Hamlet

It's a re-imagining of William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" story, with the player controlling a man from the future who has been dropped into Hamlet's world and must solve a variety of logic puzzles to make it through. The trailer features a visual interpretation that can only be described as unique, and that looks to be light-hearted and fun -- if the electric guitar-toting caricature of King Claudius is anything to go by.


REVIEW

Mif2000's Hamlet is certainly a game that marches to the beat of its own drum, and as a result you'll be chuckling at its humor and creativity one minute and cursing some its more inscrutable puzzles the next. Regardless, this off-kilter ode to one of Shakespeare's most famous plays is nothing if not creative and fresh.
