Orlowski Manor I | Vienna Dracula: Origin Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

This chapter of the game is going to begin with a long conversation. Seward is here with you, but you can also talk to Madam Orlowski (screen). Here are some updates on your progress:

- Mina seems to be in good health (especially since she ignored taking food for a few days), however her mental state is getting worse.

- Van Helsing wasn't able to gain access to the abbey where Father Alberto currently resides. As a result, he couldn't talk to him about the papyrus.

- Madam Orlowski tells about a secret passage which links the library with the abbey.

- Van Helsing is informed that he'll have to find a key to the library before he'll be allowed to search for the hidden entrance.

Let's get back to work, shall we?

You're standing inside a fairly small room, however you will be allowed to move around to explore it a little. I would recommend that you take your time, especially since you aren't rushed by anyone nor anything. Start off by choosing a passageway located next to Seward. Look at the flowers and try using the left door. Van Helsing decides that it's best not to disturb Mina while she's resting. Click on a small object in the corner of the room (screen). You will notice that there's a safe here, however you can't open it at the moment. Look at the piano which can be found to your right.

Proceed to your right once again. Take your time to locate all the available hot spots. There's a small chemistry lab here. You should also click on one of the books from the bookshelf (screen), because you are going to be rewarded with a new document - Chemistry Book. There's an interesting painting on the wall. Take a closer look at it and Van Helsing will make a copy of it in your diary - Professor Orlowski's Painting. Try opening the second door. Sadly, you don't have to necessary key.

Go to the right and you'll go back to where other characters are standing. Try talking to Madam Orlowski. As soon as you've started this conversation, you'll notice that she's humming some kind of a melody (screen). Obviously you will have to choose some of the new topics from the list. Ask her about the painting, about the strangle melody and about the safe you've encountered before. End this conversation and notice that you've received a new report - Duchess Orlowski's Song. Examine the notes, because this is one of the clues for an upcoming puzzle.
