Story
After 300 years,
Count Dracula has risen from the grave. Returning to his home, he finds his seven vampire brides are no more, and the world he once terrorized gone. Setting out on a journey, while reminiscing about his lost loves, he finds himself shadowed by a stranger who claims to bear the name
Van Helsing, but who in fact may be someone far more dangerous.
Setting
Set in what appears to be a generic version of mid-19th century Europe, the in-game locations include:
- A small town in the shadow of Dracula's Castle.
- A monastery.
- A tavern.
- A castle occupied by an anti-vampire cult.
- A brothel.
- Underground tunnels.
- A garden maze...
Some locations are the settings of various memories the Count finds himself recalling.
Gameplay
The game uses a traditional point and click interface, including icons for
Look,
Talk,
Use, and
Move. A little less common is the addition of a "
Think" function - an icon of a human brain - which can be used to expand on dialogs and situations, opening up new options to the player. Two additional functions -
Kiss, and
Bite - can be used when the situation warrants.
Versions
Both versions are largely identical, though the
PC 9801 version contains a minor amount of extra content.
Content
Dracula Hakushaku features occasional nudity and sexual situations, and while explicitness varies, these scenes tend to be soft-core in nature.
Trivia
- The game is also known as "Count Dracula".
- Both versions are spread over four floppy discs.
