I knew what to do to solve that particular puzzle, but could not interact with the object in order to do what needed to be done. For instance, in one scene I wanted to interact with an object on the screen. This is reminiscent of games five years old or more, but for today's market and at today's gaming prices, I would expect more.Īnother draw back to this game is that the puzzle solving itself can be frustrating. Clicking in the direction you want to travel moves your character, but the motion is not smooth scrolling instead, they chose to use a cut-scene approach. At each step in the game, you have options as to directions you can go. First off, the first person perspective is hampered by the cut-style scene changes.
Over all the game is a lot of fun, though there are some issues that you should be aware of. The game is entirely puzzle solving: put-this-here-take-that-there, cut from the Myst/Riven cloth. It is first person perspective, which I love when it is done right, and there is no combat at all (a nice change for once). The graphics are decent, and the cinematics are a lot of fun to watch. The game, as a total package, is not too bad at all. So the scene is set for Dracula: Resurrection, a first person puzzle solver from DreamCatcher Interactive. Jonathan returns home one day to find his wife, Mina, gone, with only a cryptic note asking him not to follow her - that her call from the lord of vampires is too strong, and she must answer his summons. This graphical adventure features many detailed, hand-painted backgrounds and lots of ambient sound and music to set the proper mood for such a tale of gothic horror.ĭracula lives again! Set in time after Jonathan Harker defeats Dracula, Harker tries to put the horrific events behind him, for he has ended the vampire's reign of terror. When Jonathan returns home one day to find a note from his wife saying that she's suddenly returned to Transylvania, suspicions arise that the undead Count may again rise to cause more despair in the land of the living. The story in Dracula Resurrection begins in London where heroes Jonathan and Mina have married and settled, seven years after Dracula's "final" defeat. Bram Stoker's original novel provides the background and setting for this continuation of the Dracula legend.
