Where your mood takes you, across time
The Odyssey is not only a story about getting home. It is a map of what people need when they move through the world.
Follow the route as a journey of moods: the need to leave, the need to be welcomed, the need to resist, the need to remember, the need to return to yourself.
The Mood Journey
Every journey asks a question before it reaches a destination.
In the Odyssey, each island, coast, cave and palace carries a different need: safety, freedom, memory, pleasure, courage, recognition, home.
Move through the stops one by one, or enter through the mood that feels closest to you.

I need to leave the old story behind.
Ismarus
I need a clean break, but I may stay too long.
The Lotus-Eaters
I want to stop thinking for a while.

I need to feel brave again.
Aeolus
I need the people around me to move with me, not against me.

I am pulled in too many directions.

There may be no perfect option.
