Try not to end up face down in a lake

There is something aboutHamletthat inspires creators to want to adventure through it. First there was Ryan North’s chooseable-path adventure bookTo Be or Not To Be, now there isElsinore. Maybe people want to change the outcome because of the part at the end where everybody dies (spoilers).

Elsinorestars Ophelia, who has a terrible vision of the future and is cursed to relive the same four days over and over. Canonically, Ophelia ends up drowning herself. Naturally, the goal is to avoid that, and perhaps even keep the rest of the cast breathing after the credits roll. Through manipulation of information across different time loops, it just might be possible.
