1. Take a seat in one of the chairs next to a coffee table with chess on top.
2. Get up and interact with the round mirror on the wall to choose rooms.
3. Pick up a Tutorial if you need to learn the basics, or immediately start with the Courtyard of the Dracula’s Castle.

Approach the well and select the four symbols on its four corners accordingly to this:

• The two lower symbols should be selected from your starting position in the courtyard.

This will activate the Wisp in the well, who will ask you questions. Here are the answers in order:

2. Insert this key into the slot of the gates that block your path out of the crypt.
3. Enter the next section and pick up a vampire stake from the leather bag on the floor.

Approach a platform with a small statuette and move it as shown in the image above to activate the light path:

2. Once the light hits it right, pull the lever next to the statue and pick up a stake and a skull from the niche.
3. Go back to the section with the platform and look in the opposite side.
4. You should see two rows of bells: three at the top and four below.
5. If you count them from left to right and top to bottom, then the correct sequence is: 2 – 5 – 4 – 7 – 3 – 1 – 6
6. Once the floor lifts, pick up another skull from the niche.
7. Pick up a third skull near the box, which you need to open and pick up a Rotary Scrollbox.

Align the images on the Rotary Scrollbox as shown in the image above and pick up another stake from the niche. Then, proceed:

2. Pick up another skull once the coffin shatters.
3. Go back to the entrance of the coffin room.
4. Rotate the three parts of the image at the entrance so that they align into one perfect image.
