Comments:
This is a two part game with the player controlling Jonathan Harker. In the first part you must escape the castle before the sun comes up or you are killed by deadly spiders and in the second part you must lure Nosferatu into Lucy's bedroom and then kill him. There are items to collect along the way that will help you out later on. The graphics are good, especially the colour scheme changing as the sun comes up or depending on how much light is in the room. The isometric view does cause problems though, not just with the controls but you also find youself getting stuck behind objects you can't yet see. All in all a good fun adventure game, the ability to save your progress really helps. Well worth a try.
