About

It is true I drank a lot yesterday, but I am pretty sure becoming a chess piece is not a usual side effect of being hungover.

In this game you must help Scylla, a nymph transformed into a moving chess piece by the enchantress Circe, to gather the articles needed for a potion to turn back into a human, all the while escaping from Medusa’s stony stare that can make Scylla become a pawn for good.

Story “The invitation said 8 o’clock  And the night away we did talk  But in the morning... What a shock!  Becoming a chess piece, soon a rock  So I’ll escape now, cannot gawk!

Work was well, until one fateful day Circe got rejected by the target of her affections. Finding out the man loved another, the enchantress decided to turn her rival into a chess piece, and so a dinner invitation was sent...
