She’s a princess beloved by ducks. He’s a notorious king of schemes. A romantic fragment from a 3000-year old EPIC, retold as an Otome visual novel… but with ducks somehow added to the mix.

Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Jul 30 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About

Princess Helen of Sparta is the most beautiful woman in the world, coveted by almost all the kings and princes of Greece.
Suitors from far and wide have flocked to their palace in hopes of winning her hand in marriage-
…But this isn’t about her.
Enter Penelope, Helen’s less popular cousin.
While staying at her uncle's palace, she encounters one of Helen's supposed suitors, the notorious 'trickster king', Odysseus.
However, this Spartan princess is also notorious in her own right...
... As the favorite daughter of Prince Icarius?
No, not that one.
I mean, as the notorious 'duck girl'.
This story is based on the Oath of Tyndareus, and a couple of other myths centering on Penelope and Odysseus.

I found this game on Itch.Io the first time I played it and absolutely enjoyed it. Playing the full version now is amazing. I really loved the true ending as well as the addition of lore. The quotes from Odysseus are hilarious and I love the detail of having Telemachus being able to talk to dolphins, a nice tie into him being saved by dolphins, as Penelope was saved by ducks. I would absolutely recommend this game to any fans of the Odyssey or Epic the Musical since this is an incredible game and a great spin on the story of Odysseus and Penelope. 10/10 would absolute recommend.
有成就 没中文 《奥德赛前传:一见钟情鸭》 斯巴达的海伦公主是世界上最美丽的女人,几乎令希腊所有的国王和王子都为之倾心。 来自天南海北的求婚者纷纷涌入王宫,期望能赢得她的芳心,与她成婚 —— …… 但这个故事的主角不是她。 登场的是佩内洛普,海伦不太受关注的表妹。 在叔父的宫殿小住期间,她遇到了海伦众多追求者中的一位,声名远扬的 “诡计多端之王” 奥德修斯。 不过,这位斯巴达公主本身也名声在外…… …… 是因为她是伊卡里俄斯王子最宠爱的女儿? 不,不是这个原因。 我是说,是因为她是出了名的 “鸭子女士”。 本故事基于廷达柔斯的誓言,以及其他几则围绕佩内洛普和奥德修斯展开的神话创作而成。 35000 + 字篇幅 满是 “鸭” 字双关语(谐音梗) 1 位恋爱对象 2 个美好结局 2 个友谊结局 海量鸭叫声(大量 “嘎嘎” 声效 ) 10 余张可收集的 CG(电脑绘图 ) 可解锁的背景故事 / trivia(奇闻轶事、小知识 ) 部分语音配音 有鸭子!

to be honest, this is the best game I've played in the past few years, considering that I learned about Odysseus from the musical, and it was very nice for me to see a hint of the musical in the achievements. Anta, thank you very much, I hope in the future they will add more illustrations and make Tyndareus and Odysseus' "Friends", Penelope's father and much more.
Ottimo gioco
[h2]Pre-Odyssey: Love at First Quack[/h2] the story of Penelope and Odysseus is so well known that I was wondering if I should buy this VN or not. I liked the previous VN of Anta and I wanted to support them hopefully they’ll make more VN. I read many VN and I found Anta’s VN easy to read, if English isn’t your first language you’ll have no trouble to understand the story. I’m glad I bought Pre-Odyssey: Love at first Quack it ended up being a modern story of Penelope and Odysseus mixed with ducks xD! Funny enough my mum has 3 pet Ducks so it was fun for me to read this VN ! I loved it! I wish the last art of Penelope and Odysseus kissing in ending 2 True End “The Meaning of Our Names” was part of the art gallery in Bonus it’s my favourite! Thanks for reading, have a lovely Quack day !
bello, ho dovuto scaricare steam ma va beh...
I had played this game back in its NaNoRenO version and enjoyed it quite a bit! Seeing the improvements, from the new art to the beautiful voice acting was delightful! I hope more people play it!
Una fantastica visual novel otome assolutamente coinvolgente per divertimento e romanticismo. I due personaggi principali nelle numerose scelte vi conquisteranno. Eh si, anche le papere vi conquisteranno! Davvero un gran gioco che consiglio a tutti gli appassionati del genere. Sbloccare tutto non è affatto facile, ma risulta piacevolissima da rigiocare. Un'altro centro di NeoClassic Game! Aggiorno la recensione, questa visual novel otome saprà conquistarvi: QUACK!
I totally love the idea, hahaha I'm a simple person with ancient greece as my rabbit hole and a heart for ducks. I wish we could meet, would be so fun to talk with you! Thanks for the cute game, I enjoyed it. <3
Good food for Epic the Musical fan
