    First game up is GM Declan, one of the crew from the awesome D8 Dungeon, and To Be Or Not To Be....A Good Boy! This is a barking mad take on the Everyone Is Jack game system where players take on the role of various personalities within....(paws for effect)...Fido the prize winning dog!!

    Game Length: 4Hours+ n/a Story: Chinese (No English Support) n/a Gameplay: Visual Novel with Mini Games 5/5 CG: Great! Uncensored! DLC/Patch required! 5/5 Grand Total: n/a n/a ATTENTION! This game has none and will NOT be getting any English Support. I cannot recommend only for that reason but my review is a thumbs up because the game was a Visual Novel with a very cool design. It has very great character design and art. I really love how the style is Water Color even though it is…

    @ryannorth.ca This is a long shot but I bought the game version of To Be or Not To Be on Android like 10 years ago and now it's just... gone?

    Not quite a time loop game, but I also played To Be Or Not To Be, a choose-your-own-adventure Hamlet, and it has the same playful freedom of letting you (and even encouraging you) to do weird things just to see what happens, with no penalty.

    To Be or Not to Be is a clever and delightfully quirky interactive narrative game that reimagines the classic works of William Shakespeare with a playful twist. Developed by Wales Interactive, this title blends humor, literary homage, and inventive gameplay to offer a unique experience that appeals to fans of theater, literature, and visual novels alike. Far from being a dry adaptation of Shakespeare’s plays, To Be or Not to Be breathes fresh life into the Bard’s stories by turning them into a…

    I couldn't resist making a little interactive fiction section with @ryannorth.ca's To Be Or Not To Be, the Bounty Hunter game-books, and OF COURSE some @chooseadventure.bsky.social titles (including the classic Inside UFO 54-40 and @writingrana.bsky.social's recent Stranger Things tie-in.)

    Also spent three to four years as a writer and editor on games including Warlock of Firetop Mountain and To Be or Not To Be - I enjoyed that a lot. But I could never get another industry job in game writing - they always seemed to want formal qualifications and I didn’t have any

    If there was a one true path, it should have been in the game. Like Yorick skulls in To Be Or Not To Be marking what choices you should make to follow Shakespeare's canon path. If the game doesn't have them - i choose to get lost first and ask for directions later.

    To Be or Not to Be is a really good game based on a book based on a play (Hamlet)! I'm surprised I almost never hear anyone talking about this game because I love it. And it was made by @ryannorth.ca and @katebeaton.bsky.social! www.videogamesaslit.com/2015/02/to-b...

    18) To Be or Not To Be: A....visual novel is the wrong word, choose your own adventure game is very accurate, version of Hamlet. Lots of charm, fun endings to find as you try all the different paths and choices. store.steampowered.com/app/324710/T...

    "To Be or Not to Be a Villain", by James Introcaso, Rudy Basso, and Daniel Fox is a game using either 5e or Zweihander that has 2 or 3 GMs with particular duties, intended for groups of 9 players. One GM is the Director, the other is the Playwright, (and the optional third is the Stage Manager)

    To Be or Not To Be store.steampowered.com/app/324710/T... if i had a nickel for every game where you played through the plot of hamlet, etc. a video game adaptation (with VO!) of ryan north's incredibly funny CYOA book. you don't have to know hamlet to enjoy it, but it adds to the jokes if you do
