Mitchell’s work feels relevant across generations, largely because it draws on classic Greek myths like those of Orpheus, Eurydice, Hades, and Persephone. The story, developed with director Rachel Chavkin (known for her Broadway work), is set in the American South during the 1930s. It explores universal themes—love, sacrifice, hardship, addiction, and loyalty—and contrasts the painful realities of life with the possibility of a better future.

Fans are eagerly awaiting big RPGs like The Elder Scrolls 6 and the next fantasy game from FromSoftware, but these titles take years to develop. In the meantime, independent RPGs have been stepping up to offer immersive experiences.
