Dracula then makes a pact with the Prince of Darkness, and becomes a vampire. As time goes by, Dracula discovers the existence of a manuscript that allegedly details a rite which brings damned souls back from the beyond.
In Dracula: Origin, the player takes the role of the famous Professor Van Helsing whose life's aim is the destruction of Dracula. Van Helsing must stop the vampire from finding the manuscript. A rich adventure that takes him from London to Egypt, Austria and through Carpathian Europe right into the terrifying home of the Dark Prince.

I'd probably only pick this up on sale or in a bundle, but it was pretty good. Nothing super original or groundbreaking, but if you like Dracula and point and click adventures, then this is a solid game.2 found this helpful
It's FINE but the last quarter really devolves into a pixel hunt, there's a lot of puzzles that aren't clear how to solve (some of which would've been way simpler if they gave you a better item that represented the task required) It's decent, but slow paced. the puzzles are mostly good, the voice acting and story are OK, if i could give it a 'sure, on sale, or if you REALLY WANT A point-and-click' that's it. definitely not frogware's best work2 found this helpful
If you are a Dracula fan, this game is worth a try. The atmosphere, the story and the characters remind me of the novel by Bram Stoker. Some riddles are a bit hard, but overall I recommend this game, especially when on sale.2 found this helpful
Cool game
NO TWINKY DRACULA, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ PUZZLES, AND PURE ANNOYANCE. Do not recommend
Game starts out fine but after a few it gets a bit boring, the pace is kinda slow for me, plus some of the puzzles are kinda irritating in some places
