Tragedy of Medusa is an adult visual novel by deepglugs, built in Ren'Py with 3DCG visuals. You play a female protagonist who is one of three goddess sisters leaving their island for Athens while gods, demons, and succubi fight a war around them. Survival becomes the aim, because the Olympian faction wants to destroy them. The story blends fantasy conflict with sad adult themes.
Version v1.0.4, released on November 9, 2023, is the current build and is uncensored. It runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android, with English text. Development continues, since the creator refers to a final part of the trilogy. The latest changelog entry adds a song for the Ceto visit scene; earlier updates added achievement support, three achievements, a completion menu animation, and extra dialog and renders for Medusa scenes.

Thanks everyone here for your kind words and encouragement. Thanks also for giving this strange adult visual novel a try. It's a weird combination of sexy and sad. Couple that with the female-protagonist genre and almost everyone is chased away
. Hope to see you all in the final part of the trilogy: Athena's Revenge.

This was fun to play so far, still relatively early so not too much to say but i guess we can talk about whats there. The renders are decent, some characters may look a little weird some time, but others…

In all honesty, some people might be put off by the sex scene. However, I absolutely LOVE this game. The character development is well done, and the depth of all of them, all with their own personalities, struggles, and backstories…
