Anthesteria

Anthesteria is a third-person, couch co-op fantasy platformer where you, together with a friend, join forces and assume the roles of Demeter and Persephone, two powerful Greek goddesses on a mission to bring spring to the world.

In Greek mythology, Demeter is the goddess of agriculture, governing over the cycles of summer and winter. When the gods took her daughter, Persephone, to the underworld, Demeter struck a bargain: Persephone would spend half the year below, but for the other half, she would return to Demeter. However, during Persephone's absence, the earth would wither and die in Demeter’s mourning. Yet, upon Persephone's return, Demeter resurrects the world, bringing forth the warmth and abundance of spring. Together, they confront winter's chill, bringing forth spring's renewal through their combined powers. In order to play the game, you must connect and use two gamepads.
