We, Autumn Moon Games and Tag of Joy, are thrilled to announce our collaboration on the highly anticipated supernatural point and click adventure A Vampyre Story: A Bats Tale!

Return to the world of A Vampyre Story in a new gorgeous supernatural comedy adventure! Bill Tiller (The Curse of Monkey Island, The Dig), Dave Harris and other ex-LucasArts veterans join forces with Tag of Joy, the team behind the 2022 award-winning point and click game Crowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit, to deliver an exciting and fresh addition to the adventure genre! A Vampyre Story: A Bats Tale follows Mona, a Parisian opera singer who is kidnapped and taken to a castle in Draxsylvania where she is turned into a vampire. Fortunately, shes aided by her loyal companion, a wisecracking bat named Froderick. Guide both Froderick and Mona through a landscape of crazy characters, clever puzzles and gorgeous locations, including Dr. Legumes Home for the Sanity Challenged, the Executioners Practice Grounds, the Mortus Labs and many others! It will be up to you to help Mona escape the clutches of a mad scientist and stop his evil plan, find a vampire familiar, and continue her quest to return home. I love LucasArts graphic adventures, Halloween, and the classic Universal Monster movies of the 40s and 50s. So when I created the original A Vampyre Story, I combined all those things I love together. Since its release, adventure game technology has vastly improved, and by partnering with Tag of Joy, well be able to continue the story of Mona and Froderick in a modern gaming experience that also still evokes the feel of a classic LucasArts graphic adventure, says Bill Tiller, CEO and Creative Director of Autumn Moon Games. I couldnt be more excited about our collaboration. With Tag of Joys help we raised enough funding to finally kick off development of the new game, so its really amazing to announce that this is finally happening! My brother and I came of age playing games like The Curse of Monkey Island and have released a modern point and click adventure ourselves, so when we learned that Bill was looking to resurrect his A Vampyre Story franchise, we reached out and suggested a collaboration. We are super excited that Bill agreed, and hes also really friendly and easy to work with! says arnas Ledas, the CEO and co-founder of Tag of Joy. Bills knowledge, beautiful artwork and a very fun IP combined with our teams recent experience in creating a 2.5D adventure makes a perfect mix. The new installment in the A Vampyre Story series welcomes new and returning players alike. The collaboration promises beautiful hand-painted environments mixed with stylized 3D art and visual effects, tons of animation and cinematics, diverse group of characters, funny dialogue and a thrilling story packed with engaging puzzles. Its born from a marriage between the golden age of the genre and the modern era and boasts all the best genes from both!
