 Sweeney Todd - Short serial publications called Penny Dreadfuls were introduced in England during the 1800s. These fictional horror stories always embraced a macabre plot and each part of the story cost one penny. The String of Pearls: A Romance was one such penny dreadful, which is actually the original story that introduces Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. A brilliant musical, one of my favorites by Stephen Sondheim, as well as a movie were based on this penny dreadful. If you’re unfamiliar, Sweeney Todd’s a vengeful barber who kills his clients by giving them a REAL CLOSE shave, then gives their bodies to his girlfriend so she can make meat pies with them. Fun! Now, on to the game. Of course, the story offers much more depth than the basic plot I’ve just described and there are side stories happening simultaneously: people and items are missing and mysteries must be solved. You’ll have several adventure quests to solve, as well as puzzles and there are a good number of hidden objects challenges, where you’ll be scouring through gritty, grubby 19th century London. Lastly, there’s some singing in this game, but it has nothing to do with the original musical (I wish it did!). You can opt to skip ahead if you want to jump right into the game. Download it
