MACBETH: THE VIDEO GAME

Macbeth: the video game is a concept created to help students to better understand Shakespeare's classic tragedy through immersive gameplay and an interactive narrative. 

 

11th century Scotland. 

With a nation’s fate hanging in the balance, their most brave and loyal Thane is tempted by darkness. Taken from William Shakespeare’s work, play as Macbeth and choose to succumb to temptation, or to save your people and your own sanity.

 

CHANCE WILL HAVE ME KING: Choose to follow in the play’s original footsteps, or make your own timeline as king.

 

FAIR IS FOUL: Your decisions affect how people perceive you.

 

WHAT’S DONE IS DONE: These decisions also have consequences, so choose wisely.

 

IN THUNDER, LIGHTNING, OR IN RAIN? Explore Scotland’s highlands and the halls of Dunsinane Castle in a vast open-world map.
