POLYPHEMUS
POLYPHEMUS
This is a little stealth game based on the most famous passage of Homer's Odyssey: the adventure in the island of the Cyclops. The aesthetic is inspired by the console games of the late 1970s and the early 1980s. Your objective is to steal 50 sheep before the one-eyed giants destroy your ship.
Be smart, be sly, be fast... be greek!!
