History VideoGame / DraculaUnleashed

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The discussion of how one of the Hades Club members' wife died. It's mentioned she was taking a trip through Europe near Borgo Pass when her carriage had an accident and she was killed. [[spoiler:Of course, those who know Dracula lore, know that's where Dracula's castle lies. So it's implied that after Dracula resurrected and on his way back to London, he attacked the carriage, murdered the driver, kidnapped, drained, and turned the man's wife into a vampire. Bringing her with him to act as the new Bloofer Lady]].

* ShapeshifterGuiltTrip: [[spoiler:Juliet tries to pull this on the Harker and Alexander -- quickly shapeshifting into their wife and fiancee, respectively -- in a last-ditch effort to save herself. Funnily enough, while Harker quickly sees the through the guise, [[IdiotHero Alexander]] almost falls for it ''despite her transforming in front of them'', at least until Helsing stops him]].

* ContinuitySnarl: If this is suppose to go on from the book, it kinda forgets that Renfield didn't survive the events of it since Dracula killed him in the novel. Yet he's a alive and still insane here.

* ShapeshifterGuiltTrip: One of your friends turned vampire, Juliet, tries to pull this on the heroes in a last-ditch effort to save herself.

* PsychicLink: [CallBack Mina still retains her connection to Dracula from the original novel]], although the images she sees of him are much hazier than before. At the least, [[{{Foreshadowing}} she's able to describe him as "different from before, but familiar. He seems close to us. VERY close."]]

* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: An example pulled by the heroes late in the game when they finally confront Dracula; even if he [[spoiler:[[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifts into a wolf to escape]], ''two people'' have a gun aimed at him for a full 10 seconds, [[IdiotBall and neither of them fires even once]].

* AndShowItToYou: Dracula does this to Alexander in one of the game's deaths.

* ArcWords: "(There is) life after life."

* CatapultNightmare: Alexander has at least three of these through the story, basically serving as warnings of the vampire threat he's facing.

* ChekhovsGun: Pretty much all items you pick up during the story. But the most important one is when Alexander comes across a napkin with an odd drawing on it drawn by Devlin beforehand. [[spoiler:We later find out this was his blueprint to his plan to kill Dracula via a room full of crosses. Alexander uses it himself after Devlin is killed.]]

* ChekhovsGun: Pretty much all items you pick up during the story. But the most important one is when Alexander comes across a napkin with a odd drawing on it drawn by Devlin before hand. [[spoiler:We later find out this was his blueprint to his plan to subdue Dracula via a room full of crosses. Alexander uses it himself after Devlin is killed.]]

* DidIMentionItsChristmas: Being at the end of the year, there are of course Christmas decorations all over the place.

* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: The carriage driver seems to have a Cockney, Irish and Bostonian accent all at once.

* ChekhovsGun: Well, pretty much all items you pick up during the story. But the most important one is when Alexander comes across a napkin with a odd drawing on it drawn by Devlin before hand. [[spoiler:We later find out this was his blueprint to his plan to subdue Dracula via a room full off crosses. Alexander uses it himself after Devlin is killed.]]

* LetsPlay: One can be found [[http://lparchive.org/Dracula-Unleashed/ here]]. Another, by the {{WebVideo/Retsupurae}} team and overflowing throughout with their trademark respect and appreciation for even the cheesiest of source material, can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLo4M1tlpv9rsvSh9jA0svnhq_TWpVZaOI on their YouTube channel]].

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: The carriage driver's accent seems to slip from exaggerated Cockney to American, Irish and goodness knows what else.

** In a few of the endings, should you go to too many areas past the appointed time or without a item. [[spoiler:One of such that features Alexander running into Annisette dressed in a heavy gown before she reveals her fangs. Playing through the game proper to the climax reveals she's wearing the same clothes while still human. Meaning if you get the ending where she's walking in them at night, Drac's already gotten to her and made her into a vampire.]]

* IdiotHero: Among many other examples, Alexander gets threatened by a suspicious store owner after specifically asking for books about vampires and can't figure out why.

* IdiotBall: A lot of instances in the game seems to grant Alexander the Idiot Ball as he doesn't seem to put two and two together between cutscene and journal entry writing, making him seem more like an idiot.

* HaveIMentionedItsChristmastime: Being at the end of the year, there are of course Christmas decorations all over the place.

* HaveIMentionedItsChristmas: Being at the end of the year, there are of course Christmas decorations all over the place.

* LargeHam: Dracula during your confrontation.
