The Ghost of Joe Papp invites players into the vibrant yet turbulent world of the John Q. Public Shakespeare Festival, where the cast passionately engages in productions of Merchant of Venice and Hamlet. This summer's festival is more than just a showcase of dramatic talent; it becomes a transformative experience for the main actors, influenced by the audience's choices. You will have the opportunity to guide either Scott or Molly through a profound summer filled with personal and professional identity crises.

Your decisions affect not only the trajectory of their stories but also their relationships with seven other cast members, shaping the dynamics of the group. Every choice you make in one scene has the potential to influence the next, leading to varying outcomes and altering how the play is perceived by critics and audiences alike. With over 30 minutes of gameplay in each session, players are encouraged to explore the multifaceted dimensions of performance and personal growth. Be aware of mature content, including language and implied drug use, as you navigate through the layered narratives of this uniquely engaging experience.
