Critically acclaimed interactive gamebook Frankenstein gets a 200th anniversary update

Ever read through Frankenstein and wished you could jump into the pages? Well, now you can as inkle helps to bring a new expansion to the classic tale just in time for its 200th anniversary.

You'd probably have to travel to the deepest depths of the earth to find someone who hadn't heard of Frankenstein, but as of this week you can enjoy the timeless story with some new features.

This update also includes a new section by prize-winning poet and writer, Fiona Sampson, about Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein, and touches on her life and how the iconic novel came to be.

inkle's narrative director, Jon Ingold, describes the experience, "It is still Frankenstein, but as you play your relationship with the good Doctor and his monster changes depending on how you react, as though a great storyteller was sitting in front of you, telling the story as you watch and gasp, laugh, and shudder."

You can grab the updated app on the App Store for £2.99/$2.99.
