A Freaky Steampunk Frankenstein's Monster in the works? The entry is short - not more than 10min of play short, and devoid of choice. You are introduced to Opal, a disgruntled (mad?) scientist looking for love and companionship, when all her friends have found easily what she's been missing. Armed with determination and knowledge, she blindly goes down a path that may fulfill all her wishes... or may completely backfire. This is the expectation of the piece when the demo ends, at the moment Malum (the "monster") rises to life. While there is not much else to say about the story, I did want to point towards the pretty UI of this demo, with its green colour scheme, funky font, and eye-catching sprites.
From the CW, I am not sure whether it will end up my cup of tea, but the demo looks promising to check out when an update comes out.
