Return to Dracula's Castle II: Revenge of Dracula's Castle Reviews
Author: Mel S
Date: 2008
ADRIFT 4.0

SCORE: 7
Comments: Hilarious. Tone carried through the whole piece. Good spoof with
strong narrative voice. Made me laugh out loud many times. Had to open it in
generator to beat it, but the unrelenting lack of hints supported thematics.
Error: peyote is eaten, not smoked. Game's exaggeratedly negative representation
of drug use/freak culture is somewhat worrying to me...

Comments: Oh my god. Totally funny. I can just imagine the prequel, where 8-year
old Dracula bullys you in the playground, runs over your kid sister with his
tricycle -- insert crane shot of you yelling DRACULAAAA! -- then we cut to
Dracula at home, writing "Mrs. Arthur Winslow" on his pencilcase and drawing
little hearts all
around it.

Comments: HILLARIOUS. Never streched itself out too much. My favorite part was
the gritty guitar solo in the intro. I loved the luggage descriptions and the
fact that I could take a 12 hour nap and still be able to kick Draculas butt.

Comments: There may not be a whole lot to actually DO here, but the
writing is fantastic, I want to play a whole series of games written by the
amazing, brilliant, and devastatingly handsome Arthur Winslow. ;-) Also, I just
realized that this is the only Mel S game I've ever played. If the others are
even half as funny as this one I definitely need to check them out, and soon.
The only flaw I could find with this one is that a short game is made even
shorter by the fact that due to a task that apparently had no restrictions you
can easily skip the only significant puzzle - I didn't even find out about the
trapdoor until I checked the generator after beating the game.

Comments: Hmm, could be a spoof. Yep definitely a spoof. Oh, Mel S, right.
Kudos for making me think, for a second, that I had missed one of Infocom's
adventures. That was about the scariest thing about this game, though. Bit of
GTV with the rocket launcher. Some funny response to things. Pretty simple game
in the end. Quite good for three hours.
