LucasArts Veteran Releases New PC Adventure Game Vampyre Story

Developer Autumn Moon today released A Vampyre Story, a classic-style point-and-click PC adventure game created and written by former LucasArts artist Bill Tiller.

The humorous and whimsical game follows an opera singer and her mischievous bat as she come to terms with her gloomy vampiric afterlife after an untimely demise.

During his nine years at LucasArts, Tiller worked on many fondly remembered adventure games, including The Curse of Monkey Island, Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine, and The Dig. He also worked on a cancelled Full Throttle sequel, Payback.

Priced at $29.99, A Vampyre Story is now available to purchase and download from GamersGate. Other "decent" download services should get the game soon, according to the official blog, with a free demo now available at FileShack.

Hmm. I was interested in this, but having just played the demo I definitely won't be buying it. The puzzle was just stupid and required zero thought, the story (so far) feels contrived, and the writing's pretty average.

There was going to be a full throttle sequel?

I've never been so sad about something I didn't know was going to happen that was cancelled. :(

So far from what I've played I'm very excited. Only thing though, the voice acting is annoying the crap out of me - or at least the apparent main character's voice anyways. I turned off the voice and went with good ol text block reading, MUCH better.

I tried the demo yesterday and it was buggy. On several occasions interactive items wouldn't work and I had to save and then reload the game for them to become active.

Not knowing how it is, but it sounds sad that they will only get 29.99 from it. By the long time it was in development, the drastic graphic charges... Wow

Nice! I've been quietly trying to shackhype this game over the past few years.

I love the visuals, the pedigree sounds fantastic and the few clips I've seen so far have only piqued my interest further. I can't wait to try it out. I probably haven't been this excited for a new adventure game since Escape from Monkey Island.

Here's to hoping AVS lives up to or surpasses expectation.

Hopefully Tiller's game will sell really well.

The graphics are really nice looking, but I tried the demo and the main character could've been done better, there something in the animation that doesn't look perfect.

www.play.com is selling this game in boxed set really nicely priced, so all European people come on!
But your Visa and Mastercard to good use!
