A Vampyre Story is the upcoming point and click adventure game for the PC from Ascaron, written by Bill Tiller, a former LucasArts employee who worked on classics like The Dig, The Curse of Monkey Island, and Indiana Jones. Combining 3D animation with 2D adventure sensibilities, the game follows opera singer Mona De Lafitte, who though cursed with an undead existence doesn't let that stop her from pursuing her dream of singing opera in Paris. Expect bizarre characters and dark humor all around.
The art style is extremely reminiscent of Tim Burton's work on Nightmare Before Christmas and The Corpse Bride, which I think is a perfectly fine thing. If you are going to go dark and funny, there are worse people you can pay homage to. A Vampyre Story is slated for a fourth quarter 2007 PC release. Michael Fahey
