Who loved old Lucas Arts adventure games like The Curse of Monkey Island? We loved old Lucas Arts adventure games like The Curse of Monkey Island! No, a remake of that game isn’t coming out (we wish). Instead, there’s something that’s equally good - Bill Tiller, a former Lucas Arts employee who worked on The Curse of Monkey Island, and Autumn Moon Entertainment have just released a new adventure game called A Vampyre Story. If you live in Europe, you can find A Vampyre Story in stores today, but others of us in the US will have to resort to GamersGate to purchase and download the game for $29.99.

A Vampyre Story is the somewhat-tragic tale of Mona De Lafitte, who wanted more than anything to become an opera star. And she was pretty good too - on her way to sing at the Paris Opera and everything. That is, until vampire baron Shrowdy Von Kiefer looked at her and saw lunch. Now she’s a vampire and trapped in Draxsylvania with Shrowdy. Mona decides a little things like death and an insatiable bloodlust won’t stop her dreams, and decides to escape with Frodrick the bat to work on her dreams of stardom.

It turns out that Autumn Moon Entertainment and Crimson Cow have also been kind enough to offer a free A Vampyre Story demo at Big Download. Like the full version of the game, the demo requires Windows XP or better and Direct X 9.0. It is substantially smaller than the full version of the game (which is about 3gb), instead weighing in at a petite 445mb.
