3.6 Closed source Unlicensed 2008-05-04T15:00:30+00:00 Emily Short's Galatea puts Pygmalion's legendary statue front and center as the primary (indeed, the entire) focus of this non-traditional Interactive Fiction game. Galatea is an extremely interesting and complex character, and her responses change depending on her mood (which, in turn, change based on the questions you ask her). There is no real goal other than to explore the mind of a living statue, but it is a fascinating journey replete with human pathos, existentialism, and mythology. 73 132 false true Galatea 7 2000-01-01 0 galatea 2009-06-18T17:58:53+00:00 138 2008-05-04T15:00:30+00:00 132 170 false 8 2009-11-05T12:23:17+00:00 http://www.nickm.com/if/emshort/galatea.html 51 2008-05-04T15:02:49+00:00 800 Kb 132 171 false 11 2009-11-05T14:58:24+00:00 http://mirror.ifarchive.org/if-archive/art/if-artshow/year2000/galatea.z5 132 8 Browser 8 browser 132 1 Windows 1 windows 132 2 Mac OS X 2 mac-os-x 132 3 Linux 3 linux 2008-05-04T14:56:19+00:00 Emily Short is the pseudonym of an interactive fiction (IF) writer, perhaps best known for her debut game Galatea and her use of psychologically complex NPCs, or non-player game characters.
