Reached the shore in "A Vampyre Story"!

Took me a while to figure out how to lower this bridge...

While further exploring the secret rooms of Warg Castle in A Vampyre Story, finally I could use a code I had already discovered during my previous playing session, and which I thought I had to use to open the bookcase at first. I had some fun in a secret laboratory, but suddenly I did something wrong and had to start over. I think it was a glitch, though. I accidentally clicked the exit while mixing the potion on the bunsen burner, and when I went back the game apparently thought the potion was already complete (it was suddenly bubbling), so when I added the next part, it blew up.

Quite a fun mechanical puzzle, this one!

Indeed, it's not very handy that they linked the use of the right mouse button both to opening up the inventory, and fast-travelling the exits (which I only discovered by accident because of this issue, since first I kept double-clicking them). It happened constantly that I wanted to use an inventory item but accidentally changed locations instead. One of the cons of this game...

Outta my way, Inky!

At least the puzzle difficulty is quite challenging, although that's mostly because it's often hard to find the right items. They tend to be hidden away somewhat. There are so many hotspots to examine, it's really a big game that has already taken me seven hours so far, and I've just reached a new location with so many different rooms, it's a bit overwhelming.

Don't really know whether I should trust her...

Yes, I was finally able to escape the castle, cross the lake and enter the village of Vlad's Landing. After having mixed a couple of potions and tricking a ghost in the part I just played through, now I'm on a mission to gather the necessary means to travel to Paris: a horse, a cart, and Mona's coffin with the necessary grave dirt to sleep in during the day. 

Time to fully explore my new surroundings!

I already have the coffin, I found the horse but can't barter with its owner because they have garlic hanging by their door, located the cemetery to get some grave dirt but can't enter because of all the crosses, but no lead on a cart yet. But there are some corners of the village I haven't explored yet, so I better get to what's probably the last big part of the game!
