A Vampyre Story (PC, Adventure) is a frightful and fantastical point-and-click adventure game. Combining 3D animation and 2D designs, the game follows the opera starlett, Mona, a woman kidnapped by Baron Shrowdy Von Kiefer and slowly becoming a creature of the night after coming under the vampire’s spell. As she seeks to venture away from his gothic island-set castle, she’ll have to learn to control her vampyric powers of turning into a bat, hypnotizing people, turning into vapor, and drinking blood from humans. Her friendly bat acquaintance, Froderick, will join her on her quest.

IGN gave it a 7.6 (“Good”) rating: “… but to be honest, it’s one of the more interesting adventure games around. Most important is how much cheesy writing you are willing to put up with. The cast is quirky and the scenarios are quirky; forgive me for still not being over the constipated raven. My personal cup of game A Vampyre Story is not, but you may enjoy a sip if only to experience its unique, Halloweeny flavor.” [IGN | A Vampyre Story]
