Grim City 5: General Tips

Panic in Budapest According to residents, vampires have appeared in the city, who arrange attacks on people. Several victims with red eyes have already been found, but of course there are no opportunities to cope with monsters. One of the local detectives takes over the case and immediately turns to you with a request for help. Now you are also conducting this investigation. So is the local Dracula to blame for everything? Or are more sinister forces at work here?

Find as much equipment as you need in the locations of the night city, play exciting mini-games, solve tricky puzzles and collect the necessary evidence to answer all the questions. If you need help, please refer to the hint. It will orient you where the object you are looking for is located or in which direction to move on. Also, do not forget to look at the map of the area. It will allow you not to get lost and tell you where there is nothing to do.
