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 word adaptation:
“In youth the human body drew me and was the object of my secret and natural dreams. But body after body has taken away from me that sensual phosphorescence which my youth delighted in. Within me is no disturbing interplay now, but only the steady currents of adaptation and of sympathy.”
—Haniel Long (1888–1956)
