Off-Site Reviews

Emily Short's Interactive Storytelling
"A good-natured spoof of Greek mythology with cameos from Achilles, Sappho, Daedalus, the Minotaur, and assorted other crowd favorites"

Astrobolism
"This is a 'large and sparse' parser game set in a parodic world of antiquity, where you meet such things as a 'bicyclops', which is much scarier than a regular cyclops because it has two eyes."

Narrativium
"Overall, The Xylophoniad is well worth playing. It doesn't break any new barriers and is definitely old-school, but with the cruel, sadistic edge of the old-school taken out."
