Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

Contemporary Adaptation within the Digital Medium

The video game places the player in the role of Frankenstein's creature in the year 1793, roughly following the events of the 1994 film of the same name. The creature's journey focuses on him seeking revenge upon Frankenstein through the city of Ingolstadt, Bavaria . The creature faces great persecution from peasants and soldiers. Due to his appearance, the creature is seen by the common people as a demon. They have little knowledge of modern science and believe they must kill him. The player must fend off their attacks, as well as solve simple puzzles throughout the game to progress. It's an action adventure game published alongside the movie for publicity. It takes liberties with the story of Frankenstein, but kept the story relevant in pop culture for additions later to come.
