Last update: 11 May 2016

And so you will end up at a gloomy manor. Head inside and speak with Stoker. After using up all the dialogue options, approach the piano - Adam will disappear. Take note of the phonograph standing inside the glass showcase. You can place a tube on it. There's nothing interesting around the fireplace, so head to the kitchen. There, take the knife from beside the microwave oven and an apple and a pear from a bowl on the same table. From the cupboard above the stove, take the flashlight and the bleach.

Open the drawer of the cabinet to the left of the entrance and take out a tube of glue and fuses. From the top of the cabinet, collect the penetrating oil. Beside the kitchen sink there's a container which also should end up in your inventory. Use it on the tap to fill it up with water and use bleach on it. Return to the corridor and head to the room on the right. Here, open the drawer of the small cabinet, take out sleeping pills and take a look at the note.

Head upstairs. Take the slide viewer standing beside the projector and approach the balustrade to move the curtain. Take a look at the weapon hanging from the wall and at the ship model. Afterwards move your attention to the mechanism which holds the ropes. Arrange the gears as shown in the below screenshot and activate them using the rudder button. The gears on the right correspond with the arrangement of the model. It has to be facing north.

If you want to change its position, you have to move the gears to the other side, as shown in the screenshot. Afterwards turn the rudder until the model reaches the very bottom. Move away from the mechanism and look at the balustrade - the ship is on the table below.

Approach the desk and look at the note found there. As it turns out, there's a position from the sunken collection which isn't included in your notes. It's marked as "Kanayek A III 07". Move back to the middle of the room and look at the shelf with a small sailing boat model. Note the ladder which lets you look at the upper shelves. It can also be moved. Move it maximally to the left, to the window on the left side of the map and click at its top. Position A III 07 is taken by a volume marked as C II 15. That means you should look at the shelf above the corridor - move the ladder there and you will find what you're looking for.

Use the magnifying glass on the ship on the right to see the DARK KEY sign, and afterwards on the text on the left. You will note that some of the letters are marked with dots. When you find one, press the mouse and a sign will start forming on the sheet of paper. It will form F IV 0, but that won't be the end. Click on the scalpel and then on the four corners of the tape holding the slide. They cover the last word - 5 - which means that you need to find volume F IV 05. It can be found in a shelf to the left of the ship model, in the fourth row from the top and it's... "Dracula". Click the two books and you will see a keyhole.

Go down and take a look at the lowered ship model. There's a key laying on it. Go back up and use it on the newly unveiled keyhole. Turn it to access a code lock. Use the slide on the slide viewer and put it into the projector. Move the red dot on the map up once and then maximally to the east to see the town Vladoviste and the code 2517. The image can be magnified by clicking on the point.

Input the received code on the code lock. Turn on the flashlight and enter the darkness. In order to fix the lamp, turn around and click on the fuse box. You need to fix it by completing another puzzle. You have to get the power to five points. Pressing the white pin will change the position of the piece. Eventually the whole thing should look like in the above screenshot.

The second part of the puzzle involves arranging the dices so that their adjoining sides have the same number of dots, identical to the number on the right. The dominoes can be moved using the arrows below. The proper combination is shown in the above screenshot. Arranging it properly will be marked by a green light in the lower right corner.

Search the room - on the table you will find a bottle with hydrogen peroxide, vitamins and St Benedict's medal. Take a look at the ink-stained sheet of paper. Add the hydrogen to the bleach and use mixture on the stain to remove it. Take a look at the picture above the desk and afterwards look at the screens. Two of them show the manor entrances and one the library. There are four squares shining on the device by the TV.

Arrange them as shown in the above screenshot and turn on the TV with the button in the lower right corner. Ellen will read a Latin phrase, but won't be able to tell where it's located. Afterwards look at the picture of the manor above the desk and focus on the statue visible beside the first window on the left (on the upper floor). Before leaving the room, look at the tape recorder on the shelf. There is no tape inside, but you can find it on the shelf below. Put it into the tape recorder and listen to it. Take the bottle of whisky.
