Gáfica Adventure Quite Classic in terms of concept and gameplay. More than acceptable graphic Quality and puzzles of medium and medium difficulty low. It Does Not bring anything new to the genre, nor Does it have a plot that stands out for intrigue or narrative tension, although it fulfils the task.
I like the appearance of the scenarios, I think they are the strong point of this game, without being anything imposing.
Ultimately, a game rather short, quite well-decorated, and decent in the rest of sections.
6,25/10

Good Adventure in general, the story is interesting, the atmosphere very well done, starting in London and passing through different cities.
The puzzles are mostly affordable though, the classics of a graphic adventure. But then there are the puzzles of spinning fantastic gadgets to open a door, chest or whatever,... I don't like them and they abound in adventure.
As for the technical aspect all well, but it would be appreciated if I put the resolution 1920x1200, that the game will fit completely to the screen, not that is a 4:3 with black bands at the sides.
7h to finish it, good duration.

So, Game "Origin of Dracula".
A Very entertaining puzzle game, the plot of which is based on the famous novel by Bram Stoker "Dracula". If you think you're going to play for "vampire vampires," Then, alas, you are mistaken. You have to solve ingenious puzzles on behalf of Van Helsing, move around the colorful locations (London, Cairo, Vienna and, finally,-Transylvania) and interact with other characters in search of an answer to the mystery of the appearance of Dracula.
Pros: + Voice. Each character speaks The voice of a professional actor.
+ Plot. The Game is a little different from the book of Stoker and the film Coppola, but the essence remains unchanged. The Main chip-a diary, which revealed the confession of Dracula.
+ Locations. Extensive geography; The gloomy gothic moves smoothly into the atmosphere of the East and back.
+ "Food for the Mind". In The game there are such puzzles, which have a long time to think (if, of course, do not climb at once in the inet and do not look for passage).
+ No problem saving the game. The Player chooses the desired moment and saves it in a special window.
Cons:-Short game. Not enough yet at least two locations and more characters.
-In One of the levels (riddles of angels in the cemetery in London) can be a glitch: The problem is solved correctly, but there is no continuation. It is better to reload the game.
-The Main villain show Little. Van Helsing seems to be chasing him, trying to predict the next step, but catching up only at the end. It may upset the honor of Dracula.
I Recommend the game for fans of mystic-Gothic quests.
The Game is short, so 9/10.
