I HAVE MADE A SMALL LIST OF OUTFITS THAT WOULD ACT LIKE KEEPSAKES IF YOU INCREASE A RELATIONSHIP ENOUGH

oh OH DO WE WANNA GO?

the dialogue that would result from this...

the absolutely beeeee-aUTIFUL art the supergiant team could conjure...

I HAVE MADE A SMALL LIST OF OUTFITS THAT WOULD ACT LIKE KEEPSAKES IF YOU INCREASE A RELATIONSHIP ENOUGH

Hypnos: "Weighted Blanket Cape" : reduces movement but causes less damage in the back

Cerberus: "Spiked Belt" (It was a collar but the dread prince's neck is too small for it) : close proximity to enemies while dashing will cause slashing damage

Charon: "Stygian Hat of Shades... hah" : Larger hitbox but thrown projectiles from above give less damage.

"Oh hello boss! It seems like my private associate has given you quite Ithe accessory. I'd say keep it in tip top shape, or I might have to deliver that with more than just a heartfelt sorry."

Orpheus: "Merry Minstrel" (... it's a clown outfit): Makes you more prone to traps... cartoon physics but! ✨cartoon physics✨ aka. enemies who fall out of the bounds will be able to levitate before falling to their doom

Dionysus: "Party Rockers in the House TONIGHT(?)" (A silk croptop that is cut completely open in the back with a gold chain keeping it all together... business in the front, party in the back): More damage when attacked from behind... but increases movement and better chances at dodging whilst dashing.

Poseidon: "Hot Girl Summer(?)... wait what's summer?" (A combination of bright hawaiian shirt with a speedo): Better at dodging, more damage to Zagreus if exposed to lava

Aphrodite: "Look Like a Girl, Think Like a Guy" (A combination of a cloud covering his body or booty shorts that read "my eternal punishment on the back): Takes more damage but makes higher chances of good boons. Also (shoutout to my friend), idle animations have the cloud around his parts. If you're idle for too long, it disappears and shows off the shorts or he does the "birth of venus" pose

Asterius: honestly did not think of one but... I can feel Theseus getting shocked and going

"You- you sly BLACKARD, how dare you rob my dear Asterius of his noble garb. What monstrous intentions does a dread wretch like you have with wearing it?"

"Um- style?"

Hermes: "Shoes with Wings? Now that IS Awesome!": Added faster dash movement and has Charon make a comment along the lines of "Huhngghhh~" in a loving way

Sisyphus: "Bould-ed to the Ground": Reduces movement... but in a flow state allows you to make close enemy dashes with extra damage.

... Bouldy: "... I got a rock": a random amount of rocks you can use to distract enemies.

Every Hades encounter with a new accessory starts off with a variation of:

"What does my son pick up on his misadventures? Do you wish to hold onto keepsakes that you will inevitably lose in the blood?"

"*angry huff* "they. are. called. TRINKETS. FATHER. AND I WILL CHOKE THE LIFE OUT OF YOU WITH GRANDMA'S SWEATER" (Zagreus' sprite appears with a HIGH-turtle neck with a large cute pattern of people dying of the cold and starving)

I think Hades would be the best game of all time if there was a dress-up feature.

In this essay I will explain how dressing up Zagreus in stupid armor/ Nyx's dresses would be benef-
