Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.

I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I did this just yesterday, trying to find an ASCII Dracula game. Played it on a friend's PC-like in the late 80s. I remember you controlled all the characters but could lose Mina and others during the game depending on your choices.
Remember going to the asylum to chat to Renfield to find clues to where Dracula was hiding
Try clicking through Category:Video games based on Dracula to see if any are in the approximately correct era and platform, and if the description rings the bell.
Could it be the ‘Dracula (1986)’ text adventure?
