Odyssey: The Search for Ulysses (PC) | HF ULD RS | 530 MB
Genre: Adventure

You'd be hard-pressed to find a better source of material for an adventure game than stories in Greek mythology. Powerful gods, bizarre monsters, exotic lands, gripping tales of famous heroes--what more could a game developer want for inspiration? And of all the famous Greek myths, probably none manage to cram in as much action and intrigue as Homer's The Odyssey, the epic poem that chronicles the numerous trials that Ulysses must overcome as he seeks to return home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. Odyssey: The Search for Ulysses has an interesting perspective on these events. While its puzzles aren't very complicated and while it has some technical problems, it still proves to be an enjoyable adventure because of its story and its characters.

As the name implies, Odyssey: The Search for Ulysses doesn't focus on the perilous journey of the scheming hero. You instead play as Heriseus, an inhabitant of Ulysses' homeland, who doesn't seem to be prime hero material: He killed an innocent man while he was drunk on Ithacan wine, which led to his banishment by Ulysses. During his exile, the Trojan War erupted, and as the 10-year-long conflict raged, Heriseus met and married a woman named Alimir. But Heriseus is truly a hard-luck guy--both Alimir and the couple's unborn daughter die from disease. When Heriseus finally makes his way back to Ithaca, he's approached by Ulysses' wife, Penelope. Hounded by suitors who insist Ulysses must be dead by now and that she should remarry, Penelope gives Heriseus the seemingly impossible task of tracking down Ulysses and bringing him back before the situation becomes critical.
