No, not Hamlet the play. Hamlet the text-adventure.
Here’s how my younger son describes it:
It’s a text game, like Nord & Bert, but with less wordplay and more sarcasm. You (as Hamlet) wander around trying to collect what you need to kill everyone off (including yourself). Other Shakespeare tragedies intrude — you have to get past Othello, you encounter Richard III and Macbeth, and you wheedle something out of Juliet. There’s an allusion to Midsummer Night’s Dream, too.
It’s full of sarcasm and innuendo. I had fun for a while.
My elder son said only, “I beat it in about an hour.” There’s pragmatism for you.
