This could have been a really good game. But I suspect that the limitations of programming in The Quill have resulted in a lot of the detail of the original myth not being covered. Read Review

A fairly basic Quilled adventure. It won't take you ten years to finish but you'll get your money's worth. Read Review

Will provide a reasonable challenge for the experienced adventurer, if you can tolerate the finicky vocabulary. But if you're a novice: stay clear! Read Review
