Elsinore

Elsinore is a point-and-click adventure set in the world of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. After Ophelia awakens from a vision that everyone in Elsinore Castle will be dead in four days, she becomes trapped in a time loop and tries to change the future.

The time loop

The story unfolds in real time across a living world. After each four-day cycle, time resets and Ophelia gets another chance to change the inhabitants’ fates. She remembers what she learned in previous loops, which gives her new ways to act.

A changing story

A story simulation engine determines which events occur in response to your interactions. You can lie, forgive, gossip, befriend or destroy, and the game reacts immediately. Each character has their own schedule, needs, desires and plans, while their motivations, long histories and secrets shape the world around them.

Decisions and survival

Understanding the characters’ motivations is necessary for Ophelia’s survival. Many paths end in tragedy, and characters can meet grisly fates; hard decisions and terrible trials require you to respond quickly.
