What’s It All About, JG? Well, it’s the sequel to Hades, isn’t it? You play as Melinoië, a princess of the Underworld and sister to the original game’s Zagreus. Chronos, the Titan of Time, has taken over the House of Hades and imprisoned Melinoë’s family, so she’s on a mission to kill Chronos and restore her family. She’s been mentored by Hecate, who’s kept her hidden at a secret location called the Crossroads, while Melinoë has spent her life training to defeat Chronos. The game is, as with the first Hades, a roguelike, so with each run, Melinoë gains knowledge, skills, and resources which help take her closer to her goal.
