Jekyll & Hyde

About

Jekyll & Hyde is a PC adventure game that splits control between two distinct personas navigating the dark underbelly of 19th-century London. Players alternate between a doctor and his monstrous alter ego to solve puzzles and advance the story. The gameplay mixes traditional point-and-click mechanics with timed action sequences. Environmental clues tie into a plot involving secret societies and forbidden experiments. The game stands out for its integration of Greek mythology into its puzzle design. Ancient symbols and myth-based riddles thread through the investigation of London’s hidden layers. Released in 2001, its 3D engine emphasized atmospheric effects like fog and shadow to heighten tension. While the dual-character mechanic isn’t impressive, the setting’s gothic tone and mythological twists give it a niche identity among adventure titles of the early 2000s.
