Calliope

Author:Jason McIntosh
Genre:Slice of life
Released:1999
Review:

Tiny self-referential game--you're trying to write your competition entry, but you're out of ideas. There's really not much there--the game has one puzzle, relatively straightforward--though what's there works reasonably well, and there's a modicum of creativity involved.

Rating: ***
