What players say
I'd probably only pick this up on sale or in a bundle, but it was pretty good. Nothing super original or groundbreaking, but if you like Dracula and point and click adventures, then this is a solid game.
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
If you are a Dracula fan, this game is worth a try. The atmosphere, the story and the characters remind me of the novel by Bram Stoker. Some riddles are a bit hard, but overall I recommend this game, especially when on sale.
It's FINE but the last quarter really devolves into a pixel hunt, there's a lot of puzzles that aren't clear how to solve (some of which would've been way simpler if they gave you a better item that represented the task required) It's decent, but slow paced. the puzzles are mostly good, the voice acting and story are OK, if i could give it a 'sure, on sale, or if you REALLY WANT A point-and-click' that's it...
