'Being Human' game released on Facebook

Being Human has been given a game on Facebook.

Created by Zodiak Active, the free-to-play title features role-playing and social elements, and is supported by in-game micro-transactions for virtual goods.

Developed in conjunction with creator Toby Whithouse, it uses scriptwriters from the show to create storylines and dialogue within the game.

"The Being Human social game will build upon the creative inspiration of the TV drama and allow players to take the roles of vampire, werewolf and ghost in compelling new storylines that they will play, rather than watch," said Zodiak Active's senior vice president Edward Humphrey.



"The game is a mix of exploration, combat and problem-solving that immerses users into an intriguing world of supernatural creatures that exist just beyond the surface of everyday life."

Touchpaper Television's managing director Rob Pursey added: "The game takes Being Human into a whole new dimension. It's been a genuine creative collaboration with Zodiak Active, so I'm confident that fans of the show will really warm to it."

Being Human will return for a fourth season next year.
