While i think that the execution is nearly top notch, and while the music is not amazing but its fitting, sometimes the replies i need to make are kinda tricky to make this idiot understand.
Also, make some sort of autosave feature, game crashed on me at least once, had to reload the page, lost all my progress.
Finished it. Took me a lot longer than it should have. A lot of times, GD will tell the answer but the X wont appear on grave. Getting the way gilden and rosen were killed, in particular, was a pain. I found several sentences that said they were hung before finding the one that activate the X.
Needs a save feature and something to reward players who go through it all. It would be usefull if pressing the up key copy pasted the last sentence... and if the ingame copy paste feature didn't crash the game.
It's a good game and I see plenty of potential. However, sometimes it took me getting the gravedigger(GD) to repeat an answer to get it marked on the grave. He also failed to answer any question about Gildenstern and Rosencratz, either not able to remember who was who or just falling back and saying everyone was murdered. I could only get that they died by travelling.
The Xs on the graves were also out of order. For example: on Ophelia, the grave has XX___, but the description has X_X__. The final X on gravestones are also mismatch, so a ____X is actually ___X_ in the description. It confuses me on which detail I do have sometimes.
While I appreciate the effort of "decoding" text into a way the GD could understand it, it very quickly became cumbersome when I asked something straight-forward (Claudius was killed by Hamlet Jr?) and received an entirely different answer (Didn't you understand the first time? Claudius provided Laertes with a poisoned sword.).
It's a clever attempt and I see much potential for improvement. Keep trying and you'll get better!
First (actually never seen or read Hamlet) I tried my best by trial and error. I got the solution to most of them, except Claudius, Rosencrantz and Gildenstern. I could figure out most of Claudius, but not what killed him.
Rosencrantz and Gildenstern was traveling and that is it. By guessing of different countries in Europe, you can eventually pick it right.
Spolier!!
But there it stops. I even read about Hamlet, but when I suggested correctly that he was killed by poison, then the game tells about Gertrude (who was killed the same way, even though only by accident). Rosencrantz and Gildenstern is hardly possible to get anything about even if you know the story by reading about Hamlet.
It's an interesting game, but Rosencrantz, Gildentstern, and Laertes are bugged. Specifically Laertes 3 and RG 5
