BIBDU, old Gaeilge for "Guilty"
In Bibdu you play a godly member of the Tuatha Dé Danann, banished from the otherworld (Síde) alongside your grumpy hound, and follow legends and myths around the map of Ireland to find a way back home and reclaim your immortality. Before it's too late...

The hazelnut brings wisdom in folklore. This is how the salmon of knowledge came to be. When Boann ran away to a well, disobeying her husband, she found it swirling with 7 hazelnuts and magical salmon swimming in it. She walked around it seven times and summoned the River Boyne from within #indiedev

An Dobharchú! Half dog half Otter, when attacked they call out for their mate. They drag their human prey into lakes and rivers to drown them. Identified by white fur, a cross on it's back and black tipped ears.
Still working on its game design but getting there!

The Merrow
Singing a beautiful song, she enticing sailors towards the sea. She is part human part fish with green hair and a magical cap. She is captivatingly beautiful unlike her male counterpart, a man grotesque and monstrous - perhaps this is why she searches for a human man. 🧜♀️

Irish Mythtober Day 2: An Dagda
The Dagda, or 'The Great God' is a chief of the Tuatha Dé Danann. He is a good of plenty, harvest and fertility. His staff gives life from one end and takes it with the other!

Irish Mythtober Day 1: Púca
The Púca is a mischievous shapeshifting creature. If you've ever eaten a blackberry after Samhain that tasted funny, it's because it was spat on by the Púca!
I've painted some Púca for the game and hidden them among a photo of the Rock of Dunamase!
