The Wanderer: Frankenstein’s Creature

This or the recent movie, both good, beautiful and descriptive of the original story. The game is not really a game, not really much to do besides advancing the story, but worth trying. Get your facts together about Frankenstein.

Frankenstein's Creature by Mary Shelley has a pure tragic life (or afterlife ?). He was 'born' and sent to the world against his will, with a disturbing body and face, created by pieces of different corpses, like a patchwork sewn by Victor Frankenstein. Feared by everyone while his heart and soul are pure and profoundly kind. Every humans he meets see only his face, his physical features, not his kindness and craving for love and acceptance, joy, peace, knowledge, art... The 'Creature' is an angel sent to Earth to witness the evil in humans (especially in men, as women can relate to his experiences and sufferings, but this is another topic). This amazing game shows us every tragic aspects of the novel and makes it obvious, for, maybe, the few people who weren't understanding that the 'Creature' is the true innocent victim of the heartbreaking story, created by Mary Shelley in 1818. The musics, the graphics and colors reflecting the 'Creature' mental states and emotions... My heart broke while reading the original novel, my heart broke when watching some cinema adaptations, my heart broke while reading essays and understanding the multiple meanings of this story and characters... finally, my heart broke and my eyes cried when I played this game, even if I knew what was coming. The 'Creature' is the only human there, the others are the monsters and the embodiements of human cruelty. Remember that.

[h2]有些事容不得追问，有些问题容不得细想[/h2] 你因谁而存在，又因何而存在？若你于世不容，是该责问你的造物者还是该归咎于自身的缺陷？ 《弗兰肯斯坦》之所以能够在两个世纪后仍然不断被重新讲述，或许正因为玛丽·雪莱留下的从来不只是一个关于“怪物”的故事，而是一连串关于创造、责任、孤独与存在的追问。这款由《弗兰肯斯坦》改编而来的游戏，尽管其游戏性有所欠佳，但仍然延伸了那些最核心最古老的发问：我是谁，我从哪里来，我要往何处去？ 由小说改编而来的游戏创造出来的画面和音乐很好地弥补了小说纯文本形式的缺憾，添加的分支选项更是提升了玩家的代入感和沉浸感，也让其引发的问题更加深邃而有切肤之痛。 [h3]什么是好的选择？[/h3] 如你被他人恶意对待，是否可还之以同样的恶意？或许更令人绝望的问题其实是，当你被他人善意相待，却给不出善意之时，你的自觉有愧是否会加深你对这个世界、对自我的憎恶？ 游戏的美术呈现极具表现力，自然与音乐的流动相得益彰，但作为异类行走在这世间，摆脱不掉的是满目疮痍的悲凉，这美好的世间，漂亮的海角，幽蓝静谧的夜晚，于你有什么关系？ 于是只剩下那个最后的问题： [b]如果痛苦是你对这个世界所知的全部，那么你究竟会为了摆脱它，走到哪一步？[/b] [hr][/hr] + 美术音乐俱佳 + 选项产生影响 + 改编适度 - 中文字体选择欠佳，有割裂感 - 中文机翻，部分词句难以理解 - 无存档位，或许可理解为有意为之，好在流程并不长

刚打完一个结局，立马就去看小说，先把新出的那部电影看完了。雪莱的这篇故事在我看完电影之后阅读应该会更有氛围感，电影里总体上就是暗色调、苍凉和血色。而这部游戏又是干净温暖明亮的，它的悲伤用白色覆盖，让我想起来那句“白茫茫大地真干净”。一切从虚无开始，最终我选择接受命运走向虚无。剧情上并没有完全呈现故事的前因后果，而是聚焦于怪物迷茫行走于人类世界所收获的情感，从不解、痛苦到安详，之后又接受更大的不解和痛苦。游戏的视角让我这个无知的旁观者带入到同样无知的怪物，新奇地接触森林和生灵，渴望被接纳却被人类否定、拒绝和伤害。所以说这部改编的游戏画面和情感衬托和渲染上是很细腻的，想要体会剧情推荐看小说和电影，电影看得隐隐是有想流泪的冲动。

A sometimes awkward, but touching take on a well-known work, even with new ideas worthy of being part of this story.

I loved the story, the artwork, the music, the character, and everything about this game.
