Brilliant, I love it!

Could you please fix that by having chapter 27 be This app is amazing exclaim it's wonderful being able to choose what happens during the Frankenstein story. I have one suggestion: in the extras portion, Chapters 26 and 27 are identical, except 27 has Walton's continuation of Letter 4 at the end. Could you please fix that by having chapter 27 be just the continuation of the fourth letter, without the Chapter 23 duplicate at the beginning of the twenty-seventh chapter? Otherwise, this app is awesome and I can't wait for the update!

I prefer Shelley’s but this is ok

I adored the 80 Days game and replayed it three times, so I decided to try this one. Unfortunately, Frankenstein is much more limited and not nearly as open ended in terms of what happens and how, which limits the value of revisiting it. I also find the writing, a bit of a pastiche, less interesting than Shelley’s.

Truly in Epic Literature...

The play on words in incredible, with an array of words. The fact that you can take charge if events that may or may not take place, based on the choices you choose to portray in, are genius. A very vibrant app for those who enjoy and have a love for reading. A great buy.
