Ithaca is a new narrative RPG from The Pixel Hunt studio, known for the acclaimed game Bury Me, My Love. The game follows Penelope, an environmental lawyer who has lost faith in the institutions and legal mechanisms that are supposed to hold major polluters accountable. After joining the Earth Protection Association, she heads towards a mysterious destination known as Ithaca, but the journey takes an unusual turn when she finds an oil executive in the trunk of her car, with no explanation of how he got there.
A large part of the game will take place during drives through procedurally generated landscapes, featuring conversations with various fully synchronized characters and making decisions that shape the story. Players will uncover clues, build relationships, and gradually decide how far Penelope is willing to go in the fight for her ideals. Creative director Florent Maurin emphasizes that Ithaca does not attempt to provide players with ready-made answers, but rather explores feelings of helplessness, disconnection, and the ways in which they can turn into denial, exhaustion, radicalization, or a desire to take control of the future.
Ithaca is currently planned for release in 2027 on PC via Steam.
