Frankenstein: Beyond the Time

Frankenstein: Beyond the Time is a virtual reality discovery game set in a Victorian mansion inspired by Mary Shelley’s novel and expanded with original ideas. You search for the answer to Dr. Frankenstein’s greatest mystery by finding hidden objects, crafting and racing against time. The story grows more frightening and mysterious as you uncover more about the doctor’s experiment.

The mansion and its time loop

After Dr. Frankenstein’s death, the mansion’s items, furnishings and decorations remain intact. Old notes and sketches found throughout the house help you learn to master time. The Artifact has created a loop that affects the surroundings: anything you move returns to its former place when the loop closes. To break the loop, you must finish each stage before the Artifact activates again.

The Artifact is also described as the home of a powerful force and the place where the Monster is born. In this world, time has a life of its own and creates a place where nothing changes unless you make it. Dr. Frankenstein’s thoughts haunt you as you work to complete his last masterpiece.

Searching and crafting

The game combines a hidden-object model with interactive characters, crafting simulations and a fight against time. Its detailed, interactive scenes contain thousands of objects with sounds, from a huge whale skeleton to a tiny vial. Weather changes the lighting and reflections, and the environment becomes more dramatic as you progress. The experience includes dozens of monologues that explain the plot and build suspense, an original soundtrack, a special defensive weapon and a boss fight.

The story takes about four hours to complete and includes hundreds of square meters of scenes.
