Released on the wave of popularity of the Myst series, an adventure point-and-click game, set in a horror atmosphere.

Frankenstein: Through the Eyes of the Monster Description

Frankenstein: Through the Eyes of the Monster is Interplay's popular Myst adventure point-and-click game, set in a horror atmosphere. However, this is not another classic adaptation of the adventures of mad Doctor Frankenstein. As the title suggests, this time we will be able to look at the world through the eyes of the monster itself.

In the game we play Phillip Verren, a scientist who was wrongly sentenced to hang for killing his daughter. Thanks to Dr. Frankenstein's research, we get a unique chance to return to life and explain the mystery of the girl's death. During our mission we discover many terrifying facts, such as the existence of the second monster, and the conspiracy between the mad Doctor, the judge and the mysterious Vladimir.

Waking up in the laboratory at Frankenstein's side, we must first establish who we are, what puzzles our past is and why we have become an object of the doctor's experiment. The game boils down largely to exploring several levels of the castle of a crazy scientist, being in fact one great maze filled with secret passages and a series of logical puzzles to solve. During the exploration we will come across trails and documentaries that will discover all the intricacies of the plot before us. We will have to face not only Frankenstein himself, but also his second monster. There will also be an opportunity to bring your tragically deceased daughter back to life by taking advantage of the doctor's examination. Depending on the development of accidents and our effectiveness, the game provides for several alternative endings.

Frankenstein's graphics: Through the Eyes of the Monster live resembles the frame of the Myst series, interwoven with video sequences with live actors. The interface is intuitive and easy to use, even for beginners and adventurers. Dr. Frankenstein was played by the American actor Tim Curry, who perfectly matches the character. In the cast we will also see the young Amanda Fuller, who played the daughter of our protagonist, Gabrielle.
