This is epic. Hamlet is my FAVORITE Shakespearean tragedy. It really helps when you actually know the story, it makes asking questions a bit easier.
The only issue I had was that the response to answers were kind of slow. At the beginning I thought for a while that I should be doing something else
(ie clicking "enter, clicking the text box, etc)
Then I realized there was just a lag going on. Also wish you had medals.
What fun this was... Great job.
I love the Hamlet story, but I never had an excellent game like this. Like, uncovering the deaths of some important people in our history with an half-dead brain gravedigger?! Excellent.
Here are a few tips on how to solve this if you have not read the book
1. If the grave digger gets confused between Hamlet Sr and Jr go to another character
2. Rose and Guild need to be asked at the same time or else the GD will be confused
3.Some times questions will need to be repeated before a grave gets an X
4.Claudius needs to be solved in order to figure out Hamlet Sr's death
5.Some questions need to be solved by trying to finish the grave for example:
GD:"It couldn't happen unless..."
Player:"Unless (person#1) was mistaken for (Person#2)" Then you'll get an X
6.For Ophelia's reason ask "How did Ophelia become mad?" to GD
7. Others will sometimes need to be solved to help find out a single character
8. Some questions will have to be answered straight forward
If all else fails look on google I hope this helps and have fun
Great game!!!

I think it's pretty good and it's an interesting and original way to view the Hamlet story, but there are plenty of frustrations around trying to get the right syntax or triggering word/phrase. For example: "Why did Rosy and Guildo ask to be killed?" -> "They didn't know that's what they were asking." but "How did Rosy and Guildo ask to be killed?" -> "To be hung until they were dead." Argh!
