Dr. Frankenstein has been up to no good. Local villagers have quietly been disappearing for weeks, taken in the night by the Doctor’s evil assistant Igor and harvested for parts by the Doctor himself, ingredients in his mad scheme. You are one of the disappeared. Ambushed on your way home, you somehow regain consciousness in a most unexpected state – brought back to life somehow, but only in a single hand. You have no memory of how you got here. But a tiny spark in the back of your mind tells you that there’s someone out there worth returning to.
“Frankenfingers” is an homage to gothic horror. A standard text-adventure, it is unique in that it is a parser game written mainly in verse. There is some implied violence and very mild (brief) gore. No AI was used in any way in the writing or packaging of the game but several online rhyming dictionaries and thesauri were left in tatters.
