A Vampyre Story
Demo released so you can suck it and see.
A Vampyre Story, the long awaited adventure game from ex-LucasArts employee Bill Tiller, is released today, bringing horror, humour and addictive gameplay to the festive season. To celebrate the release, Ascaron and 93 Games have made a new demo available online, giving horror fans and ‘wannabe’ vampires the chance to experience the incredible adventure.
A Vampyre Story is a point & click adventure for PC that tells the tale of the beautiful, gifted opera singer Mona De Lafitte, whose life is brought to an abrupt end by the vampire baron, Shrowdy Von Kiefer. Trapped in Draxsylvania Castle and doomed to a miserable existence as a creature of the night, Mona decides to run away to fulfil her dream of singing at the Paris Opera.
A number of challenges await the elegant opera singer as she comes to terms with her new vampire nature and learns to harness the supernatural abilities she has acquired. Froderick, a witty and mischievous bat, joins Mona on the quest to realise her dream, helping unravel brain teasing puzzles and adding humour to the proceedings with a consistent flow of wise cracks and sinister jokes.
A Vampyre Story is a beautifully crafted game with great aesthetic value conveyed through a cast of wonderful characters and a creative storyline. The game has been developed by Autumn Moon Entertainment, a company founded by ex-LucasArts employee Bill Tiller, who previously worked on adventure game classics The Curse of Monkey Island and Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine.
A Vampyre Story is released today providing the perfect Christmas present for adventure, horror and vampire fans everywhere.
