Description

This was written as an example of TWIF: tweetable IF (or "twitfic", for those in the know). This is a minimalist remediation of Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 1, written within the 140 character limit imposed by Twitter (not considering white space). This game grew out of an unrelated discussion thread on RAIF.

Instructions

*.Z5 format file, requires an interpreter that implements the Z-machine.
