About

An cancelled action-adventure game that was developed by Go-Go Interactive Studios and Cyberdreams studios, taking inspiration the novel/film The Incredible Shrinking Man, and is set in a universe reminiscent of 1950's science-fiction and horror movies. The player would have controlled a private investigator looking for a wealthy young woman named Julia Caldwell, who vanished after visiting the castle of a mad scientist named Dr. Warren Franklin, who would use a shrinking ray on the hero. The gameplay would have had the hero venturing through Dr. Franklin's castle, fighting dangers such as animals and heights along the way, of which grow smaller and smaller after each level.
