Komnata Quest Central London: Doctor Frankenstein

Well known in the U.S., Komnata made it to London last year and has been steadily opening games since. Doctor Frankenstein is one of two games at their initial location on Drury Lane, and is a theme that’s impossible to describe without repeated use of the word ‘steampunk’ - while there’s an obvious inspiration from the Mary Shelley novel, the visual style owes more to the sort of Camden stall that sells darkened goggles, Victorian waistcoats and masks decorated with metal cogwheels.
