2020-06-20	fo*****	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.

2020-05-23	Wr*****	Hi! I love this game; I have it on my PC and I was delighted to find it as an app on my phone. I’ve noticed a few bugs, though. 1. When I’m trying to look through the art gallery, when I then ask it to go back to the story, it leaves me on the same page. 2. The artwork that shows for King Hamlet resuming his reign as a ghost with Gertrude is instead the same artwork you get for choosing to be upset about Gertrude marrying your brother and burying yourself in rock and digging a hole from Denmark to England. 3. The spotlights that are supposed to show on the Hamlet-o-meter are solid white squares.

2019-02-15	sh*****	I’m stuck in a loop in the menu. I want to go back to the story but every time I click that, it takes me to the extras! Meh, I haven’t gone too far into the story, I can try to reset it I don’t want to get stuck again.

2018-03-22	2G*****	Played game for about two minutes, now useless. I bought the app yesterday. After a single event I chose to visit the “art gallery” and turn the sound on. these actions are meant to always be available and you can return back to your place. But no matter how often I select “back to the story,” I keep being sent to the art gallery. I have tried choosing other menu items, quitting and relaunching, nothing works. Sent feedback with repro steps to developer using their web form, received my cc but no contact yet. Will update if they resolve.

2018-01-21	ia*****	Very buggy. I went to change narration off and cannot get out of the menu, all buttons just reload the menu again. Trying to return to the story using the button just returns me back to the main menu. Exiting the app using the exit button brings me back to the same menu. I had to delete the app entirely to get back to the game and don’t want to change any settings for fear of getting stuck in the menu loop again. C’mon devs, this is pretty silly.

2017-10-29	BR*****	Saw this and thought the illustrations looked familiar. Looked it up here on the App Store and saw Kate Beaton and Nedroid in the credits and I had to buy it just to support these guys. I’m excited to play it, I’m a big fan of their works.

2016-08-19	Th*****	The endings come quick and with a big laugh each time. There's never a boring moment when you're making choices for one of three Hamlet characters as you read. Hilarious, amusing, and highly addictive!

2016-07-20	Du*****	Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy the humor of the game and apparently it's just a big joke from start to finish. Art is great and the "this is what Shakespeare did" indicator is a neat feature.
