By exploring the world, you will experience your emotions, develop and write the first pages of your story. When confronted with mankind, there will be no way to escape the question of your origins: Who abandoned you in this world? Hunted by this question The Wanderer: Frankenstein's Creature will take you on an adventure throughout Europe. Your experiences - some brutal and tragic, others joyful - as well as your choices, will bring you closer to the truth with every step. But will you be ready to face this truth?

The Wanderer: Frankenstein's Creature tells Mary Shelly's story from a new perspective. See what it's like to live life as a creature and take a journey to find out what it means to exist. Victor Frankenstein expected to ‘create life.’ But did he intend for The Wanderer: Frankenstein’s Creature to feel?

‎The Wanderer: Frankenstein's Creature comes to consoles, being a point-and-click graphic adventure adapted to the controller in a good way. The great story, the artistic design and the excellent soundtrack will catch us, but perhaps it will throw us back some decisions of the writers along with some minor technical errors, but that can lead to despair at some point.‎

The Wanderer: Frankenstein's Creature brings a beautiful artistic experience with an excellent sound immersion to tell the story of one of the most famous monsters in fiction, even with a not so good gameplay and too much linearity.

If you enjoy meta-fiction the way I do, I think you’ll enjoy your time with The Wanderer: Frankenstein’s Creature. Clocking in at around two hours, the game is brisk but does offer replay value. The game touches on several concepts near and dear to my heart, including the idea that fiction exists beyond its creator, as well as what constitutes immortality. It’s a somber look at depression, but also finds the beauty in a flawed existence. There’s very little gameplay to be had, but like a good book or film, the questions The Wanderer poses about life, love, complicity, and free will stick with me.

Whilst artistically stunning, The Wanderer: Frankentein's Creature's port to Switch is riddled with bugs, rendering it unplayable in parts.
