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.

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 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
[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 !
Fantastico Otome che presenta grosse influenze classiche (in questo caso la storia che precede l'odissea) Un altro titolo NeoClassic Games che centra il punto nel mondo dei dating sim che ormai è sovraffollato da prodotti di scarsa qualità Consigliato sia agli amanti del genere che ai neofiti
Really fun and I laughed a lot! It has duck-related puns!!! I love both Penelope and Odysseus, they're just so cute. Penelope is a great MC and I must say her character development is done well. Odysseus is a lil menace, but I adore him still! He's a bit of a [spoiler] boyfailure 😂 but he doesn't push his feelings on Penelope. He's a green flag fr [/spoiler] I also learned a lot about Ancient Greek and The Odyssey thanks to the Lore drops! Learning through otome games 💯✨ My only complaint is that I can't pick a favorite duck. They're all great wingmen (quite literally) 😖
The game is short and cute, perfect to unwind after a long day <3
Funny but a little too strange for me.
This is game is one of the best otome games I ever played! right now is propably my favorite! also is such a cute Odyssey retelling! if you like epic the musical or just has a weird the odyssey hyper focus (like me) you definetely is going to love it!!!!
A short otome that scratches that itch for lost musings of fragmented Greek epics and myths. The writing was engaging and active; music and sound design were inviting and stimulating. The foot race was especially riveting, and the schemes of Odysseus was hidden from the player until revealed in satisfying climax.
If you are a Greek mythology nerd or a fan of ducks, you are going to love Pre-Odyssey: Love at First Quack—a comedic and cute retelling of the romance between Penelope and Odysseus. I love the dynamic between the two, their interactions feel natural and reminds me of falling in love for the first time. Penelope has the quirk of being able to communicate with ducks, which comes in handy when she’s in a pinch. The game is full of duck puns, fun trivia, and CGs to unlock. (We also get to see Odysseus shirtless! *insert anime wow sound effect here* You know how those ancient Greek games were~) There’s a lot offered in this short game, so please give it a try! The skipping option, walkthrough and back buttons were all helpful features too. I enjoyed the story and its branches thoroughly.
[h1]简介[/h1] 《Pre-Odyssey: Love at First Quack》是一款题材有点特殊的乙女游戏,还有一些西方古代神话的设定,CG的动画中人物会有眨眼的效果,使得角色表情异常生动,加上背景色彩鲜活,一个梦幻的神话中才会有的世界出现在玩家面前。 [h1]剧情背景[/h1] 游戏的剧情故事轻松诙谐,还有希腊神话故事的小彩蛋,有些甚至是相当冷门的神话故事,而本作正是讲的奥德修斯与佩涅洛珀的恋爱故事,虽然在神话故事中并未有这对恋人的故事,但制作组能发挥脑洞,详细的描写出他们的恋爱过程。在改编的同时也能保留其背景故事所寓意的含义,不会使得游戏的整体故事太过沉重严肃,节奏把控极佳,让人沉浸在故事当中。 [h1]音配效果[/h1] 游戏的配乐片段虽然不多,轻快悠扬的旋律,点缀浪漫的时刻,为了游戏增加甜甜的恋爱的感觉。而且虽然只有不多的几个人的配音,但这的确大大提升了游戏的体验感觉,而且虽然是神话故事的背景,但对话里充满现代的气息,那些不符合时代的对话内容和恰达好处的玩笑透着一点小小的俏皮。 [h1]总结[/h1] 总的来说,作为一款小品级的乙女游戏,其神话色彩,浪漫的音乐,以及那些略带戏剧的对白和桥段让玩家耳目一新。整体游玩下来轻松写意,非常适合那些想体验一下小体量的乙女游戏,本作可以说是非常适合,还附带神话小故事,这款游戏可以说是相当的合适。 [quote]欢迎关注我们的鉴赏家:[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35402982/]走心评测[/url] ←遵从内心,写出真实感受 欢迎加入我们Steam组:[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/ZXPC]走心评测[/url]←点击加入,一起探索游戏的乐趣 喜欢这篇评论,也麻烦点个赞,让更多人能够看到![/quote]
