This is a short adaptation of a cursory glance at the myth of Phaeton, the son oh Helios who nearly destroyed the world, and the hypothetical planet that the myth was probably referring to. In this game, take on the role of the often overlooked Pluto who must do everything to prevent being hurtled into the sun (and avoid being smashed to bits by asteroids).

========Controls========

Controls are explained in the game, but generally: WASD or Arrow keys to move (strafe controls) W and D or up and down can also be used to scroll conversations. Mouse to look around and pivot on a planet if you're orbiting it. Click advances some screens, but is mostly for launching off a planet you're orbiting. Escape quits out of the game.
