Our take on Frankenstein: Beyond the Time
The central constraint is a time loop: moved objects reset when it closes, and each stage must be completed before the Artifact triggers it again.
What is Frankenstein: Beyond the Time?
Explore a Victorian mansion and investigate Dr.
Frankenstein’s mystery through hidden-object searches, crafting simulations, and a story inspired by Mary Shelley’s novel but set in an original universe. The Artifact creates a time loop that returns moved objects to their previous positions when the loop closes. Each stage must be completed before the Artifact activates again. Notes and sketches found throughout the mansion reveal more about the experiment, while interactive characters and dozens of monologues develop the plot and suspense. Changing weather affects lighting and reflections in the environment. The game also includes a boss fight, a defensive weapon, and an original soundtrack. The vendor estimates about 4 hours of gameplay.
