Inspiration
Homer's "The Oddyssey" is one of the most celebrated pieces of ancient Greek literature, detailing the journey of Odysseus as he attempts to return home following the events of the Trojan War. One of his most notable confrontations is with Polyphemus, a giant Cyclops who trapped Odysseus and the Greeks in his large cave on the Land of the Cyclopes. Odysseus knew he could not defeat Polyphemus by strength, instead he outsmarted the great beast through a trick! He gave the Cyclops strong wine and, when asked his name, Odysseus told Polyphemus his name was Nobody. When the Greeks attacked Polyphemus in his sleep, the Cyclops cried out "Nobody is killing me!" and the neighboring Cyclopes left him alone leaving Odysseus to escape the cave with his men successfully.
Our group got to thinking "what if we turned this epic confrontation into a group-based party game?", and so we bring to you the game of "Nobody". A Jackbox-style, multiplayer stealth party game where one player in the party is Polyphemus, the Cyclops, and everyone else is Odysseus' crew, named 'Nobody', working to escape the monstruous, cyclops' lair!
