"Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island is a lighthearted game with a stand-out art style and a modern twist on Greek mythology... It’s clear the developers made Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island to be an accessible game for all types of players!"

We love to see it! 🫶

We're so excited to share Botany Manor won the Accessibility Award at the #GamesForChange awards!

The team put a lot of work into accessibility features, colour-blind legibility for clues and designing the game to be gentle to the player. As a small studio, it means a lot to see it recognised 😊💚
