Dracula Unleashed was a game developed by and released in 1993. It acts as a sequel to the story, taking place several years after the book's events. You play as Alexander Morris, a brother of Quincey Morris, who comes to London to find out about Quincey's death and wed his sweetheart Annisette Bowen.However, strange murders soon start happening around town and Alexender realizes it's linked to his brother's death. Now he must get to the bottom of what's going on before his friends and loved ones are put in danger.The game was pretty much, as you were required to move around the city under a strict time limit and visit different areas to gain information while in others you needed certain items on hand to move on.
Failure to have such at a crucial moment would lead into death. To say the least, this is one of those games where you really have to pay attention. Still, it helps that the acting (like pretty much all FMV games) was very hammy.
Was re-released in 2002 as a DVD game with updated visuals and special features.The game provides the following tropes:.: Alfred Horner, the owner of the Goldacre & Horner Bookstore.: Dracula does this to Alexander in one of the game's deaths, ripping out his heart.: 'There is life after life.' .: The amulet Dracula possesses has metamorphic properties and can restore people to life.: She doesn't appear in the story proper, but Lucy from the original novel is namedropped in a newspaper late into the game,.: Alexander has at least three of these through the story, serving as warnings of the vampire threat he's facing.: Every item you pick up during the story, but the most important one is when Alexander comes across a napkin with an odd drawing on it drawn by Devlin beforehand. We later find out this was his blueprint to his plan to kill Dracula via a room full of crosses. Alexander uses it himself after Devlin is killed.
Briarcliffe at the university is very. When asked about a gold coin, he bites it and quips about how it's not a chocolate one.: If this is suppose to go on from the book, it kinda forgets that Renfield didn't survive the events of it since Dracula killed him in the novel. Yet he's alive and still insane here.: The final screen of the credits contains the disclaimer 'Any resemblance to persons living, dead, is purely coincidental.' .: Mina has a priest bless a crucifix for Alexander, but using it on Dracula has no effect as he simply bends it backwards in Alex's hand. But that doesn't mean crosses don't work at all on him; you just need more.
A lot more.: Dracula turns out to have been Arthur the whole time in the game, having killed the real Arthur and his wife months ago (he re-animated Regina's body using a spell) and taken his place to get close to and take revenge on those that stopped him before. Near the end of the game, there are actually subtle hints that that the Holmwoods are a little off.: Totally optional, but the player can have Alexander write about every significant happening. If he writes after visiting the newsstand, he will also include newspaper clippings.: Being at the end of the year, there are Christmas decorations all over the place.: Regina Holmwood, who is seen commenting on another man's wife's beauty despite having never seen her before. It's a subtle hint that she's not the true Regina.: Alexander has one dream where he sees Anisette on the streets at night.

When he calls out to her, she turns to him revealing she's now pale-faced, has unkempt hair, an almost zombie-ish expression and most importantly, blood spilling out of her mouth. She then promptly turns into a wolf and attacks him, which causes him to wake up.: Time can be advanced in 15 minute increments via Alexander's pocketwatch, though this isn't recommended since you might overshoot important events.:. The discussion of how one of the Hades Club members' wife died. It's mentioned she was taking a trip through Europe near Borgo Pass when her carriage had an accident and she was killed. Of course, those who know Dracula lore, know that's where Dracula's castle lies.
So it's implied that after Dracula resurrected and on his way back to London, he attacked the carriage, murdered the driver, kidnapped, drained, and turned the man's wife into a vampire. Bringing her with him to act as the new Bloofer Lady. At the beginning of the game Arthur Holmwood looks at Alexander's neck with barely concealed interest, indicating that he's actually Dracula in disguise.
At one point Alexander has a dream in which an undead Anisette, Juliet, and Regina appear as Dracula's new. Alexander: Unbelievable! Alfred Horner actually threatened my life today.
I want to find out what his secret is, but I mustn't take his words lightly.: Devlin when he kidnaps Annisette, having gone mad with grief after Juliet is turned and killed.: How Dracula meets his end (again) when one of the support beams in the room he's in breaks off and impales him through the heart.: Even after meeting Prof. Van Helsing and becoming Quincey's replacement in the group, Alexander does nearly all of the leg work, and he's also the only one to confront Dracula in the end.: All of the Hades Club members treat Alexander like dirt on account of being American, although Devlin Goldacre is the worst about it. Devlin: ( after learning Morris had learned of his bookstore) Yes. Why does that interest you? Been doing some reading in the faint hopes of becoming cultured?.:. Goldacre tends to in every scene he's in. Dracula during your confrontation.
Van Helsing is almost as bombastic as his incarnation in.: One can be found. Another, by the team, can be found.: Devlin, whose was pretty much a prick at the start of the game.
