The 2009 flash game Don't Look Back turned the Eurydice and Orpheus myth and the abstract aesthetics of early '80s console games into a resonant evocation of all romantic loss.
After the couple are happily married, Eurydice is killed when she spurns the affections of Aristaeus. Preoccupied by trying to get away from this hero of bee-keeping, she stumbles onto a viper which bites her out of fear. She dies on the spot. His grief acknowledged by muses and gods alike, devastated Orpheus descends into the Greek underworld—hopeful he can outsmart Hades and bring back his beloved.is a 2009 Flash game interpretation of this myth.
in 2009, in the computer lab of my tiny high school full of fellow maladjusted rich kids on the Emory campus. Back then, I spent a lot of time playing flash games and reading. Most school days were me, alone, huddled in a corner and half-doing work. Being an oblique, misanthropic weirdo with niche interests was a cornerstone of my constructed identity, you see.
Being with her was the last time I felt safe for years. From a distance, we tried and failed to keep the connection. I fixated on the safety and comfort I felt around her—the acceptance of self absent elsewhere in my life—and she told me we were “kindred spirits.” Destined for each other, maybe. For a decade, I wallowed in physically and sexually abusive relationships because part of me hoped it was true.
It was six months into my transition I realized nobody was. I stopped looking back. Guided only by the memory of how Cat made me feel, how she was my one solace when my parents were falling apart for a few years, I pushed forward. Three years later, I’m almost three years deep into my first long-term, rape-free relationship. Cat taught me how to feel safe and loved. Because of her, I know the way I feel right now is worth protecting and working on myself to preserve.
