Dracula Awakens

sehr schönes Spiel Ein Dracula der beißt, ein wunderschönes Schloss mit spannender Musik und guten Aufgaben. Bis jetzt bin ich erstmal durch das Schloss gelaufen und es hat mich schon glücklich gemacht. ich hab mich auch zweimal erschrocken,weil auf einmal eine Fledermaus oder Geist vor mir war. ja und Dracula kommt immer. hinter dir, vor dir, neben dir. Also schon cool wenn man Dracula Fan ist!

Alleine der Retro Style macht schon viel her. Finde es ein gelungenes Spiel.Konnte zwar noch nicht entkommen soweit bin ich noch nicht aber eins kann ich schon mal sagen Gänsehautfeeling an so manchen Stellen garantiert.Dreht euch mal kurz zur Seite und auf einmal steht Dracula neben euch und bringt euch ins Jenseits :-) doch nicht nur das auch von seinen Frauen werdet ihr gejagt,Fledermäuse und Gespenster.Als Waffe zu Anfang eure Kamera die natürlich gegen Dracula nichts bewirkt :-) Auch wie der Entwickler beschreibt unter 2 Stunden machbar.Kein Problem,ein Spiel für kleines Geld,düstere Atmosphäre und ich WILL entkommen :-) Macht euch doch einfach selbst ein Bild https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HKQBPjkf-Q&feature=youtu.be

First of all I wanna make clear that this is not a bad game, it's an all right soft horror game with a heavy focus on puzzles. However considering the review score on steam was 100% until that point, I don't think this game is that good, and especially as a survival horror game which the store page calls it, it fails in my opinion because of the following reasons: -opening door cutscenes (just like in RE1) are so annoying, I feel like half of my game time was watching those -you start with a lot of ammo for your "gun" but then don't find any more ammo during the game -barely contains combat, more puzzle focused -all (regular) enemies die from one shot -when you get hurt by regular enemies, you can simply save in a save room, return to menu and reload the save which then for some reason heals you back to 100% hp -only 1 save slot, also because of that and because the game overwrites your save file at a point where you already made your choice, you have to play through the game at least 2 times to get all endings (which is isn't a big deal though as the game is quite short) -2 boss enemies roam around the entire map which insta kill you on contact, one is unkillable and one takes a lot of shots to be killed

Muito bom, tem um grande potencial!

An ok PS1 horror game but it does have a few annoyances such as the intro part of the game where you are the servant and basically walk around and do tasks but I found myself lost quite often on that part as the servant girl says to go to this place next but never mentions where. I wandered around for a while looking for the basement of the mansion before realizing that it was literally a pit beneath your feat as soon as you walk into a door. The intro could of benefited from an quest arrow above your head pointing in which direction to go. Another thing I don't get on that part is why is there a quit button next to the insert crystal button for the portal? I accidentally clicked it without realizing in the recording lol and though something bugged. Graphically the game was pretty good and going onto the main story you can immediately leave to get one ending or progress further into the mansion. The puzzles were ok and not too hard the only issue I had on this part was wondering where the items go next the further I went into the story as the mansion is quite large and I recommend looking at everything as I got lost for awhile before figuring stuff out. Enemies in the game are really not that much of a threat if you can photograph them but Dracula himself can be easy to avoid if you see him first but he is pretty fast. Other than that is was an ok game nothing too crazy its just a simplistic horror game where enemies chase you around when they see you and solving puzzles. full game + ending https://youtu.be/QlVifTdTKDY?si=90YAp__BK1F9jyH1

A delightful gem of an indie game that's a few hours well spent for just a few bucks. This game has become an easy recommendation for my friends and I had a great time playing through. The Great: 1. The Aesthetics and Atmosphere are top notch. The low-poly models give everything a wonderful retro vibe and the spritework is delightful. I loved to just walk around and soak in each room as I paced through the Intro and even took a few minutes to stop and sketch some of my favorite details. Each room of the castle, complete with their own furnishings and aesthetics, are delightful to take in and there are so many fun little sinister details as you soak in the surroundings. 2. The initial feeling of exploring the castle combined with the tension created by the game environment. There are a lot of really subtle effects that go a long way in creating a bit of tension as you first explore the castle. The floors seemingly shift beneath your feet. You hear random creaks and laughter from uncertain directions. You don't know what's behind each imposing door, opening them to an abyss and a howling crack each time. You don't have much direction---you have to find a jacket of someone who went missing and you have some initial knowhow of the castle from playing through the introduction---and this lack of direction plays into the exploration and puzzle solving so well. Piecing together each solution completely by your own wit is a delight and satisfying. That all being said, I do have a few critiques. They aren't major issues, I still enjoyed my time quite a lot, but I want to give some feedback to the developer and post a few things that might help out folks stuck on a couple of puzzles. 1. I think there needs to be a stamina bar for running or something to make Dracula and Lilith more of a threat. I really enjoyed the initial tension of running into them and trying to run away but after a few times, the surprise wore off and I realized just how easy it was to get away from them by holding the shift key down. Not only do you have infinite stamina, you can sprint in all directions, meaning you can run away and look at them to see where they're trying to go at the same time. Something to limit how often the player can run or to give Dracula and Lilith some better pathfinding or something could go a long way in keeping that initial tension going. 2. Some of the puzzles are a bit ambiguous in ways that players might struggle with. I think a certain level of ambiguity needs to be present for players to have some challenge and fun solving these puzzles, but some feel disjointed with how the clues are presented. For instance, if the player inspects the painting of Dracula near the entrance of the castle (which is somewhat easy to miss if you don't look), they note how it could probably be taken down with "something strong." I interpreted this as needing to use a crowbar or some sort of tool, but the actual solution is a flask of acid you get after feeding the courtyard plant and finding a bottle in the dorms. When I got the acid, I didn't go back to the painting of Dracula until I ran out of every other puzzle I could solve and then finally realized I needed to use it. This could just be an issue with how I thought of the clue, but I think a better one might be something about the painting looking thin or easily melted or something might clue in the player a bit better once they get the bottle of acid while still keeping things ambiguous. Another puzzle I had a bit of an odd time solving was the courtyard puzzle. The poem hinting at the paintings' order seems a bit disjointed with how you have to put them in (Valley-->Dark-->Dark-->Moon), I think there could have been something better written for it. Also, I kinda wish the clue was more about the sprite of the painting you see by looking at it in your inventory, rather than just spelling it out with the titles. (Maybe it is and I'm too obtuse to get it). I wound up just brute forcing the order once I had each frame to actually solve the puzzle, which didn't take too long thankfully. I accidentally solved the clock puzzle when I got to it. I am not sure what clue indicates it but the correct time is 4:40 (or something at 4:00, I don't remember the minutes exactly) if anyone is struggling too much. I thought the time would be 4:20pm because of the letters from the servants and the other weed jokes, but I was wrong. I'm not sure what other time-related clues there are to help people because I just kinda fluked through it my first go around, but I could see it being a stumbling block for a lot of players. That said, I think the rest of the puzzle design is great, and even these issues aren't too major. 3. I found the ghosts to be a bit frustrating at times. There aren't too many of them and you have enough meds to just kinda tank them if you need to, but they tended to kinda bump into me from out of nowhere a bit too often and their audio clues seemed a bit janky/inconsistent. 4. I wish the camera had a few more uses. I wish the photos you take could be viewed later as a means for keeping track of puzzles or just to take in-game pictures---this game's aesthetics are so good that I would love to be able to take some screen caps using the camera. Also, I wish there was some sort of puzzle that relied on you using your camera in a clever way. One I thought of could be an empty easel with a note saying "I need a figure to paint" and the player has to go into a bathroom, find a mirror, and take a photo of themselves that they leave on the easel to solve the puzzle. I know that this is a small game done by a one man team, but I think another couple of uses for the camera could really add a lot to the game. That all being said, I really enjoyed my time with this game, I think I might wind up replaying it just to walk around, take in the scenery and do some more drawings. I am really looking forward to what else this dev might create.
