Wanderer, The: Frankenstein’s Creature
© 2019 La Belle Games
Winner of the BolognaRagazzi Digital Award 2020. The classic Victorian gothic novel by Mary Shelley has been reimagined in a digital in a musical, well illustrated world that combines puzzles and an immersive storyline that pulls you into the narrative. There are some dark themes that are handled in a tasteful way. It features a creature born neither good nor evil, traveling through Europe in a search to find its origins and learn about humanity. This journey is emotional and challenging for both the creature and the player as beauty and kindness are often followed by darkness, fear and hate. Depending on the player's actions, the creature evolves differently, which changes the story and the gameplay. The emotional state of the creature is at the center of the game experience: facing a testing situation, its state may vary from anger to madness, through sadness. Note that there are some violent themes.
