Casina: A Visual Novel set in Ancient Greece

About

Casina reimagines an ancient Roman comedy as a lighthearted visual novel. You play as Lisidamus, a man torn between family duty and romantic chaos in 4th century BCE Athens. The story unfolds through witty dialogue and branching choices that influence relationships with eccentric characters. A mix of farcical misunderstandings and romantic entanglements drives the narrative forward. The game brings ancient theatrical humor to life with exaggerated characters and slapstick scenarios. Its hand-drawn art style and playful tone make it a refreshing take on historical storytelling. While short on gameplay depth, the brisk script and period setting offer a charming experience for fans of classic comedy. Released in 2021, it retains the irreverent spirit of its 184 BC source material through modern presentation.
