Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island is a friend-making adventure game where you help the Greek gods remember their past and unravel a mysterious curse. As you explore the tropical island, you encounter rare treasures and interact with the gods, helping to restore them to their glory. It balances a calming, nonviolent adventure with deep themes of friendship and community to create a unique and varied play experience.

You play Alex, a novice backpacker who ends up stranded on the mysterious Ambrosia Island after a shipwreck, only to discover the Greek gods, alive and well - but with no memory of their past glory and heroism. You work to return lost treasures to their rightful owners, exploring the varied landscape and completing environmental puzzles. As you interact with the gods and learn their stories, you revive the community and vanquish the curse that banished them to the island.

You explore the lush 3D world, similarly to A Short Hike, using a strange device to find puzzles that reward key items that restore the gods' memories upon completion. Some of the puzzles can only be completed at a certain times of day, as they rely on changes in the environment to solve. As you progress you meet Hermes, Aphrodite and Zeus, and help solve their troubles by completing missions.

The result is a game that offers a unique blend of relaxed, peaceful exploration and narrative storytelling that highlights the value of family and friends, making for an unusual and introspective, yet still fun, engaging, and amusing game.
