Not only is Hades an incredible game but the music speaks to us deeply in our souls. It's amazing to me that the Lament of Orpheus has been written time and time again for thousands of years. Wether it's Gluck and Orphée or Berlioz, Offenbach, or @supergiantgames. The tragic story of Orpheus and Euridice lives on. Why does it speak to us as much as it does? Why have we never been able to shake this tragic tale?
