You are a HERO, and you are DEAD.
Fortunately, your place in Elysium is not lost.
Hope exists even in this DARK REALM.
SCOUR this desolate plain. PAY Charon’s fee. FIND eternal rest.
Charon’s Obols is a one-page, rules-lite Greek mythology-inspired multiplayer RPG. Play as Heroes lost in the The Underworld! Explore strange locations, battle creatures, and entreat the gods, hoping to find obols – coins – to pay Charon, the ferryman, for passage to sweet Elysium.
