    First game up is GM Declan, one of the crew from the awesome D8 Dungeon, and To Be Or Not To Be....A Good Boy! This is a barking mad take on the Everyone Is Jack game system where players take on the role of various personalities within....(paws for effect)...Fido the prize winning dog!!

    Game Length: 4Hours+ n/a Story: Chinese (No English Support) n/a Gameplay: Visual Novel with Mini Games 5/5 CG: Great! Uncensored! DLC/Patch required! 5/5 Grand Total: n/a n/a ATTENTION! This game has none and will NOT be getting any English Support. I cannot recommend only for that reason but my review is a thumbs up because the game was a Visual Novel with a very cool design. It has very great character design and art. I really love how the style is Water Color even though it is…

    故事无敌,确实值得用心体会。 多结局更是有相当的思考深度。 加上制作组的缝纫机现状,不开玩笑地说一句,真的是有伟大的艺术创作和济世情怀的团队,不惜自己身陷囹圄……

    Not quite a time loop game, but I also played To Be Or Not To Be, a choose-your-own-adventure Hamlet, and it has the same playful freedom of letting you (and even encouraging you) to do weird things just to see what happens, with no penalty.

    To Be or Not to Be is a clever and delightfully quirky interactive narrative game that reimagines the classic works of William Shakespeare with a playful twist. Developed by Wales Interactive, this title blends humor, literary homage, and inventive gameplay to offer a unique experience that appeals to fans of theater, literature, and visual novels alike. Far from being a dry adaptation of Shakespeare’s plays, To Be or Not to Be breathes fresh life into the Bard’s stories by turning them into a…

    游戏相当不错,每个角色的设计都站得住脚,也都很讨人喜欢,看得出制作组经费有限,加上国内环境这些debuff,但还是做到好钢用在刀刃上,能让你被这个游戏的世界观和其中的各种妹子迷住。做到让游戏主要内容值价的同时,剧情还能吸引到你,甚至为当中的一些情节所触动。其实游戏本能更加优秀,抑或者是有更好的续作再续前缘,当前的情况实在让人惋惜。 玩完感觉每个角色都给我留下很好的印象,性格各异但是都合我的胃口,尤其是医师和仙女姐姐,故事也让人感觉意犹未尽,很想让其延续下去。 就是可惜每个妹子的剧情都说不上长,cg过后就较少再有她们相关的剧情==,这也就是我说的可以更优秀的地方。 最后希望能和杰老师修成正果,和诸多角色过上幸福生活—v—。

    I couldn't resist making a little interactive fiction section with @ryannorth.ca's To Be Or Not To Be, the Bounty Hunter game-books, and OF COURSE some @chooseadventure.bsky.social titles (including the classic Inside UFO 54-40 and @writingrana.bsky.social's recent Stranger Things tie-in.)

    Also spent three to four years as a writer and editor on games including Warlock of Firetop Mountain and To Be or Not To Be - I enjoyed that a lot. But I could never get another industry job in game writing - they always seemed to want formal qualifications and I didn’t have any

    If there was a one true path, it should have been in the game. Like Yorick skulls in To Be Or Not To Be marking what choices you should make to follow Shakespeare's canon path. If the game doesn't have them - i choose to get lost first and ask for directions later.

    To Be or Not to Be is a really good game based on a book based on a play (Hamlet)! I'm surprised I almost never hear anyone talking about this game because I love it. And it was made by @ryannorth.ca and @katebeaton.bsky.social! www.videogamesaslit.com/2015/02/to-b...

    18) To Be or Not To Be: A....visual novel is the wrong word, choose your own adventure game is very accurate, version of Hamlet. Lots of charm, fun endings to find as you try all the different paths and choices. store.steampowered.com/app/324710/T...

    "To Be or Not to Be a Villain", by James Introcaso, Rudy Basso, and Daniel Fox is a game using either 5e or Zweihander that has 2 or 3 GMs with particular duties, intended for groups of 9 players. One GM is the Director, the other is the Playwright, (and the optional third is the Stage Manager)
