Every horror fan knows (or should know) about the literary classic by Mary Shelley. Of course, Hollywood has given us its own classic interpretation thanks to James Whale and Boris Karloff, and now thanks to developer La Belle Games, you’ll be able to do so, too!
Launching on Halloween (October 31st, if you’re curious), publisher ARTE France and La Belle Games have announced narrative adventure game The Wanderer: Frankenstein’s Creature for Switch, PC via Steam, iOS, and Android. The game has you playing as The Creature, where you must forge your own story. Ignorant of the concepts of good and evil, you will have to explore the vast world and experience both the joy and sorrow life offers.
The game features a a point-and-click interface, where each decision not only affects the story’s outcome, but also your surroundings. Yeah, it might sound out there, but if you’ve read the original novel (or have even seen the 1931 original), you know the existential crisis of The Creature, and his longing for companionship. It’s definitely a not full-on horror, which is what this game hopes to capitalize on. Hit up the official website for more information on the game.
