Game Adaptation
The plot of the serial was adapted into a puzzle video game by Playpond. Entitled Penny Dreadfuls: Sweeney Todd.
In the game the player assumes the role of the London watch, investigating numerous recent disappearances (Sweeney Todd's victims). Including the sailor, Mark. In each chapter the player must investigate several locations in London. Trying to find certain pieces of evidence on the whereabouts of the recently vanished, as well as objects required to further advance the chapter. Once every piece of evidence in each level is found, the player must put together a torn up portrait in order to continue. This, along with other puzzles in the game, has the option of skipping although it deducts score. Once the chapter is completed, a cutscene consisting of scrolling storyboards plays acting as a transition for the next chapter.
The game also includes original songs in vein of the musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Other than this, the plot and style remains largely unchanged from its source material.

Famous quotes containing the words game and/or adaptation:
“The family environment in which your children are growing up is different from that in which you grew up. The decisions our parents made and the strategies they used were developed in a different context from what we face today, even if the “content” of the problem is the same. It is a mistake to think that our own experience as children and adolescents will give us all we need to help our children. The rules of the game have changed.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“The real security of Christianity is to be found in its benevolent morality, in its exquisite adaptation to the human heart, in the facility with which its scheme accommodates itself to the capacity of every human intellect, in the consolation which it bears to the house of mourning, in the light with which it brightens the great mystery of the grave.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
