Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is a retelling of the classic tale, where the player takes on the role of Victor Frankenstein's creation. After being rejected by its creator due to its appearance, the creature flees and vows revenge.
The gameplay involves navigating through levels while fighting off enemies wielding wooden sticks. The player can also use environmental elements to their advantage, such as setting the stick on fire from nearby torches. However, using this attack comes with a cost, as it drains some of the player's health. Additionally, players must solve simple puzzles to progress through the game.
