Time Management
Alawar Entertainment, the studio behind Incredible Dracula: Dark Carnival proudly presents another journey into the unknown with, Incredible Dracula: Academy of Shadows!

The Academy of Shadows has summoned Dracula via an invitation sealed with an ominous emblem that stirs long-buried memories. As the newly appointed honorary examiner, Dracula must evaluate the Academy's top students, but this will be no ordinary task. Chaos reigns as the exam unfolds, unleashing Dracula's most feared memories - from menacing dolls to broken portals, mischievous students, and vanishing teachers, the Academy teeters on the brink of disaster. It's up to you to help Dracula save the day. Rally a team, stop the runaway students, recover lost magical items, and restore order before the graduation ceremony begins. Along the way, you'll face fears, conquer challenges, and prove once and for all that the legendary Count Dracula isn't one to be trifled with. Will you navigate through the chaos, or will you let Dracula's past catch up with him? Can you put an end to the mischievous tricks and save the Academy from ruin?

This is a special Collector's Edition release full of exclusive extras you won’t find in the standard version.

The Collector’s Edition includes:
  • Bonus chapter with 15 additional levels!
  • Loads of additional achievements!
  • A step-by-step guide to keep you on track!
  • Check out a collection of downloadable wallpapers, a music player, and more!

I passed on these games a few times based on the title thinking they were for children or so-so; lesson learned. Out of "desperation" looking for new quality fun games, I tried one of the Incredible Dracula Collector's Editions. Wow!! Developers, I am IMPRESSED. Effort, imagination, creativity, humor, detail went into these. These games are not replicas of each other; each one "incredible" as you say. I have purchased every game, Collector's editions and those without with the exception of Chasing Love (didn't much care for). Useful accelerators take a while to appear but when they do, they are great and can make choices. When there are no mfg bldgs, use cache with auto-pickup. If you liked Northern Tales games, give Dark Carnival or Academy of Shadows a try; I wouldn't start with Game of Gods because it is hugely different (although good). Thanks developers! Show less
I recommend this game!

This was a fun game, as almost all of the Incredible Dracula's are. They have continued to find ways to make it different and interesting and still fun, even though you do basically the same things as usual in all of the games. There are new tools and goals, but I think my favorite part is that they have changed up the order in which things need to be done. In past games, you would just complete ...Show more
This was a fun game, as almost all of the Incredible Dracula's are. They have continued to find ways to make it different and interesting and still fun, even though you do basically the same things as usual in all of the games. There are new tools and goals, but I think my favorite part is that they have changed up the order in which things need to be done. In past games, you would just complete buildings mostly in the order that you reached them, or had the materials. In this one, even on the easy level (which is always my favorite), I had to restart many of them over again because I needed to prioritize on over the others. Frustrating at the time, but in retrospect more fun. I hope others enjoy it as much as I did! Show less

It was not your typical point and click Time management game. You had to think of what to do. I had to restart a level numerous times because I needed the ice, fire, or elixir. I accidentally upgraded sawmill or something and used the last fire, ice, etc and you needed that fire, ice for going further.

...& just in time for Halloween ~ YAY! I've been wishing & hoping for a new Drac for awhile now, wondering if there would ever be another while replaying others in my collection.
This is just what I needed to get me into the Halloween spirit during a rather lackluster, dry Fall season. I'm halfway through the main game & thought I really should pop in to say how much fun this one is ~ very glad I went for the Collector's Edition, with 15 extra levels to look forward to after the second half.
Some new challenges & game mechanics have the brain cells popping, & the storyline has had me laughing out loud several times which I've sorely been in need of during trying times. The music is familiar but I believe it's been tweaked here & there & I'm really enjoying it.
Hats off to developers for keeping it fresh & fun, & I really hope you're already working on the next one! Show less

Well I am only on level 5 and already a new feature where I had to open gates to get the resources to keep moving, and already a new spell, the 'dead end' which opens portals to paths that are locked up. But choose carefully lol.
This is classic Drac as we know it. And I even had to repeat the last level while I nutted out the best course.

I was so excited to see that there was a new Incredible Dracula game out - been so long! Love the series and I bought without trying - couldn't purchase fast enough. Excellent TM game right up there with the Rescue Team series. Thanks to the devs for continuing to make these.
