Those ancient Greeks sure knew how to tell stories. And while it seems unbelievable today that people actually believed in stories of a woman with a head of snakes for hair or a water monster with multiple heads (although most of today’s religious crowd would be worshiping the Greek gods had they been born at the time), you’ve still got to admit that their mythology has certainly survived the test of time.
So much so, in fact, that an all new VR video game about the myth of the Minotaur and the Labyrinth from Italian studio Forge Reply. You play as Theseus (sadly not Tom Hardy this time) as you traverse the labyrinthine structure leading up to the inevitable battle with the bull-headed monster.
You can enjoy both a standard and interactive trailer for Theseus below.
