A Vampyre Story, the official trailer
93 Games, Ascaron Entertainment and Crimson Cow are proud to introduce the official trailer of A Vampyre Story. The video immerses you into the game's unusual yet endearing atmosphere and introduces some intriguing characters amidst a unique graphical style and unrivalled humour.
A Vampyre Story has been penned by Bill Tiller, the founder of Autumn Moon Entertainment. A former employee of Lucas Arts, Tiller won himself a place in the hearts of adventure fans through his work on titles such as Steven Spielberg's The Dig, the legendary The Curse of Monkey Island, and Indiana Jones. A Vampyre Story combines modern 3D animation with the qualities of classic 2D adventure design and a compelling style which can best be compared with the works of Tim Burton or Edward Gorey.
The point-and-click adventure game A Vampyre Story tells the tale of the beautiful, gifted opera singer Mona De Lafitte, whose life is brought to an abrupt end by a vampire baron named Shrowdy Von Kiefer. Henceforth, Mona is doomed to a miserable existence as a creature of the night in Von Kiefer's gloomy castle in Draxsylvania. Confronted with her seemingly hopeless fate, she decides to run away and try to fulfil her dream of singing at the Paris Opera. Accompanied by her mischievous bat Froderick, Mona must face a number of challenges in her odyssey and learn not only to accept her vampire nature, but also to use the abilities she has acquired to her advantage.
A Vampyre Story is scheduled for release in 2008 on PC DVD-ROM.
