Rating Summary

This is a seek-and-find adventure game in which players attempt to save a friend and solve a mystery involving the evil Dracula. As players search for specific items on screens full of jumbled objects, they follow a storyline set around a vampire's winery (Draco's Winery). Barrels, bottles, and glasses can be seen throughout the game; an ambiguous red liquid is depicted inside these containers—more importantly, the unspecified fluid forms puddles on the ground, handprints on pillows and barrels, and splotches on menu screens. While the game never identifies the fluid as "blood," players can reasonably infer that Draco is a connoisseur of something other than Merlot: "[W]e have an exquisite red you absolutely must try. A bit of coppery aftertaste though . . ." [italics added] Among the hundreds of searchable items players can find, one of them is called a "Smoking Pipe."
