What’d you think?: This game is set directly after the events of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, which I assume is why everyone has bizarre names like Dorko and Iorga. I cannot understand the basis for making damn near every screen in this game washed-out and dark and blurry, leading to some very tedious pixel-hunting in this point-and-click adventure game. The puzzles are never interesting or challenging, and mostly consist of matching shapes together like a toy for developing infant minds. The overacting in the cutscenes is enjoyable, but most of the people grotesque, save for a trio of vampire ladies, concubines of Dracula, I believe, clad in some silk netting, but little else, earning this game its M rating in just a single cutscene. This is all to say there’s no reason to play this game.
