As you'd expect, Dracula 3 takes place in Eastern Europe, with locales that comes across as gloomy and deserted as you'd expect. You play a catholic priest investigating a candidate for beautification to sainthood only to discover that the subject may not be so admirable after all; in fact, she was apparently trying to become a vampire. That's not so great if you've got to report to the Holy See.
Fortunately, there's a mystery to solve first, with clues like dead bodies riddled with arrows, messages written in blood, and puzzles like one that has you try and reconstruct a library's catalog system after it has mysteriously burned to the ground. Now here comes the spoiler, so look away if you really like surprises: You also start turning into a vampire, which isn't too bad as things such as night vision are pretty handy when you're sealed inside a stone sarcophagus.
The mechanics in Dracula are simple: point and then click. You can also right-click to open a series of menus that handily point out your objectives, inventory, recent conversations, and documents recovered. And when in doubt, consult the bible. A bible written in Latin is included, and you can open it to random pages for verses that act as clues for what to do next.
