Gorgonia: A Gorgon's Tragedy
Gorgonia: A Gorgon's Tragedy is an RPG Maker horror game that reimagines the Gorgons’ origin story, offering a fresh perspective on the ancient myth. Step into the role of Medyuu, a beautiful lamia with unsettling secrets. Her sisters seem to glimpse something different in her—a haunting gaze that pulls her into a path of strange encounters and eerie discoveries.
Will Medyuu find peace or despair? Embark on this journey to discover the true depths of her story!
Gorgonia is also a spin-off of Sirensia, a story-driven horror RPG featuring Medyuu (The protagonist of this game). Initially planned as part of Sirensia, it evolved into a standalone experience, surprisingly releasing before Sirensia itself (laughs)!

THAT WAS SO SAD WHYYYYYYY T_T this was sooo tragic and sooo well made, what an amazing game.
(SPOILERS)
i really loved the plot and how it progresses; starting with relative normalcy, going deeper into uneasiness and then end up full on horrifying was a great choice, and it made me both both super intrigued and super dreading of what would come next. the characters and dialogue were really strong and conveyed the characters' feelings really well. since this is based on the medusa myth, and myths don't tend to focus character's thoughts, it was really cool to get an understanding of these people and their motivations, if that makes sense? medyuu was a super endearing character, and i love the relationship between her and her sisters; even if they don't have too many scenes together, it's made very clear they care for each other and understand each other really well (love the moment where one tries to make medyuu promise something, and she doesn't even have to finish the sentence for medyuu to know what she means). the atmosphere in the village was great; definitely made me feel as uncomfortable as the main character. and the forest and hydros parts? incredibly dark and twisted, i can't get those sequences out of my head (if hydros was real i'd kick him in the groin so fucking)... medyuu's curse and the hunter showing her sisters' heads were both heart wrenching to see, and finally that last conversation with sirensia (i'm guessing she's sirensia lol) was a much needed spark of hope amongst all the dispair. overall, the plot and characters were incredibly memorable, and made me SUPER intrigued in knowing what happens next.
daybloom project try not making the best looking rpg maker games ever challenge (impossible). seriously, i'm always ASTONISHED at how insanely good your games look, and at how differently they all manage to look from one another, and this was no exception. the great sprites, the cute style for the busts and the detailed style for the cutscenes... the way medyuu's sprite moves side to side when she runs, the way circles appear for when lightning strikes in the chase sequence... the entire forest part with its repeating paths and its glitched screens and its dark & red twisted sprites (seriously that part was SOOO friggin' good)... the sketchy style and disturbing angles for the goddess... the way the hunter appears briefly at the start of the game when you go to buy groceries??? that was so cool omg. there was sooo much love and attention put into every part of this game's presentation, and i can't help but respect the hell out of it :D
if i had to critisize anything, the chase sequence at the end was somewhat frustrating, since i didn't know where to go and got caught a bunch of times. that wouldn't be too bad on its own but the fact that you can't save (or at least it didn't work when i tried) after the previous conversation with the hunter, meant that i had to repeat that cutscene every time i died, which was pretty frustrating. i think just having a save menu before the chase would've made it a lot more bearable. (again, i don't know if you can save in the actual chase, but it didn't work when i tried to so i assumed you can't)
this was an absolutely fantastic game!! and a really creative and intriguing interpretation of the medusa myth. i can't wait to see more of this super original world :>
Very good game
Very cool game. Like the twist at the end. Looking forward to seeing the game with Siren.
There is such helplessness when facing the gods. Made me uncomfortable with how 'vulnerable' Medyuu was, starting from the very beginning in the village with how the men acted. Her sister's even saying so.
Thank you so much! Happy to see you love story!
This is such a powerful interpretation of the myth. Often times, myths just put the god's crimes as a sort of satire, not really taking them seriously but this does. I really liked the mention of Arachne. Reminds of Ovid's version, where Arachne was punished simply because Athena felt like it, despite Arachne's weaving being better. The music and the leaf animations were my favorite part. This is the first game of yours I've played and I look forward to trying the rest!
Thanks so much for the feedback! We wanted to show things from Medusa's perspective and highlight how dangerous gods and goddesses can be. Really glad to hear you liked it!
Wow! So good! I loved the atmosphere. The rain, the leaves, it's very pretty!
Also, cant believe the language in the description was just Thai. I legit thought it was a specific font/language for the game cuz the letters just looked so much like snakes
I barely read the description, so I saw something about Sirensia and got excited to play it upon reaching the ending, only to discover it's not ready yet ;-;
Hello! Thank you so much for feedback! We're very happy about this!
Also yeah, Can you tell me what Thai part description you means? Is it show in-game? Or you means "หมายเหตุ" paragraph?
Yeah yeah yeah, the "หมายเหตุ" paragraph. Looks like snakes! Such cool letters!
