Frankenstein: Through the Eyes of the Monster is a point-and-click adventure starring Tim Curry as Dr. Frankenstein, with players controlling a newly created monster.
Scientist Phillip Werren's daughter Gabrielle is killed in unexplained circumstances and Phillip is charged with her murder and hanged by Judge Rothenbush. Dr. Frankenstein believes that life is created by a mysterious energy called "Energy L", and that a compound he has discovered called "lifestone" can be used to channel Energy L and reanimate deceased tissue. After several failed attempts at this process, he brings Phillip back to life as his monster in his laboratory. His memories hazy, Phillip explores Dr. Frankenstein's castle, collecting his notes in order to recreate the process by which he reanimates the dead. During his exploration, Phillip unknowingly releases a second Frankenstein monster from captivity and comes across another of the doctor's experiments, a talking reanimated hand called Dirt. Enraged that Phillip has been stealing his notes, Dr. Frankenstein throws him in the dungeon and tortures him.
Phillip escapes the dungeon and resumes his exploration, discovering documents which note that before his death, he had developed a protein cream that could regenerate damaged tissue. Dr. Frankenstein was funding his research, which served as the foundation for Dr. Frankenstein's discovery of Energy L. Phillip also discovers notes that connect Dr. Frankenstein to the corrupt Judge Rothenbush and reveal that Dr. Frankenstein was sexually attracted to Phillip's late wife.
Phillip confronts Dr. Frankenstein about his discoveries, but Dr. Frankenstein draws his gun and Phillip flees. He is aided in escape by Sara, a woman from a nearby village who has come to the castle to ask Frankenstein for help in finding her sister, one of several children who have gone missing throughout various villages and towns. It is revealed that Vladimir, a man who has been supplying Dr. Frankenstein with illegal materials, has been working with Judge Rothenbush and that the judge is behind the disappearances of the children, though his motives are never explained. Dr. Frankenstein is disgusted with this conspiracy and plants a bomb to kill both Vladimir and Judge Rothenbush. Phillip and Sara attempt to stop the bomb, but fail. Gabrielle, who was among the disappeared children, is killed in the explosion.
