How to Play Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
Quick start
Select Frankenstein if a compilation menu appears, begin a new game and study the first scene's viewpoint. Test movement and the available action before approaching a hazard.
Controls
Use the D-pad to guide the creature according to the active viewpoint. Use the displayed action and attack controls for nearby objects or threats; check the control guide when the perspective changes.
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein — About this game
This Sega CD adaptation follows the creature from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein through danger and rejection. It uses several perspectives, including isometric and side-on scenes, rather than simply reproducing one cartridge game's platform layout. The viewpoint changes how movement and the distance to a hazard should be judged. Explore each scene, recognise threats and use the actions available to the creature to continue. The title was distributed in a bundle with Bram Stoker's Dracula, so selecting the Frankenstein part matters when starting from compilation media.
