Ulysses: The Video Game

By

The game is currently in the development and crowdfunding stage, but it already looks pretty interesting, even psychedelic. Its title, In Ulysses: Proteus, comes from the chapter of the novel that it tackles. In it, Dedalus wanders across a desolate beach, closes his eyes, and ponders the shifting nature of reality and the disconnect between his inner self and the external world.

There are a thousand-and-one voices on each side. The naysayers are saying nay, and they would, of course they would, considering the last Dante adaptationDante’s Inferno, muscular Dante clad in shining, heroic armor. But the yaysayers are more optimistic about this video game rendition.
