Dracula Origin – GOG
The game actually puts you in the role of Van Helsing, Stoker's aging German professor and professional vampire hunter. Most of the major characters from the book put in appearances, but the Origin of the title does not mean there is any real attempt to stick to the story of the original. This is clear right from the opening cutscene, where Jonathan Harker is introduced as a vampire hunter actively seeking Dracula instead of an innocent solicitor visiting a foreign client. This is not in itself a bad thing, as sticking rigidly to the original story would have severely hampered gameplay. However, whilst vampirism does play its part, there are large sections of the game where a generic evil cult could have been substituted with minimal alterations. The infrequent appearances of Dracula and his undead servants in all but the final Transylvanian section can lead to you forgetting exactly who you are fighting against.
Dracula: Resurrection begins by recounting the final scene of Bram Stoker's original novel. In the year 1897, protagonists Jonathan Harker and Quincey Morris ambush the caravan of Count Dracula and his minions in Borgo Pass. Although Morris dies in the struggle, the pair succeeds in killing Dracula and releasing Jonathan's wife Mina from her psychic enslavement to the vampire. Afterward, an ellipsis takes the story forward seven years.[3] The Harkers' new life in England is disrupted by Mina's sudden disappearance, and Jonathan finds a letter from his wife that suggests Dracula's involvement. He subsequently tracks her to Transylvania.[5] Stopping for directions at the Borgo Pass Inn, he has a brief encounter with two suspicious characters,[12][13] followers of Dracula. Jonathan questions the innkeeper Barina about Dracula's castle,[14] but she warns him against traveling there in the dark, especially as it is Saint George's Eve, a night on which evil spirits move freely.[15]
