Confronted with her seemingly hopeless fate, she decides to run away and try to fulfil her dream of singing at the Paris Opera.
During the heyday of PC adventure gaming, LucasArts was one of the premier names in the business. Many adventures today are often compared to the benchmarks made by titles such as Sam & Max or Full Throttle, which had leapt out from the wild imaginations of Sean Clark, Noah Falstein, Steve Purcell and Michael Stemmle, among countless others. Although the genre has continued to maintain a strong following today in regions such as Europe, when the focus of the company and the market in North America began to shift away from adventures, many felt that it was the end of an era.
Several former LucasArts alumni would continue to spin their stories by striking out on their own. Tim Schafer went on to found Double Fine Productions, responsible for Psychonauts. Sam & Max would return in episodic format, thanks to Steve Purcell and another group of LucasArts expatriates at Telltale Games. When Bill Tiller quit his job at EA to found Autumn Moon Entertainment in order to keep the adventure flame burning, he would eventually gather several former LucasArts veterans such as Will Eaken and Anson Jew to help create A Vampyre Story.
It's 1895 in Draxsylvania, where Mona de Lafitte, an aspiring opera singer, languishes in a gilded cage thanks to being turned into a vampire before being whisked away by the nefarious Baron Shrowdy von Kiefer. Although allowed to wander around her new home, Castle Warg, she is never allowed to leave and is a virtual prisoner alongside her only friend, Froderick, a wisecracking bat. One night, the baron heads out to find Mona some fine "merlot" to drink and unexpectedly meets the pointy end of a sharpened stake.

A Vampyre Story Overview:
A Vampyre Story is the creation of Bill Tiller and his studio Autumn Moon Entertainment. A former employee of Lucas Arts, Tiller won himself a place in the hearts of adventure fans through his work on titles such as Steven Spielberg's "The Dig," the whip-cracking "Indiana Jones," and the legendary "The Curse of Monkey Island." The game tells the tale of the beautiful, gifted opera singer Mona De Lafitte, whose life is brought to an abrupt end by a vampire baron named Shrowdy Von Kiefer. Henceforth, she is doomed to a miserable existence as a creature of the night in Von Kiefer's gloomy castle. Confronted with her seemingly hopeless fate, she decides to run away and try to fulfil her dream of singing at the Paris Opera. Accompanied by her mischievous bat Froderick, Mona must face a number of challenges in her odyssey and learn not only to accept her vampire nature, but also to use her newly acquired vampiric abilities to her advantage.
