A Collection of Resources for Ambrosia Software's Cythera

Welcome!

This site is about Cythera, the classic Mac RPG that was written by Glenn Andreas and published by Ambrosia Software in 1999. There are many great resources related to the game, so in addition to the pages you'll find here, I encourage you to check out some of these other ones:

• Cythera Discussion - Where players frequently talk about the game, create their own stories, and more
• Cythera Guides Forum - This is a new forum which also archives all of the original Cythera Web Board and Chronicles content. Join the Discord to request an account as registration is currently disabled.
• Static Archives: Web Board and Chronicles - Pallas' backup of the once-primary platform for Cythera discussion, as it was seen prior to Ambrosia shutting down
• Cythera Discord (or if you prefer legacy protocols, #cythera over IRC)


• Cythera Guides - Walkthroughs, analyses, references, and all other sorts of information for the game
• Slayer's Guide to Cythera (Mirror) - This quintessential guide not only provides all the information players need to finish missions and complete the game but also includes some useful reference material
• Cythera Guides - This site, a home for pages detailing various elements of the game


• Cythera Legacy - While related to Cythera, there are a number of resources more connected to the legacy of Cythera than the game itself
• Delvmod and its Wiki - Bryce's Python program for reading, disassembling, and editing Delver archives like the Cythera Data file
• Let's Play Cythera! - Full video playthroughs of the game by Selax and BreadWorldMercy, plus speedruns by Buzzy and Wizard
• Cythera: 20th Anniversary Soundtrack (Stream via YouTube) - A new collection of Cythera music made possible by delvmod
• Cythera's 20th Anniversary Livestream - We did a livestream on Twitch, reminiscing and talking about the game; creator Glenn Andreas stopped by on the chat!
