** REVIEWS **

"Literally slapped my thigh" funny. "Spat water all over my iPad" funny. "Woke my girlfriend in the middle of the night" funny. Riotously, unrelentingly, brilliantly funny. - Pocket Gamer - 9/10 - Gold Award!

"Yes, it’s Shakespeare and yes, it’s easily my favorite gamebook that Tin Man has ever done." - Pocket Tactics - 5/5 stars

"...an idea that is, by most conventional literary standards, terrible, but pushed so far past terrible that it wraps around like a comet slingshotting around the sun and comes back as utterly brilliant." - Time

"To Be Or Not To Be truly is one of the most purely-entertaining experiences of the year, because Ryan North manages to both live up to my expectations with his take on this literary classic, and also manage to go to places that I just did not expect." - Touch Arcade - 5/5 stars

Great story telling! The artwork is great! There are many side adventures, murders, and ghosts to follow. Ryan North is brilliant!!!

Don’t buy this. This app has a good concept, but the stories are too short and a little too inconsequential even for light comedy. It’s very expensive for what it is and doesn’t even seem to be maintained anymore as there are obvious bugs as you play (floating white squares at the end, for one). Most of the comedy is derived from using modern English in the mouths of Shakespearean characters, which can only retain its novelty for so long. If you just cant get enough of a supposedly Shakespearean narrative voice constantly calling everything “awesome” and “rad” and ending sentences? With question marks? then you will like this. For everyone else, this is vastly overpriced. The art is good though. If this app were somewhere in the dollar range, I’d be satisfied with it. As it stands, I wish I could get a refund. I played through a number of scenarios with multiple endings for each character — and still only got about 20 minutes of gameplay. My advice: just play Astrologaster instead. It’s better in literally every way: it’s funnier, has better stories, better music, and better art.
