Evaluation
The Wanderer: Frankenstein's Creature launched on October 30, 2019 as a self-contained narrative adventure game. Post-launch developer activity was limited to bug fixes and quality-of-life patches in the weeks after release, followed by the addition of Chinese, Japanese, and Polish language support on June 25, 2020. There are no DLC listings, no announced expansions, and no roadmap for future content. The game has no season pass or live service structure. The most recent developer news post (October 19, 2023) was a publisher-wide anniversary sale announcement celebrating ARTE's 10 years in games — it referenced future unspecified games from the publisher broadly, not any new content for this title specifically. The game was released as a complete, standalone narrative experience and received only maintenance and localization updates after launch. No further content has been announced or shipped since mid-2020.

About this game
Play as the Creature, a wanderer without memory or past, a virgin spirit in a completely fabricated body. To forge the destiny of this artificial being who is ignorant of both Good and Evil, you will have to explore the vast world and experience joy and sorrow.
Dr. Frankenstein's founding myth is once again revealed in all its glory through the innocent eyes of his creature. A thousand miles from the horror stories, here is a sensitive wander in the shoes of a pop icon.
Imbued with a dark romanticism, the game's universe draws its astonishing beauty from 19th century paintings. Through evolving landscapes, the boundary between reality and fiction fades and the novel comes to life. Powerful and original, the soundtrack highlights the Creature's feelings of wanderlust.
One choice after another, feel your way towards your destiny. Confronted with humans, you will no longer be able to escape the question of your origins. Who gave you life? This introspective quest will take you on an adventure across Europe. Bitter or pleasant, your experiences will bring you closer to the truth. Will you be ready to face it?
The Wanderer: Frankenstein's Creature is the new video game from La Belle Games, co-produced and published by ARTE, the cultural European TV and digital channel.
- Rediscover a pop culture icon through 18 paintings, in a point & click narrative game
