My first thought when I seen this game was that it was going to be either really good or really bad, and I must admit that the story is intriguing and the graphics are pretty decent. This isn't the Frankenstein of yesteryear, but it does have all the familiar key components of the monster Frankenstein has created. Dr. Frankenstein has been experimenting with death itself as he searches for immortality, everyone wants to live forever, but does anyone want to become a zombie?

This game is pretty basic, with only two modes of difficulty, but honestly the Hard mode isn't really hard, even though the game claims that you will beg for your life! There is a good map available as well as navigation buttons, the inventory button requires you to click on a blue sphere located on the bottom left if you want the inventory bar locked in place. There isn't an abundance of areas of interest in each scene, and you will be doing a lot of back and forth traveling as you find an inventory item in one scene that will be used in another just to receive an item needed in the scene you just came from. (but it totally works for this game!)

Almost every scene has a Hidden Object Scene, again pretty basic list finds, but the scenes are clear, the items are recognizable and there are a lot of items requiring interactions as well as small puzzles and codes to find to open up locked items. The mini games are fairly easy and uncomplicated, a lot of them involved moving items to the correct place, but when you moved one, others would move as well. I did enjoy the mini game where you had to move a key from the bottom right to the top left, along an electrical wire and if the keys ring touched the wire, you had to start over (took me several attempts)

For a stand alone game without all the frills, this game is well worth purchasing with or without a credit. The story gives a slight twist to the famous Frankenstein tale of bring the dead back to life, and it's presented in a way that makes you continue playing because you just have to find out how the story plays out. Enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

I was so tired of all the mysterious evil forces stuffed games with similar stories lately, that I even quit my BF membership, et voila! This eerie little gem pops up!

The story: your old friend, the famous Victor Frankenstein, sends you a letter and asks you to visit him giving only sinister hints regarding his work and his assisstant Igor, a wealthy Baron who also supports Victor with money. Not knowing what's going on, you head over to Frankenstein mansion to unravel the mystery.

Gameplay: The HOS are slightly interactive and with advanced difficulty not too easy, since the cursor doesn't show the interactive elements. The user interface is a bit strange and definitely needs getting used to (e.g. the hint is on the top of the screen, behind a skull), but after a bit trial and error you'll find everything you need for smooth gaming fun.

Even though the graphics are not really sensational and the music is a bit annoying, the game gets a five out of five, because it's so wonderfully creepy. There are definitely some serious jumping moments when Victor's "living dead experiments" appear on the scene. I love scary games, I love getting solid goose-bumps, and I love the mad scientist theme.

This game scores by storyline and atmosphere and if you like that, this game is definitely for you. Show less

I recommend this game!

Story: Your dear friend Victor Frankenstein needs your help, and without hesitation you go. Victor and his wife Elizabeth is suppose to meet you upon your arrival but only Elizabeth is there. When out of the blue comes Frankenstein and chases after poor Elizabeth. Now you have to save Elizabeth. On the side note, your friend Victor teamed up with another scientist trying to bring the dead back to life by artificial means. Thing I want to find out is is Frankie actually Victor and why does Frankie want Elizabeth. Good good story.

Graphics: Awesome. I love the 3D graphics. They make it seem a little more lifelike.

Music: Superbly done and definitely adds to the spook factor.

H0S: Really fun. Yes, they are the lists and the blue words are the extra step objects, but I love how they incorporated mini games for one of the blue words.

Map: Has the red exclamation point indicators to show you something needs to be done. Green checkmark means your done with that scene, and question mark shows you haven't explored that area yet. Also it's a jump map.

Mini Games: Really fun. Not too hard or easy, just right.

Again, all in all JetDogs did a superior job with this game. Kudos to the team! Show less

I recommend this game!

Wow! What was that? An electrified zombie? Made immediate purchase with a BFG game credit. Hope that counts for developers.

Minus the bells and whistles, this beautifully rendered game stands on it's own with magnificent artwork, bold bright colors and a mystery to unfold. I would have liked to see more length in each scene and that is a compliment!

Spectacular artwork and spellbinding music, game flows smoothly and quickly with no issues. Interactive map, a navigation icon and the hint system works quickly and efficiently.

From the makers of Millennium Secrets--Emerald Curse and Rosanne's Necklace, gamers should check out those games as well.

A Big Fish Thanks to Fineway Studios and Jet Dog Studios, you guys did a great job! Looking forward to seeing more games in the near future.
Enjoy! -Mama Mia- Show less

I agree with "tesamoine" and "SandraSwede". This is a fun little game to play.

If your looking for a hard and challenging game or an easy, hand holding game, then this is not it.

I agree with "tesamoine" and "SandraSwede". This is a fun little game to play.

If your looking for a hard and challenging game or an easy, hand holding game, then this is not it. However, if you are looking for a game that flows well without a lot of back and forth, mini-puzzles within HOS, good story, good atmosphere, easy to understand puzzles, but challenging to solve, and just plain fun to play then this is the game for you.

I enjoyed playing this game and did so without getting bored after an hr. This is the first game in a long time that I didn't want to stop playing.

Pros:
No real hand holding: If you got stuck you had to figure out what to do next. Not over-challenging, just plain common sense. You knew if you saw the key hole, you needed a key, screw needed your screwdriver, etc.
No Extreme back and forth: You would find an item and knew you had to go back a couple of scenes to use it, but nothing like so many other games like we've experienced from top developers lately.
Once you came across a tool, screwdriver, wrench, crowbar, etc. it would stay in your inventory until you no longer needed it. You didn't use it once, loose it, then have to fine another one. It was so nice knowing "oh, I need a crowbar, I've got that".
Puzzles easy to understand: many challenging to solve. It is up to you if you had the patience to solve them. Several I worked on, then skipped to get back to the game.
HOS: large items which sometimes makes it hard to spot. Blue items would require working a mini-puzzle or assembling before obtaining, again at times making you have to think.
HEAR YOUR OWN VOICE: how often does that happen? Shocked me when I heard. I thought it was cool, however, the voice was way to gruff to fit the person you represented.

Cons:
I came across a few glitches that I would have to work around. What at first I thought was a glitch was actually me needing to do one more thing before I could obtain the object (season the meat before giving to the tiger). They was no hint I needed to do that. However, toward the end of the game it allowed me twice to go to an area, obtain an object, but not get it in my inventory or credit for going there. As it turned out, the area wasn't unlocked yet. So, there were a few glitches you had to deal with.

All in all, I truly enjoyed playing this game. If I got lost (which was seldom) I could use the hint or map. It never left you hanging, not knowing where to go or what to do. Just use your common sense. I haven't had this much fun playing a game in a long time.

Thank you devs for a job well done. I look forward to your future games. I know you will only improve as you go. You are definitely on the right tract to what we need. And thank you BFG for offering it. Show less

I recommend this game!

Nicely done. I enjoyed the game right to the end. The one item I loved the most is that the whole screen was clear. The menu, map, hint, inventory and navigation were all hidden with easy access when needed. A five star for that alone.. Voice over was great and the music was fine. The story was enjoyable and it will be a replay for me.

I recommend this game!
