Escape from Frankenstein's Castle is a horror adventure hidden object game published by PlayFirst and distributed by Big Fish Games in 2010, loosely based on Frankenstein.
Hannah wakes up alone and trapped in the castle of Dr. Frankenstein with little memory after an accident and her beloved Horatio missing. Her only chance at finding a way out is to rely on the guidance of Isabella, the ghost of a previous resident.
Together, they'll uncover what malicious experimentations are being performed behind the castle walls and find a way to escape before the doctor carries out his master plan.
Escape from Frankenstein's Castle has plans for these tropes:
- Amnesiac Hero: Hannah, at the beginning of the game.
- An Arm and a Leg: Hannah finds out Dr. Frankenstein removed her badly injured arm and replaced it with another.
- Barred from the Afterlife: Isabella and Frederick are unable to move on after having been victimized by Frankenstein's experiments.
- Constructive Body Disposal: Isabella's remains were stuffed behind a wall, which Hannah discovers through the cracks.
- Crusty Caretaker: Dorian
- Friendly Ghost: Isabella, as she helps Hannah uncover the castle's secrets.
- Frankenstein's Monster: The Monster, who has been hunting down his creator even after the original story supposedly ended.
- A God Am I: Victor still has the insane drive to cheat death through his inhumane science experiments despite everything he went through after creating the Monster long ago.
- Long-Lived: Victor Frankenstein, and his wife Elena to an extent, which is achieved through Victor's research which comes at the cost of the lives of innocent victims.
- Mad Scientist: Dr. Victor Frankenstein
- Minion with an F in Evil: Dorian. Despite working for Victor Frankenstein and assisting him in his experiments, he is not only friendly to Hannah, but he convinced Victor to save her life and secretly left her tools to help her escape the lab.
- Spirit Advisor: Isabella, along with befriending Hannah, offers help to her when needed.
- Strapped to an Operating Table: Hannah was subjected to this under Victor's orders but succeeded in breaking out thanks to Dorian secretly helping her.
- The End... Or Is It?: Hannah escapes Frankenstein's castle with Horatio in tow. Though, when he wakes, something doesn't seem quite right about him...
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: The Monster unintentionally caused the motorcycle crash because he was in the middle of the road, expecting to intercept Victor.
- You're Insane!: Hannah certainly thinks this of Dr. Frankenstein's experiments and ambitions.
