A hilarious comedy game with too much repetition.

There are too many endings that force you to replay huge chunks of the story in order to get more jokes from the other path, turning the game from a fun choose-your-own-adventure to a poorly working Skinner machine. Though it must be said it did get better once I found the skip buttons.

I would still have liked there to be better checkpointing, e.g. before every choice so that if you instantly die (which you often do, in very funny ways, so they're annoyingly worth searching out), you can instantly return to it after seeing the art for the ending.

The writing is great though, and following the "actual" Hamlet's story as Shakespeare wrote it (especially if you start with Ophelia) is one of the funniest things I've ever read in my whole life. I’ll probably return to this game from time to time to search out lines that I’ve missed, just because it’s so funny, but I still can’t get over the repetition (if you couldn’t tell from the fact it was the thing I spent most of the review complaining about).
