| To Be or Not To Be: That Is the Adventure |
comment |
To Be or Not To Be: That Is the Adventure is a Gamebook adaptation of William Shakespeare's Hamlet, written by Ryan North. Using the conceit that it is, in fact, the original story of Hamlet, from which Shakespeare lifted a single path and later turned that path into a play, the book allows readers to choose between multiple viewpoint characters and a number of plot tangents of varying levels of realism.The book was funded by a Kickstarter campaign that, when it ended, was the most successful publishing project in Kickstarter history, attaining 2,904% of its $20,000 goal.A Kickstarter-exclusive prequel, Poor Yorick, was also made, with illustrations by Tyson Hesse.It has also been adapted for the PC, iOS and Android. It has a sequel, Romeo and/or Juliet. |

But this time, the text scrolls so fast that it's difficult to read note (unless you screenshot the game) because you somehow managed to break the narration doing so. This is it in full: |

Of course, this is completely intentional as per Rule of Cool and Rule of Funny. |

Yet Another Stupid Death: Played with. At one point, Hamlet can choose to escape a bad situation by jumping out the window. Of a tower. The next page has him miraculously survive, surprisingly, until he suddenly slips on something and falls to his death. The narration admits that the actual death was pretty arbitrary and unsatisfying, but also says that the original choice to leap out of the window was so stupid that the audience can't really complain. |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Throughout the book you can jump between characters. At one point when you're Ophelia and you can't get Hamlet to go along with your plans, you have the option to jump to Hamlet, get him to agree and jump back to Ophelia. Eventually the author chastises you for abusing your reader privileges. In a very Off the Rails side path, Ophelia loudly announces her intention to "KILL EVERYONE IN HAMLET". The narrator then clarifies that she meant kill everyone in this hamlet. As in, village. |

But Thou Must!: The book has a few of these. Occasionally, you'll be given choices, but choosing one of them will just loop you around to the correct choice anyway. For instance, you can join in with the gravedigger's song as Hamlet, but it changes nothing, as the end result of finding Yorick's skull is the same. The most blatant is in the chess match between Ophelia and Gertrude: |

comment |
Alternate Character Interpretation: invoked Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are portrayed much more favorably as awesome friends to Hamlet, and the narrator frequently sings their praises in the PARTY BOAT!!! branch. (You can guess North is a fan of Tom Stoppard.) In fact, when Hamlet discovers the letter recommending his death to the king of England, Ros and Guil are as surprised as he is. The covert letter-swap still happens, but rather than designating his friends for death, Hamlet advises the king to set them up lavishly instead. Ros and Guil stay as Hamlet's allies from then on. |

Off the Rails: Play your cards right, and you can derail the story in insane ways that the Lemony Narrator accepts, such as making Hamlet shoot himself out of a cannon or having Ophelia murder everybody. This is because the narrator doesn't like the original play or just finds it boring. As such, spicing it up by doing something insane will make the narrator like you if you take something far enough.invoked |

| To Be or Not To Be: That Is the Adventure / int_6d57a234 |
comment |
Lemony Narrator: It's a parody of Hamlet as a choose-your-own-adventure book; this trope was practically inevitable. Sticking to the canon route mostly has the narrator bemoaning your terrible decisions and attempting to salvage things by retconning events and/or wresting control from you, because he doesn't like the original play and wants to improve it. But he's got plenty of snark to dish out for the rest of the book, and it's possible to get him on your side by playing to more modern sensibilities, such as having Ophelia becoming an Action Girl that takes down international terrorists or making Hamlet fight against pirates. |

What the Hell, Player?: The narrator chides you for stupid or misogynistic choices. This includes almost everything Ophelia does in the original play, and a large portion of Hamlet's canonical behavior. Also, in some of the bloodier endings, the narrator gets worried about the player's thirst for blood. And in another ending: |

Spared by the Adaptation: Even if you choose to re-enact the original play, Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern don't die; Hamlet just tells Horatio they did in order to cover up the real events. They do end up dead in some of the other paths, though; most commonly they are murdered by Ophelia. |

Smart People Play Chess: Played with for Ophelia as though she is quite intelligent, she turns out to have never played chess, resulting in her being almost completely outmatched by Gertrude in most of the moves she makes. However, if the reader picks the right choices, they can have Ophelia get the hang of it and be flexible enough to beat Gertrude. |

Shmuck Bait: When introducing the characters you can choose, the narrator waxes on about the awesomeness of Hamlet's dad and suggests that if you choose him, "You may experience kingly glory." Of course, you're immediately murdered in your sleep. |

The Many Deaths of You: Naturally. Occasionally parodied, for example when Hamlet jumps out of a fifth story window, miraculously survives, and then trips over a body part and breaks his neck. The narration says that you could complain about the out of nowhere neck-breaking death, but jumping out the window in the first place was so stupid that you sorta can't. |

Deliberate Values Dissonance: Discussed all over the place. Namely, the Lemony Narrator makes note of the massive amounts of sexism towards women in the story. The first scene with Ophelia, if you follow the story as written, will have the narrator point out how Ophelia is agreeing to incredibly sexist things about a woman's place in the world by her father and her brother. This includes asking about her sex life and calling her a slut for sleeping with Hamlet before marriage, yet he gets to sleep around as much as he wants with no consequences. |

Never One Murder: One of Ophelia's endings has her murder Claudius in front of Gertrude. Which naturally makes her have to murder Gertrude as well, only to notice Horatio - and so on and so on until Ophelia's killed every single character with her bare hands again. By the time Hamlet arrives, Ophelia has become so used to killing people that she accidentally kills him as well. |

Late to the Tragedy: Two of Ophelia's endings result in her arriving late to the throne room to find almost everyone dead as a result of Hamlet's actions, much like at the end of the play. In the "returning from vacation" ending, Fortinbras has already been crowned king. In the "faking drowning" ending, Fortinbras arrives shortly after and is just as clueless about what has transpired as Ophelia is. |

Shout-Out: Dozens. In particular, every time Rosencrantz and Guildenstern show up, you can expect references to Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff - up to and including actually looking like them in some of the ending art. When the pirate adventure begins, the background music changes to an upbeat swashbuckling motif that is based on the Pirates of the Caribbean theme. One of the possible endings of the pirate interlude is that the pirate ship "fires all of its guns at once, and you explode in disgrace." When you duel the pirate captain, he tells you that "You fight like a dairy farmer." |

The forged letter that Hamlet replaces Claudius's letter with is also this, repeatedly insisting that Claudius really did write the letter even if he claims not to. Also there's this, on the narrator's part: |

Complexity Addiction: Hamlet and Ophelia can plan to murder Claudius by using a book to get him admit to his crimes, after which they plan to stab him. When Ophelia rejects Hamlet's attempt to write said book, they plan to plagiarize an existing book to match the situation. Hamlet shows Ophelia The Murder of Gonzago: A "The Adventure Is Being Chosen by You' Story! Can You Murder Your Brother Gonzago and Then, Playing as Your Dead Brother's Son, Murder Your Usurping Uncle? I Sure Hope So; Choose From Over 300 Different Possible Endings. Ophelia suggests simply showing Claudius that book, but Hamlet still wants to plagiarize it. |

Railroading: It's obvious that the Lemony Narrator doesn't actually like the original play and thinks his version is superior; attempting to derail his ideas or act out the canonical version of Hamlet leads to increasingly angry tantrums and attempts to retcon away your actions, such as claiming Hamlet was only pretending to be a jerk to Ophelia. Play your cards right though, and you can derail the story in insane ways that he accepts, such as making Hamlet shoot himself out of a cannon or having Ophelia murder everybody.invoked |
