To Be Or Not To Be

I was hesitant to pick this up. How interesting could a Hamlet CYOA be? The answer is f'n hilarious. Its really well written with great art, totally makes fun of the modern pretention surrounding Shakespeare and all the chars in the play. Even of youre not interested in Shakespeare (like me) the gamebook is still worth getting. If you ever wanted the ghost of hamlets dad to revenge himself by becoming corporeal inside Claudius and exploding him, nows your chance!

This is the most hilarious game ever. It is even surprisingly clean...well, for Shakespeare. Get ready for a lot of twists and turns

Strongly recommended that you read/watch the original version (Kenneth Branagh's film version is long, but easily accessible) before playing. However, there are tons of inside references to the original works, and the comedic timing of the adventure-choosing (as vast as it is) is spot-on and razor sharp. A must buy for high-school/college students that have studied Hamlet in the past!

It's on the shorter side. The humor is also an acquired taste.

Absolutely hilarious

Great

This game is wonderful for us book lovers and anyone who enjoys we comics like Hark! A Vagrant. The downside is that in order to unlock all the different outcomes, you have to go through so many routes that it can be repetitive. An in game map of all the endings would be nice, as I had to look one up online because I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong to unlock different achievements. Still, it's a great game that shows the writer has a great love and grasp of the subject

It's bloody hilarious. The book is snarky as hell. The illustrations are done by fantastic webcomic artists (and are all properly credited with links in the gallery!). The branch points are silly as heck and are great fun to explore. My only small gripe is that it's not that easy to scroll back at certain points, but minor complaint. Also, the game takes full advantage of the digital medium to include achievements, music, and other neat extras. It 's a great buy whether you're a gamebook novice or veteran looking for a ROFLMAO inducing read.

I loved this game. Thought about getting it on steam ever since it came out, but kept deciding not to. I'm glad I bought it for my phone. It is the greatest way to kill time or just read something ridiculous and hilarious!

One of the most played games in my mobile library. There isn't a moment when I'm not smiling while playing. from the writing to the artwork, this is more than worth the purchase. I'm constantly pestering friends to buy it, haha.

I love Ryan North and just about every other artist/writer associated with this work. I have never awaited a collaboration so much!

Simply amazing. The graphics (when shown) were clearly made with excellent care from the creators.

This book is pretty good, but it needs landscape mode like the other books from this developer have. Other than that, it's just what I'd expect from Tin Man Games!

This is awesome!!!!! Everything about it is quality. And its funny to boot. I'm sure if you actually had read hamlit. You would love this even more. Alas, I never have. But I still love it.

Hilarious, literate, and surprising. The art is fantastic too.

Had to uninstall tinder to get enough space on my phone for this. Best decision ever, more adventures and better dialogue options.

Kept me entertained for some time. You can start over and get a different story so its playback value is great.

A real treat!

This is Hamlet as it should have been written (if only Shakespeare had been a better writer and also enthusiastic about "choose your own adventure" books).

If you can read... you'll love this

Mediocre

Great

Boring and repetitive.

Waste of money completely disappointed

Not so engaging. The xp points makes absolutely no sense

Nice design and idea, but the game itself I found boring, bordering on tedious. Based on the reviews I expected to love it. In fact I uninstalled it within the hour.

A fun and engaging game, with achievements and cool Shakesperian music. It's Shakespeare- but better and funnier!

Barely anything new happens

plenty of space on my device and i ended up walking through all the google play troubleshooting steps without effect. (force stopped google play, cleared the cache, restarted my tablet etc etc etc.) ended up having to ask for a refund, but would love to be able to play this one day.

This is the funniest tragic gamebook EVER.

If you loved the book, or if you wanted to read it but books don't do it for you, this game has it! All the pages are broken into digestible pieces ('paragraphs') and you get to touch the screen to see new ones. Then, when there is a path to be chosen, I forgot to mention there's a Shakespearean piano type melody playing. You can turn that off in "options" if you want but I like it so anyway, you can CHOOSE the path you want! I'm almost out of space for reviewing.

Hilarious
