To Be or Not To Be
A few years ago, Ryan North (ofDinosaur Comicsfame) set up aKickstarter campaignfor a “choose your own adventure” styled retelling of Shakespeare’sHamlet, titledTo Be or Not To Be. It enjoyed enormous success, making more than $580,000 in pledges, and the final product turned out great.
With all of the backer rewards long since taken care of, it was a surprise to see a new backer update show up almost a year after the previous one. In it,To Be or Not To Bewasannounced as a videogame, available immediately for PC onSteamandHumblefor $11.99.
As an owner of the book, I can heartily recommend it. It’s filled with a ton of artwork created by a huge list of artists, and in contrast to a lot ofrecent adventure games, the choices made inTo Be or Not To Becan send the narrative in significantly different directions.
