''Frankenstein'' is a RoomEscapeGame released by [=PuzzleSpace=] for Android and iOS in 2019. It is a [[AdaptationInspiration very loose retelling]] of the famous horror novel ''Literature/{{Frankenstein}}'' by Mary Shelley.

The prologue starts with a young Victor Frankenstein witnessing a public demonstration of his father's research to bring the dead back to life. Unknown to them, the experiment has been tampered with, leading to a massive failure and the downfall of the Frankenstein family. Victor then swore to finish his father's research and obtain the recognition they deserve.

The story proper starts with chief police detective Eva Schmitz encountering multiple mysterious cases, which seem to be connected to the mysterious organization Aegyptus. In addition, Elizabeth Lavenza, the daughter of the victims of one of the cases, seem to be wandering around with an agenda of her own.

----
!!''Frankenstein'' provides examples of:
* ActionGirl: Elizabeth is a skilled fencer. In one scene, using her wits and fencing skills she manages to save Stoneboy from a gang of pirates by herself.
* AdaptationInspiration: A scientist named Victor Frankenstein created an artificial humanoid monster. That's about the only thing this story has in common with the original novel. Oh, and some characters have the same names as characters in the novel.
* BackFromTheDead: The executed Huxley came back as a humanoid monster with [[IdentityAmnesia no memory]].
* BigBad: Samuel, the leader of Aegyptus. He killed the Lavenza couple and framed Huxley for it, thus starting the conflict of the story.
* DecoyProtagonist: The first two chapters follow Schmitz as she encounters various cases. But afterwards you play as different characters, with Schmitz only occasionally being the center character of the scene. [[spoiler: Then she dies at the end of chapter 5, disappearing from the story afterwards]]. The real protagonists of the story are Elizabeth and Huxley.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Samuel, the leader of Aegyptus, employed Victor Frankenstein to create a new body for him to live forever in. Victor didn't want to follow the order, so he used the body to revive Huxley instead in hope he can stop Samuel's plans. [[spoiler: Turns out the part about Victor is a lie, as Samuel and Victor are the same person all along.]]
* ImmortalitySeeker: Samuel wants to transfer his mind from his aging body into a new, stronger body so that he can live forever.
* MemoryGambit: [[spoiler: Victor transferred his brain from his aging body to the Creature's body, knowing he would lose his memories. He left hints to lead the Creature to Babel together with Elizabeth, recovering his memory, and live for eternity. This bites him back in the ass when the "Huxley" identity doesn't disappear even when Victor's memories come back, causing the Creature to have two personalities.]]
* OnceMoreWithClarity: In general, the early chapters introduce the mysteries by having Schmitz investigate cases and other characters. Later chapters show the same events but from the other characters' perspectives, clarifying what they really are doing.
** In chapter 1, Schmitz encounters a case where someone has broken through a morgue. In chapter 3, you play as the revived Huxley breaking through the morgue. The same thing happens with the Neumann office case.
** One scene has Schmitz tails Elizabeth as she goes around wandering the city for some reason. Later you play as Elizabeth wandering around the city, as she's looking for clues to Henry's whereabouts.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Schneider only appeared in one scene in the prologue. Yet, him tampering with Alphonse Frankenstein's experiment is basically what throws the entire plot into motion.
* SuperStrength: Huxley's revived body is huge and very powerful. He killed an unfortunate hunter in just one punch.
* StarCrossedLovers: Elizabeth is a wealthy noble lady, Huxley is a poor painter. Her parents don't approve of their relationship, which allegedly causes Huxley to murder them.
* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler: The very last scene of the game, after the credits roll, is Victor reuniting with his family in the afterlife]].
* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler: The Creature you've been following isn't Huxley at all, but an amnesiac Victor who transferred his brain into the monster's body]].
