A downloadable game

In the depths of madness there is a power beyond fear... beyond love... beyond hate... and only YOU can conquer it...!

I'm making a game for the Atari 2600! The story will include three components.

Read the comic! Play the game! Hear the drama!

I'm chronicling the making of Telemachus in a video series on YouTube. You can also watch the videos in the DevLog entries below.

Hi, thx for asking! Slowly, while I work on other games (like Mutatis). But ultimately this will benefit Telemachus as I continue to learn more programming techniques.
