Mary Shelley's Monstrous Mashups (game)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Mary Shelley's Monstrous Mashups was a narrative game published in Doctor Who The Official Annual 2021. Like all the games in the book, it tied in with a specific episode of series 12 of Doctor Who, namely The Haunting of Villa Diodati.
As the reader was invited to see themselves as the main character of the game (whom Mary Shelley addresses as "you"), the story, such as it is, is held to break the fourth wall and is not considered a valid source by this Wiki.
Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
to be added
Continuity[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Mary Shelley's claim to have witnessed "many horrors" in her life may consist of a subtle reference to her status in Big Finish's Eighth Doctor audio stories as a companion of the Eighth Doctor, for whom the events of TV: The Haunting of Villa Diodati [+]Loading...["The Haunting of Villa Diodati (TV story)"] were far from the only brush with the preternatural.
