[[caption-width-right:300:If he calls himself Mr. Hyde...]]
'''''Jekyll & Hyde''''' is a VisualNovel made as part of the [=MazM=] video game series that reinterprets well-known works of classic literature with stylized art and gameplay. In this case, it's based on the {{Creator/Robert Louis Stevenson}} Gothic novella ''Literature/TheStrangeCaseOfDrJekyllAndMrHyde''.
Developed in 2013, the game follows each of the main players - Mr. Utterson, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - and others in the streets of Victorian London, as the mystery gradually unfolds to the reveal that [[ItWasHisSled pretty much everyone and their grandma already knows about nowadays]].
While it faithfully follows the main premise of the book, the game also expands upon the original story with additional scenes. Along the way, you solve puzzles and interact with people to piece together the whole story before reaching the tragic conclusion.
----
!!Then I shall be Mr. Seek The Tropes:
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Edward Hyde could arguably fall into that, aside from the pointed teeth and scary eyes.
* AdaptationExpansion: The game not only follows the novella blueprint, but it also provides different perspectives to expand upon details that weren't brought up in full.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Let's see...Mr. Hyde stomped on a little girl, vandalizes property on a street and bar, picks fights with civilians, [[spoiler:and murdered Sir Danvers Carew]].
* {{Backtracking}}: Players will be going through familiar locations introduced at the beginning of the game to acquire items needed to move the plot along. [[ZipMode Fortunately, there is a map to make it easier]].
* BloodFromTheMouth: [[spoiler:One scene shows Hyde with a trace of blood coming from his mouth after having used cyanide to kill himself]].
* CaneFu: [[spoiler:How Hyde killed Sir Danvers Carew]].
* ChaseScene: In one scene as Hyde, he chases Mr. Danvers Carew down the street before going for the kill.
* ChromosomeCasting: Downplayed. While the main characters played are unquestionably male, there are some female characters you can talk to to get information, such as the maid Sally Tucker.
* DestroyTheEvidence: [[spoiler: After learning the AwfulTruth about Dr. Jekyll and his connections to Mr. Hyde along with the events that transpired from this, Utterson deemed the knowledge too terrible to tell authorities, so he had the paper burn in the fireplace]].
* DisproportionateRetribution: Edward Hyde attacks a little girl just because she bumped into him by accident.
* DownerEnding: Like in the original story, Mr. Utterson is unable to save his friend, Dr. Jekyll, and both Jekyll and Hyde have perished by their own hand.
* EasterEgg: In one of the locations, you can find a poster vaguely similar to posters for ''The Phantom of the Opera'' musical. It's also nods to [=MazM=] having created a game based on Leroux's novel of the same name.
* FemmeFatalons: Hyde sports some, but never uses them for violence.
* FixedCamera: The game is set at a diagonal angle.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: When Lanyon witnesses Hyde's transformation into Dr. Jekyll because of the concoction, the poor doctor's mind cracks from sheer horror. [[spoiler:The horror kills him later]].
* HairTriggerTemper: Hyde gets annoyed or angered very quickly over the slightest provocations, such as getting bumped by accident, the barkeep's quality of drink, and the conversation with Danvers Carew.
* JekyllAndHyde: Pretty much the staple for this game, transformation drug and all.
* MiniGame: Players will engage in minigames that involve puzzle-solving, entering codes, etc.
* NoNameGiven: Averted with a few supporting characters - the maid who witnessed the murder of Sir Carew is named Sally Tucker, and a police officer is named Mr. Newcomen.
* NoodleIncident: The game averts this somewhat by allowing players to step into Mr. Hyde's shoes and see what malicious antics he gets into. While the book doesn't go into detail about what Hyde does while he's out before the murder, the game lets players roleplay Hyde attacking the little girl, causing trouble at a bar, [[spoiler:and chasing and killing Sir Danvers Carew]].
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Hyde displays red eyes when he gets dangerous, though it's not as noticeable when he's in his best moods.
* TheScottishTrope: The moment Utterson brought up Jekyll's name, Lanyon immediately interrupts, demanding him not to speak his name.
* ShoutOut: Talking to Jekyll's guest in one scene has him mention Creator/RobertLouisStevenson and three of his works - ''Treasure Island'', ''The Body Snatcher'' and ''Olalla''.
** Another of Jekyll's guest talks about Creator/JulesVerne and his book ''Around the World in Eighty Days'' as he ponders if it really is possible to pull off such a feat.
* StoryBranching: The story branches between the main players - Mr. Utterson, Edward Hyde, and Dr. Jekyll - as players unravel the details of the plot.
* TruerToTheText: The game follows the original novella very closely for the most part.
* UncannyValley: Well, if someone thinks a short pale man with red eyes and an evil personality is uncanny, then it's no wonder people are afraid of him.
* VictorianLondon: Where the game setting takes place.
* VillainInAWhiteSuit: Downplayed and subverted; Dr. Jekyll wears a white suit, but he doesn't present himself as an evil person.
* WouldHurtAChild: Hyde had no qualms about trampling on a little girl for accidentally bumping into him.
* YearX: Averted. The game provides an exact year date and month, just not the day.
