A Vampyre Story serves up new trailer treat

One of these foreseeable autumn moons, the long-awaited A Vampyre Story will be ready for release, but in the meantime, the latest cinematic teaser should help whet gamers' appetites.

The offbeat adventure casts players in the role of opera singer Mona De Lafitte, who longs to return to Paris to resume her career. To do that, however, she'll need to escape her captivity in the Draxsylvanian castle of vampire baron Shrowdy Von Kiefer. And so with the help of a bat named Froderick, players must guide Mona to freedom, even as she learns to cope with being a vampire herself.

The new trailer includes almost 90 seconds of in-game footage, introducing a wide variety of the game's characters and colourful locations. The video can either be streamed directly or downloaded from the website of Focus Home, the game's international publisher.
