Elsinore

Elsinore is a time-traveling narrative adventure game currently in development by GoldenGlitch. It is based on the world of Shakespeare's Hamlet and was recently Kickstarter funded. It was created by Katie Chironis. The game is set in an era similar to Shakespeare's Hamlet. There is no release date schedule at this time. The game has been Steam Greenlit.

Overview

The game centers around the players character Ophelia, a young noblewoman of Denmark who wakes up from a vision. In three days everyone in Elsinore Castle is dead. Players will be thrown into a three-day time loop where they will have to learn from each experience and eventually change the future through trial and error. The actions players can take at any stage are numerous and like survival or other simulation games, choices matter. Characters have their own lives, schedules, needs, desires and plans. The smallest interaction has an impact on the outcome.

As part of the stretch bonus at Kickstarter, players will also be able to play a new branch of the game called Pirate Ship. On Day 2 in Hamlet, Hamlet is sent to England on a Danish ship, however his ship is captured by pirates and Hamlet returns to Elsinore. Now Ophelia will be able to join Hamlet on his trip and hopefully change the outcome of this new adventure.
