It’s unsurprising thatHadesis up for theGame of the Year 2020awards that’s happening this Friday hosted by Geoff Keighley. Even though it has stiff competition with the likes ofThe Last of Us Part 2,Animal Crossing: New Horizons, andGhost of Tsushimabiting at its heels,Hadesis simply gorgeous and stands tall with its interesting storylines, stunning voice-overs and unique character representation. Due to its popularity this year, the love forHadeshas seeped out of the gaming world and slipped inside the world of literature as a local bookstore shows off recommended books for those who are fans of the game.
Twitter user deejayhas posted about how they got into the festive swing of things by decorating their bookstore table and decided to splash around some books relating to Greek mythology with also a sign above the table that recommends it to those that enjoy playingHades.As many players ofHadeswill know, the game is loaded with Greek Mythology references and stories so with some clever thinking, deejay thought that the sign was a great way to lure in gaming customers. You can check out the image yourself below but the eight books on display are in some way related to the game itself and especially great for those who would love to read in a greater depth all the things they’ve experienced inside the world of the game.
Deejay states that they almost putPercy Jacksonin with the pile of books but, unfortunately, they didn’t fit on the small table. The Twitter users postcaught the attentionofHade’s devs at SuperGiant who thought the whole idea was awesome and what an excellent selection of books that they put on show. It’s a fantastic idea and I love that gamers are at the forefront of a bookstore display which gives encouragement to players who want to know more about the game they’re about to play or have just played. Maybe the display will also entice non-gamers to pick upHadesand give it a go for the very first time, too.
