What is Elsinore?

Set in the world of Shakespeare's Hamlet, this point-and-click adventure follows Ophelia after she foresees the deaths of everyone at Elsinore Castle. You talk to characters, follow their schedules, and uncover secrets as events unfold in real time. Every four days, time resets, but Ophelia keeps what she has learned and can use it to change events.
