William Shakespeare’s *Macbeth* is getting a fresh take as an interactive video game, set to release later in 2025. Developed by the Royal Shakespeare Company in collaboration with iNK Stories, the game, titled “Lili,” immerses players in a neo-noir Iran where surveillance and authoritarianism are integral to daily life. Combining live-action cinematic storytelling with interactive gameplay, players take on the role of Lady Macbeth, making choices that shape her destiny inspired by Sam Barlow’s popular thrillers like *1979 Revolution: Black Friday*. The game offers a stylized vision of modern Iran, blending stark reality with fictional elements to create an engaging and thought-provoking experience.
