Mythmatch (videogame)

Mythmatch is a narrative merge game about finding your people and building community beneath the oppressive demands of the Olympians. It juxtaposes cozy village building with high-intensity minigames to tell a story about power and coming to terms with privilege.  The game follows Artemis as she navigates a society where mortals struggle under the weight of divine influence and in doing so it reinterprets Greek mythology, transforming it into a deeply human narrative about finding belonging and pushing back against oppressive systems.

Folk games often reflect communal storytelling and shared cultural memory. Mythmatch embraces this by reshaping well-known myths to highlight contemporary struggles with privilege and power. By allowing players to build a diverse, self-sustaining community in the face of systemic challenges, the game captures the spirit of folk storytelling: collective resilience, adaptation, and the power of reinterpreting the past to make sense of the present.

Moo Yu, the creative director at Team Artichoke, will be doing a microtalk on Friday evening meetup. Tickets are available here
