Hamlet jokes because the pirate ship was incredibly disappointing and I can't see the sea being any better.

I'm kind of curious what would happen if we died immediately but the instant game overs aren't any good so far (possibly ever) so yeah, get out of bed.

Definitely get on with the killing. Also I liked the ghostsplosion ending so as long as endings like those are sprinkled in enough it's not completely irredeemable (just mostly).

I would like to point out that I am one of the circlejerk artists that contributed to this book (but I haven't done a webcomic). I just contacted Ryan North and asked if I could do a picture and he said yes.

I doubt anyone thinks less of the people who only did pictures, no need to fear. Let us know when it's your work though cause I'm not the only one probably who hasn't seen your art or recognizes your real name.

It's designed around one main path and loads of single choice dead ends just like Hamlet and Hamlet Sr.'s stories?

Not in the actual Choose Your Own Adventure series. Those were pretty much just like this book, one or two real paths and a bunch of options that would just lead straight to an ending. Some game books did it a bit better, but there's always a limit to how much is possible. Every complete path reduces the possible length of the story.

If the material were original at least the railroading would be less painfully obvious, but when it's Shakespeare and a video game format that only has time and writer fatigue/starvation as constraints rather than publishers and book length, it stands out like a sore thumb. Making more of the dead ends two or three choices deep instead of one would have done a lot to reduce that feel of wasted potential.
