Genre and what to do:
Adventure game. Dracula: Origin provides you with an exciting storyline which is based on the novel. The game tells you the story about Professor Abraham Van Helsing, who is the main protagonist. At the beginning of the game he receives a letter from Harker (who is been kept at Castle Dracula). The Professor sets out to save Harker and fiancée Mina. There is a hunt for a book called the Demonomicon of Wliwggi, and the recovery of it will release the evil spirits on the world. With the game progress you will visit Egypt and Transylvania trying to sniff out clues, searching for useful items. As for the gameplay, it follows the usual adventure game with point and click mechanics, with a third person view. The game introduces puzzles which you face from time to time. I can't say that they are very interesting and challenging, most of the players will not enjoy solving them.
Style and atmosphere inside the game:
Dracula: Origin features superb cinematic representation due to which the gameplay becomes even more challenging. The game adds lots of exciting locations and 3 D characters to make the play unforgettable. The players will really enjoy watching the game. As for its sound system, you will listen to quite atmospheric audio, which suits the overall action. The game is not very easy to play for novice players in the respect of both its control system and game tasks as well.
