The following is the first in a series of interviews of the Mythos cast, giving you an idea of the personalities and motivations of the characters in the world. Think of these as a sort of "behind the scenes" glimpse into Mythos, where the characters can talk about their role in the game. Without further ado, I'll pass this along to Jessica Lee!
Jessica Lee: Good evening! I'm Jessica Lee, and here with me are the main characters from the upcoming game Mythos. Or... rather... I guess only one of you is the main character? How does this work? Ky: Thanks, Jessica. So at the very start of the game, the player chooses which of us they want to play through the game as - male or female. Then they can choose my first name and my nickname - if they go with the default, no matter my gender, my nickname will be "Ky". JL: Did you both... just speak at once...? Ky: No, just me. JL: (Clearly unnerved) Alright... so what can you tell our viewers at home about yourself? Ky: Honestly, my life is pretty boring at the start of the game. I'm working as an IT rep for a local insurance company, just kinda muddling my way through life, when I find out my ex-girlfriend died. JL: That's Lisa Harrison, right? Ky: Yeah, Lisa. She was great, and we parted on... I guess good terms? But it's not like we really stayed friends after that. We sorta drifted apart. I found out about her death when I stumbled upon a friend's post on social media. JL: Social media? Do you mean Tw Ky: Just social media. Nine doesn't want the Muskrat to sue. JL: Right, right. So you discover Lisa's passing - what next? Ky: Well, it's a weird feeling, you know? Even though we hadn't talked in years, she was still a pretty big part of my life, y'know? Plus, Lisa was healthy. Like even without keeping in direct touch, I saw she still was a dancer in her off-time and just kept in good shape. I wanted to know how she died, but it's really uncomfortable to just like... ask someone out of the blue "hey, I know we haven't talked in a while, but... how did Lisa die?" So with all that, I decided to go to her funeral to see if maybe I could learn about what I'd missed in the last few years of her life. JL: I see. Now it says here that this string of events has you "find yourself fumbling through the hidden society of supernatural beings that lurk in plain sight" Can you elaborate on how that comes to pass? Ky: Haha, well obviously I can't give away too much, or I'll spoil the game. But let's say that, starting with the funeral and some chance encounters I run into right after it, I start digging into what could have caused Lisa's death, because like... nobody actually seems to know. She's just dead. Before long, I somehow find myself being an investigator, and sticking my nose into places I probably shouldn't. JL: So you sorta play detective? Ky: Well, yeah! The stuff that the crew and I start to uncover are things you really can't go to the cops with. Supernatural stuff. JL: Sounds spooky! Are there going to be horror elements involved? Ky: Believe it or not, no! It's a game about a murder with supernatural terrors all about, but it's really just a mystery-comedy. Like if you've ever seen films like "Murder by Death," "Clue," or "Knives Out," you're probably on the right track. It's like that, but with sorcerers and s***. JL: Whoa! Hahah... language, Ky! Ky: Oops, f***, I'm sorry! AH! S***, I did it again. JL: Well! That's all the time we have for today, folks. Join us next time when we have an interview with Tara Norwood! Ky: Oh, god, you'd better have a drink beforehand. That bi(Microphone cuts off) JL: Thanks for watching! I'm Jessica Lee with Nine of Swords Studios. Until next time, keep the legends alive!
