=== Bosses ===
* Adam (voiced by TBD) - Victor's prized invention and a horrific flesh golem who grew to learn how hateful and dangerous humanity is as he begun to create his own breed of "better humans" and slowly becomes more and more of the monster that Victor believes that he is, although his primary goal is to survive.

== Gameplay ==
The game plays as a Soulslike as you play as Victor Frankenstein as you travel through Shelley. You fight enemies and collect both Aether, weapons and body parts from the enemies. Aether is used to both level you up and to help prevent body parts from rotting, weapons are used for combat and have a primary weapon attack and a secondary weapon attack and limbs can be attached from checkpoints and can be used to buff any of your stats or to give you a special ability. However, limbs rot whenever you die and when they rot, their strength depletes. Dying also causes you to lose all of your Aether as you have to retrieve it. Checkpoints are lab tables which you can use to level up and attach limbs to yourself. You are also allowed to talk to residents of Shelley and sometimes even do smaller missions for them.
