#MythicMonday ⚔️🌊
Today I’m designing the Poseidon/Atlantis level for Gaia.

I recently released a psychological horror visual novel!
Gavriil and Yeva, strangers who met by chance on the same train, in the same cabin, and when their train derails in the middle of nowhere- they're suddenly forced to work together to survive.

Mondays can feel like Sisyphus pushing his boulder - work calls, Azure tasks, game dev hurdles. But here’s the trick: every push makes us stronger. 💪
I treat Monday as a gift from the gods - another chance to build, create, and grow.
