I don't remember a octopus in Hamlet, did I miss an act?

You must have fallen asleep, it's right after the dragon race.

Please note: I have no idea what I'm talking about. I apologize. If Joystiq had a delete key, I'd be all over it. I'm tired and it's still early :/

Actually, Claudius sends Hamlet to England, via boat, after Polonius dies--that could be where the octopus comes into play. And maybe where Rosencrantz and Guildenstern die.

To be fair, I have more fingers than a cow so it is more like a cow spells like me.

Fantastic, Hamlet happens to be my favorite Shakespearean play. Though it seems they have taken some liberties with the story and characters...

I'll be keeping my eye on this.

Hamlet: The Game is based on the characters and events of the literary masterpiece. Only the characters and events have been changed.

This is EXACTLY how I pictured Hamlet when I read the play!...

Oh, who am I kidding, the closest I ever got to seeing Hamlet was the parody trailer in Last Action Hero. T_T

Why not go see Hamlet? Seeing Shakespeare live is an awesome experience (my area has a pretty terrific Shakespeare in the Park every summer).

Much more tasteful use of public domain than certain other games I could name...

If you're talking about that Pride and Prejudice FPS, I thought that was pretty badass.

I'm guessing that the final boss is a QTE to kill yourself.

Loving the visual style. For a second there, I thought Tomorrow Corporation had announced their first game.

I misread that as 'milf2000'.

I'd play a Milf2000 game...

Actually, my friend and I made a Super Mario World hack based off of Hamlet (good luck making a game any other way with only like 3 weeks of warning for a project.)

we blew the others out of the water so hard that nobody in that room questions me when i say something technical. I also had an excuse to walk around school dressed as Mario for a day!

I'd rather play Hamlet 2: The Game, and get a perfect score on the "Raped in the Face" QTE scene.
