Feb. 2025
Very well-written and engaging time loop game. Takes the story and characters from Hamlet (plus a few other plays) and lets you get to know, and change the fates of all of them based on your actions. Fast forward mechanics ease the repetitiveness that is inherent in these kinds of games. There was lots to explore and it was fun to see all the trajectories the story could take.

A fun game with awesome writing. If you are into time loop games with a bit of exploration and reading-between-the-lines then this is for you. I found it a little confusing to wrap my head around the little hints the game gave in order to move forward but once I got the hang of it I found it really cool and fun. Do note it's a lot of dialogue and reading and lots of it are mostly lore and flavor. I did get a few bugs but nothing game breaking or annoying. If you like the idea of this exploration of Shakespearean themes using Shakespeare's story as a template to tell even more stories, then this is definitely a highly recommend. Also, the soundtrack and the visuals are really nice! especially the character portraits and the story scenes.

One of the best-written games ever made - there are some annoying mechanics but it is so worth it to get to the great and tragic stories in here.

I genuinely and whole-heartedly loved this game. It's a Hamlet time-loop from Ophelia's point of view, and it's freakin' fascinating. You (almost*) always feel like you're making progress, the story is mind-boggling in its complexity, and the narrative it tells ends up presenting some genuinely interesting, bittersweet dilemmas. The additional characters are great, and the game does a fantastic job of incorporating a diversity of races, genders, and sexualities responsibly and without breaking immersion. Don't expect, y'know, the smoothest of 2020s graphics or anything -- it's mostly text-based, characters occasionally teleport, and I once conversed with a character who forgot[?] that Hamlet had already died in that loop. But if you like narratively-driven games, this one's criminally underrated. * (I did turn to the internet for help a few times once I had unlocked a few endings. Most everything felt super fair, though; the game's well-clued, I'm just impatient.)
