I've been wracking my mind over this for some time, trying to come up with other alternatives to the first idea I had in mind... which was to turn this into a shooter. I didn't want the inevitable comparisons to BioShock, but at the end of the day, this is all I could conceive.

But all of that being said, it's a great adventure story with a hint (or a dozen) of social conscience. Better yet, it gave us the man himself, Captain Nemo.
I've been going over how one can adapt the novel into video game format. With The Invisible Man, it's easy to know what direction to go with, it speaks for itself. But this? Let me ask you this...
