## What is The Wanderer?

A fresh look at the myth of Frankenstein
Play as the Creature, a wanderer without memory or past, a virgin spirit in a completely fabricated body. To forge the destiny of this artificial being who is ignorant of both Good and Evil, you will have to explore the vast world and experience joy and sorrow.
Dr. Frankenstein's founding myth is once again revealed in all its glory through the innocent eyes of his creature. A thousand miles from the horror stories, here is a sensitive wander in the shoes of a pop icon.
 
A breathtaking artistic direction
Imbued with a dark romanticism, the game's universe draws its astonishing beauty from 19th century paintings. Through evolving landscapes, the boundary between reality and fiction fades and the novel comes to life. Powerful and original, the soundtrack highlights the Creature's feelings of wanderlust.
 
Explore your emotions and write your story
One choice after another, feel your way towards your destiny. Confronted with humans, you will no longer be able to escape the question of your origins. Who gave you life? This introspective quest will take you on an adventure across Europe. Bitter or pleasant, your experiences will bring you closer to the truth. Will you be ready to face it?

### 3/5 — Leider buggy

*2026-06-13*

Bei der iPad Adaption haben sich leider ein paar Bugs eingeschlichen. Auf dem Friedhof mit der Urne, die man wieder mitnehmen kann und in Originem wird trotz einem Dutzend mal den Raum ablaufen und alles ansehen, der Tresor nicht aktiv. Nun geht es nicht mehr weiter. Ansonsten sehr schön gemalt und beruhigende Musik. Die religiösen Aspekte ignoriere ich weg.

### 5/5 — Wunderschön und Traurig

*2026-05-07*

Wunderschönes Spiel! Tolle Grafik, schöne Musik und eine ruhige Erzählung, die einen trotzdem fesselt. Sehr traurige Geschichte, aber mit wichtiger Botschaft. Ich kann es nur empfehlen.

### 5/5 — This game is a work of art!

*2026-02-01*

Set in a beautiful watercolour world with a new take of a great story this is a fantastic game that feels like a dream. Good and different and working perfectly on my device. Thanks for this great game!

### 3/5 — Hängt

*2026-01-28*

Es reagiert sehr langsam, was echt nervt. Im Labor geht’s nicht weiter, weil man nicht alle Namen anklicken kann. Keine Hilfefunktion. Die Story an sich ist kaum zu beeinflussen. Echt Misst, für Geld besseres erwartet!

### 5/5 — шикарно

*2025-12-31*

это скорее история, в которой ты можешь побыть ее создателем, раскрывая ее на каждом шагу. невероятное путешествие с завораживающей графикой и музыкой

### 5/5 — 🤍

*2025-03-02*

Jogo maravilhosooo demaisss!♥️ Mas fiquei triste com o final 🥲🥺

### 3/5 — Ein animiertes Bilderbuch

*2024-11-15*

Grafisch sehr ansprechend gestaltet, erzählt das Spiel eine Geschichte von Einsamkeit gespickt mit Anspielungen an Religion, Mystik und Literatur, ohne dabei in die Tiefe zu gehen oder zu einer Aussage zu kommen. Musikalisch sowie spielerisch bietet es wenige Facetten oder Interaktionsmöglichkeiten. Auf allen Ebenen nicht sehr detailreich, dafür ruhig und entspannend.
Die Texte der Dialoge oder Anweisungen passen manchmal nicht komplett in den sichtbaren Bereich und sind ab und zu nicht fehlerfrei. Zu lösende Aufgaben/Spiele sind sehr einfach.

### 1/5 — Boring

*2024-05-12*

Legit wasted my money on this

### 1/5 — Not very happy with it

*2024-04-24*

Artwork was nice, music was nice, plot sucked.

### 3/5 — Not sure how a feel about it

*2024-04-16*

I just finished playing through this for the first time, I enjoyed how it portrays creature and his search for why he was made, the artwork was lovely as was the music. What caused me to have mixed feeling about this game is the ending, or the three or four sections before the ending, i personally very much disliked creatures meeting with Merry Shelley as it did not—at least in my opinion—work with the plot. Now I would like to say I have only played this once, i don’t know if there are different endings based off your choices or if it’s just one ending, I’ll be playing it again at some point and I plan on changing my review if this time around gets a better ending. All in all a good game, just needed a better ending.

Also it would be very interesting if you where to make a version of this game but from Victor Frankensteins perspective.
