Game Description

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.
