14 DAY TRIAL // Ascaron's classic point and click adventure title, A Vampyre Story was going to represent the revival of the genre and everybody was excited about it. However, the game was first announced three ears ago and, since then, quite a few other titles managed to revive the genre (games like Jack Keane or Sinking Island). Still, this does not mean that A Vampyre Story is no longer one of the most expected adventure games ever - and it's finally going to be released this year! It will hit the European markets in September, while the North Americans will get it a month later, in October.
The game presents the story of Mona De Lafitte who is captured by vampire baron Shrowdy Von Kiefer. Accompanied by her mischievous bat, Froderick, Mona must escape the evil Baron's clutches, facing a number of puzzling challenges on her way. In order to return to Paris and follow her dream of becoming a famous opera singer, Mona must learn to take advantage of her newly acquired vampire abilities. This, as you can see, will indeed be a humorous adventure like the good old ones, that will bring nothing but magic for fans worldwide.
"We've got an exceptional comedic adventure on our hands with A Vampyre Story," said Byron Gaum, Product Manager at DreamCatcher Games. "The game shines with its wild and crazy characters, richly-detailed graphics and has more than 15 hours of brain-teasing fun. The talented development team behind this tale takes us back to the spirit and adventures they made famous in Monkey Island."
If you are surprised to see the references to the legendary Monkey Island series, you shouldn't because the game is the creation of Bill Tiler, the same person who is known for The Curse of Monkey Island, The Dig and Indiana Jones! This is probably enough to convince you that we're talking about a triple-A title.
