How It Begins

The game opens "3,500 years ago" with a dialog between Circe, High Priestess of the Isle of Aeaea and another priestess. After they discuss the ongoing political events in the Mediterranean and a mention is of her niece Ariadne being overlooked for succession due to her unruly behaviour, the scene ends. The player then starts the game as said Ariadne, as she wakes up in a hut in the countryside after a night of revelry with some local boys.

She needs to find her clothes and some breakfast.

Plot and Mythology

According to the ABOUT GAME text, the game is based on a historical interpretation of the myths of Circe, Ariadne, King Minos and the Minotaur.

The game takes place in the mythical isle of Aeaea, where Circe leads a cult with widespread influence in neighbouring kingdoms. Ariadne must impress her by unraveling a political conspiracy.
