Heroes of Myth from Abigail C. Trevor is one of my very favorite text adventures, so when I heard her new game had a demo I jumped right on it. Turns out it's really good!
The premise here is great: you're a legendary knight of your kingdom, whose storied deeds are sung high from the mountaintops, that dies unceremoniously in the first 5 minutes of the game. Centuries later, you're brought back to life as a ghost, unsure of your purpose and the changed world around you. Should you return to your service of the crown as a spectral chevalier? Or perhaps there's a new path for you to float down?
There's courtly intrigue, draconic diplomacy, and a wizard diving expedition to the deep sea floor. There's heady commentary on how the history of the past is rewritten to serve the needs of the present, and a classic Hammer horror scene where you grow yourself a new body from the dusty fragments of your bones. Best of all, the demo ends with a twist so good you don't even mind you saw it coming!
Devoured the whole thing in one sitting, absolutely cannot wait for the full release come September.
