Horror, mystery and romance: all come together in this new adventure title

Vampires were, are and will always be an important part of the horror culture - and it's the same with video games. Strangely, the boss of them all, the first, the one and only - Dracula - is not a vampire we meet in many titles. Things are about to change now since we'll not only meet The One, but we'll also embark on a quest to discover his origins, in Dracula Origin, the newest title from The Adventure Company.

In the game, you will be the well known Professor Van Helsing and you'll begin your quest after you'll get a message from a friend who found both Count Dracula and his castle, but unfortunately died trying to kill the vampire leader. After some quick investigations, you will discover that Dracula is in London, somewhere close to you, searching for an antediluvian manuscript containing the details of a strange rite that allows to bring back the damned back to Earth and the Count plans to use it in order to resurrect his beloved one.

And this is the moment when you will begin your adventure, in a classic point and click way. So get ready to travel to different places, from London to Cairo, Vienna and, eventually, back to the place where everything started: Transylvania. It's a journey that will not progress to its natural end but rather to its origin, that of Dracula and that of Evil...

"We are excited to bring another Dracula themed game to our adventure fans," said Byron Gaum, Product Manager at The Adventure Company. "This is yet another tale from the dark side, and brings together an engrossing gaming experience combining romance, mystery and horror."

So what could we want more than horror, romance, mystery and vampires? Having in mind that these will come together with 40 characters and more than 150 objects associated with the vampire-theme of the game, 3D characters, wonderful graphics and an excellent storyline, we would dare to say: "nothing". We'll see if we were right on the 7th of April this year, when the game will be released.
