A narrative adventure retelling Frankenstein from the creature's perspective, developed by La Belle Games and published by ARTE France in 2019.

The Wanderer holds modest but persistent residual revenue with strong player sentiment (84% positive across 375 reviews) and demonstrates surprising longevity for a quiet indie narrative title. The core opportunity lies in revival or licensing the IP to a publisher willing to market it to literary-adaptation and European art-game audiences; acquisition of the game itself offers thin margins but low risk. The ARTE France backing (a major European broadcaster) suggests untapped potential for cross-media adaptation or festival distribution. Most realistic play: licensing.

• Risk: Game is built on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; rights may be public domain for the novel itself, but ARTE France's involvement and any derivative character work may carry contractual constraints that complicate resale or adaptation.
• Risk: No discounts run in 12 months and zero new developer posts in ~35 months suggest the studio has deprioritized the title; player base is minimal (4 peak in last 30 days) and revival would require external marketing investment.
• Risk: Six-year-old title with no cloud save, achievements or workshop support; engine and compatibility may degrade on future OS versions without maintenance.
