Games Like The Life and Times of Daniel Vastberaden

The Life and Times of Daniel Vastberaden (p. 1906) is a biography of the New York mechanical engineer and inventor written by author Bernadette Brooks. The book is notable for the first public discussion of Daniel's beheading and his miraculous survival in the winter of 1862, which he had concealed from all but two people until his second death in 1901. It primarily focuses on his home life, family, and philosophy, and features many excerpts from his diary, the main source of Bernadette's research.

This adaptation follows the 1913 publishing, the last to keep mention of homosexuality and to maintain its biographical status, with all later printings being labeled as fiction. Chapter introductions feature an abridged excerpt from the book, and chapters are largely in the first-person. Chapters can be played in any order, and can be skipped. Collect and use items, solve puzzles, carry conversation, and don't be afraid to use your head.
