ARTE and indie developer La Belle Games have revealed that their story driven adventure The Wanderer: Frankenstein’s Creature will release on Steam for Windows PC and Mac on the 31st October and to mobile platforms in November. They’ve also announced that the game will release on the Nintendo Switch in early 2020.
The Wanderer: Frankenstein’s Creature is an adventure that takes players back to the roots of Mary Shelley’s legendary novel, Frankenstein, and invites them to discover a very different monster to that of more recent popular fiction.
Taking the role of the innocent creature, players will need to travel through Europe on a quest to discover its origins and help him learn about humanity. Although the journey will see the creature encounter beauty and kindness and also fear and hatred. As players progress, the decisions that they make will change the emotional atmosphere of the game and this in turn will alter the watercolour landscapes and the soundtrack.
“We wanted to bring the iconic scenes of the novel to life in The Wanderer: Frankenstein’s Creature, seeing every level as an evolving painting inspired by the romantic era,” says Cédric Bache, Producer at La Belle Games, a small indie studio based in Paris. “The book isn’t about the monster that we know from popular culture, but about what it means to be human. When a child’s soul is part of an adult body, and that child doesn’t understand the way the world works.”
