Dark Romance: Vampire Origins Collector's Edition Reviews

Long and fun game - excellent puzzles and nothing too hard to worry about - fun story

Was a good hidden mystery game, just one thing that bugged me was the changes of charactor.

I enjoyed this game. I liked that it had character switching, three types of collectables and match 3 that could be selected instead of hidden objects. I liked the artwork too.

This game is magnificent! Art is stupendous, music is thrilling and lovely, and the story is romantic and tense. Domini games tend to make games with good stories, but this story is especially interesting. Puzzles are extremely clever and make sense, and hidden object puzzles here are fun and engaging. You can listen to the game's music soundtrack and enjoy the game's art and download beautiful art wallpapers for your computer. Bonus chapter is extremely well told, and there's readable subtitles for deaf people. Highly recommended!

The game is good and short, but I wish there were multiple endings like in the other vampire game these devs made. I would've much preferred to side with Tamash. He was a much better choice for Gabriel.

Another great Hidden Object game by Domini! I'm very happy with this purchase, and will certainly be buying more from the same developer. An interesting story with very well made graphics and game mechanisms. While obvious effort had been put into you needing to find logical things to proceed, you do still need to suspend a significant amount of disbelief as to what the characters feel like they "need" to do. I do like though that just about every animal "needs" to be played with or fed.

It's a good game. Just a little shorter than I like. The bonus game is good.

This is such a great game! The graphic is amazing and the story so immersive. I love the fact that it has tiny bits of ''reality'' in it too ( As a romanian myself i can confirm, Brasov is really nice ). 10/10 for everything. I enjoyed playing this so much. I can't wait to try out more

Apart from the "vampires live there" stereotype, it has nothing to do with Transylvania, neither in visuals, nor in culture. For instance, the city of Brasov is depicted like a Swiss mountain village; in reality, it is a large walled city with Renaissance architecture. Yes, I know, people who play this are interested in the puzzles and not in the culture, but the developers could have tried harder (for instance, the Dark Cities series had no problem to create proper settings). With that being said, this is an okay game. HOGs are few and simple, but the minigames are good and varied, and for most of them you can choose between easy and hard difficulty levels. The game is overall on the easy side, everything is straightforward and at hand; good for the beginner or casual player.

Well, this is was an interesting experience. However, because there is a previous game named Dark Romance: Vampire in Love, I constantly compared the two games. And I reached this conclusion... PROS: - Interesting story (a dhampir lover and his beloved); - Beautiful scenes and fitting music; - Divers HO minigames; - Fast-travelling map; - Obtainable collections; - Main game and Bonus chapter. CONS: - No journal, no character sympathy! (in Dark Romance: Vampire in Love, I fell in love with the characters because of their diary); - Too quick succession of actions (the white owl and Sabrina); - Gabriel knew who characters are before he meets them (even though he's a dhampir, he is still subject to human laws); - Bram the huntsman confused with Dorin the expert in main game; - No real choice at the end (turning beloved into a vampire or not); - Bonus Chapter is quite unrelated to the main story (the protagonists don't appear at all). In all in all, it was a great experience. Whoever likes vampires like me, should get this game on sale!
