Game Revolution writes: "Hold on a second, let me consult my Official Gamers' Genre Fashion Chart for 2008… okay, point-and-click adventure game, back in season, that's a plus… gothic atmosphere, plus… vampires, that's a minus, only the nerdiest of emo nerds like vampires… based off of literature, another minus, I mean gamers don't read… Oh crap, I guess this means it's up to my better judgment, I can't just make a snap reaction.

+ Clever story direction
+ Some very good puzzles
- Antiseptic art style
- Puzzles based on shaky assumptions
- Pixel hunting (Dracula: Origin, PC) D+/A+
