It was never about Frankenstein, it was more about Frankenstein's monster since that is who everyone seems to focus on and we're doing it again in Escape From Castle Frankenstein. In another take on the classic tale, the doctor has succeeded in creating a creature similar to an altered human. The thing is that this altered human has no desire to stick around the castle to be experimented on and wants to see the world. He'll need to get out of the castle before he can do that though and that's where you come into the picture. Help the monster escape the castle!

About Escape From Castle Frankenstein

Frankenstein's monster has been depicted in various ways, but sometimes he can be seen as very cartoon-like. This game wants to show the fun and zany angle of the monster and turn him into the hero. He just needs to use all his strength gained from the experimentation to explore the castle and find a way out. The Frankensteins did very well for themselves and the castle is proof of that based on how huge it is. It's also quite dangerous for the average person so it's a good thing that you're a resilient monster. But, are you also determined?

How to Play

Escape From Castle Frankenstein is a 2D platform adventure game about Frankenstein's monster that you play with the keyboard.

The goal is to escape Frankenstein's castle. Though the monster looks tough, he can't take much damage and only has a limited number of lives as shown in the top left corner. If he runs out of lives, it's game over.

When the game begins, the monster will spawn by an open door in the level. He needs to explore the level to find a golden key and then take it to the exit door. While exploring, he'll need to avoid various dangers, traps, and pitfalls that will take a life on contact. There will also be different platforms such as crumbling rocks and moving platforms to help navigate the area. When the monster loses a life, it warps back to the start of the level. Keep completing levels until you encounter the boss who stands between you and your freedom.

Tips and Tricks

The platforming in this game can be quite fast and slippery so you'll need to be careful as you move around the smaller platforms. Traps like saws can move fast and cover more space than they appear so don't risk jumping too close to them. Some levels will have you go back and forth so try to recall the safest path on the return journey.
