#virgil — Public Fediverse posts

#SteamNextFest is over, but I found two demos yesterday I really liked and wanted to shout out, starting with the beautiful #HellMaiden. Just watch this video. #AstralShift's games have this incredible hand-drawn animation style, and seeing #Virgil, #Ovid, and Dante as anime girls is strange and charming.

Questa montagna è tale,
Che sempre al cominciar di sotto è grave,
E quanto uom più va su e men fa male.
– DANTE: Il Purgatorio

Purgatorio, IV. 88–90: ‘This mountain is so formed that it is always wearisome when one begins the ascent, but becomes easier the higher one climbs.'

Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) - Illustration by Gustave Dore (1832-1883))
