Adventuring after darkĪs you gain control the misty moonlight picks out the shape of the Golden Crown Inn before you and the leafless trees cast their eerie shadows across the gleaming snow. It's a promising beginning, and it only gets better. The introductory movie is excellent crisp, clear and chilling, and the use of letters (following Stoker's original) as a story telling device altogether sets the scene for Dracula (resurrection). Jonathan scribbles a note to his friend, Seward, keeping him up with the news and immediately heads off on the trail of his wife where you will direct his next hair-raising adventure. In her letter Mina explains how she was overcome by an irresistible urge to return to Transylvania and had no choice but to set off right away. He arrives home one evening to find Mina missing and a letter waiting for him. The game begins seven years later when Jonathan's worst fears are confirmed. or does he? Though the puncture marks fade on Mina's neck Jonathan isn't convinced that his vile foe is gone forever. Dracula's fate is sealed as he fizzles in a burst of flame.
