Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde: The Strange Case

About

Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde: The Strange Case is a point-and-click adventure game that layers puzzle-solving over Robert Louis Stevenson’s gothic tale. You play Gabriel Utterson, investigating the mysterious connection between the respectable Dr. Jekyll and the monstrous Mr. Hyde. Progress unfolds through hidden-object scenes, inventory-based puzzles, and dialogue choices. The gameplay leans heavily on atmospheric set pieces and classic mystery tropes, with a focus on uncovering secrets through visual searches and logical deductions. The game’s strength lies in its faithful adaptation of the source material, translating Stevenson’s psychological tension into interactive sequences. While the 2011 release date shows its age, community reviews note it remains a solid entry in the adventure genre, with a 82/100 average from 100 user ratings. The PC-exclusive format and single-player design make it a niche pick for fans of literary-inspired puzzles, though its mechanics feel dated compared to modern titles.
