How it feels

a lighthearted, literary choose-your-own-adventure that blends Shakespeare's tragedy with playful, humorous twists and branching paths.

What players say

Players describe it as a choose-your-own-adventure book with narration, no animation or real gameplay. Humor splits opinion: some find it hilarious, others say it is cringe or relies on outdated 'lol random' jokes. The art gallery and narrator voice acting are praised, but replaying to see every ending means sitting through the same text.
