympus is not a traditional text parser. You navigate and interact through contextual hint chips. Choices that appear, disappear, and evolve as the story unfolds. No commands to memorize. Just the story, and what you decide to do with it.

Your progress is saved automatically.
