For my vacation I planned to make some more progress in Dracula for the Lynx (on the Evercade). But the only thing I managed to do was wander through the endless dungeons beneath his castle and stumbling upon him once in while at what point he killed me. It turns out you only need to get some items from the catacombs at this point in the game while avoiding him for now. It’s absolutely obscure how you are supposed to figure out which directions to take in the catacombs. After reading some hints online it quickly dawned on me that the rest of the game remains at least as obscure, so I decided to give up. It’s sad, but true.
