Fantastic way to interact with a classic
By far, one of my favorite ways to interact with the classic book Frankenstein. I pull this out every few years around Halloween and read it. It’s a great joy pleasure to interact with it.

I prefer Shelley’s but this is ok
I adored the 80 Days game and replayed it three times, so I decided to try this one. Unfortunately, Frankenstein is much more limited and not nearly as open ended in terms of what happens and how, which limits the value of revisiting it. I also find the writing, a bit of a pastiche, less interesting than Shelley’s.
