Gameplay
The game is played through the perspective of the Beast. As the Beast, the player must get Belle to fall in love with him so that the curse cast upon him and his castle will be broken. The final boss of the game is Gaston, a hunter who attempts to steal Belle from the Beast. As the Beast, the player fights their way through the castle and the surrounding woods, battling sentient objects and forest creatures. The beast is able to use his claws to attack and is able to roar to stun enemies and activate platforming components. The gameplay is divided into short stages, with a score attributed to each stage.
