About this Raddle

Today's Raddle is by Nathan Curtis. Nathan writes, "Hades II is an action roguelike from Supergiant Games. In Hades II, you play as Melinoë, daughter of Hades and Persephone, who is attempting to slay Chronos, the Titan of Time. In addition to the roguelike mechanic, Hades II features a wide variety of gods and mortals from Greek mythology, including a number of deep cuts. They take some liberties with the myths, but I mostly don't mind. Mostly."

Nathan Curtis is a puzzle constructor living in the Boston area. He mostly writes variety crosswords and cryptic crosswords, which he publishes on Patreon. He has also written or edited a wide range of puzzle hunts, including Verwald's Treasures, and an upcoming large-scale puzzle hunt (codename Project Ra) that is planned for 2026 or 2027. When not writing or solving puzzles, Nathan's other activities include teaching mathematics, playing the bass trombone, and coddling the best cat ever (her name is Freyja).
