An enjoyable half hour of pointing and clicking.
You play a Dracula’s servant who after a two hundred year kip needs to get up and also fill the world with eternal night so he can stroll about and do what he likes.
During this short adventure you’ll meet more of the Dracula’s staff and, let’s say guests.
All of these characters are well voice acted bar one exception that was more an issue of audio quality than line reading.
Sprite work here is good and mostly clear. I believe all modern point and clicks should give you access to a highlight button, however even without that I didn't find myself pixel hunting - the only issue I had in that department was the use of a bookcase and several titles on it, these weren’t separated or marked too clearly for my liking.
The music was fun and the puzzles all had some playful but solid logic.
These include the usual combining, “enhancing” and strange use of items.
Everything here is a standard affair when it comes to an adventure game. However with being made in two weeks and being this tidy and smart, there is not really anything to fairly criticise.
Every element "could be" better, but each element is also at a very strong standard.
My main comparison for this would be Loco Motive and I think whilst this isn't leagues below that, it just doesn't quite have the same level of writing and the locations just don't feel quite as original in NR4TW even if "a train" isn't the biggest brain idea for setting either.
There is nothing “wrong” with this game but there wasn’t anything that will probably keep in my mind all that much longer.
If you enjoy point and clicks, give this one a look.
It's very short, you can pay as much or as little as you want and maybe you'll find it funnier or more endearing than I did.
