1895 (or maybe 1897), Draxylvania. Mona de Lafitte, a young, up-and-coming Parisian opera singer, is in dire straits — specifically, the disgustingly-clingy arms of one Shrowdy von Kiefer. The vampire Baron of Castle Warg, he has kidnapped Mona and placed her under a curse which is curiously identical to vampirism, but not, Mona adamantly maintains, actually vampirism. But one night, while Shrowdy is out collecting Mona's "wine" ("a salty-tasting merlot with an iron aftertaste," remarks her pet bat Froderick), a pair of vampire hunters happen across the greasy little turd and give Mona the light of hope. Now she has to use her wits (hopelessly inadequate), Froderick's help (if he can stop cracking wise), and her environment (now we're getting somewhere) to escape Draxylvania and return to Paris.A Vampyre Story (yes, the 'y' is correct) is a point-and-click adventure game released at the end of 2008, starring Mona, an opera singer and new vampire, and Froderick, a small bat she pals around with, plus a creative cast of supernatural supporting characters (and a curious abundance of cops). Many of the employees of Autumn Moon Entertainment, the developers, used to work for Lucasarts, and some of the design sensibilities came along for the ride. Most obvious is the action coin interface-in addition to Curse of Monkey Island's Look-Talk-Touch, Mona has the option to transform into a bat to further use and abuse her environment. You can also "use" your sidekick Froderick, in the vein of a Lucasarts-era adventure gaming icon (hint: think long ears).

 A Vampyre Story (Video Game) / int_148bc07d
comment
Our Banshees Are Louder: The Irish ghost woman in the (second) dungeon can wail loud enough to push Mona away from her remains. At first she's identified as a banshee, then as a ghost. Notably, she's an undead, not a fairy, and her wailings aren't omens of death.

Hero Antagonist: The monks who stake Shrowdy technically are antagonists, as they plan to kill Mona too believing her to be a dangerous vampire like Shrowdy, but after all they do kill monsters. They're later revealed to be part of the same Cabal who tricked the Baroness.

comment
Not-So-Harmless Villain: Shrowdy von Kiefer. As if looking like a caricature vampire, being bossed around by the woman he kidnapped and mocked by the rest of his castle’s residents wasn’t enough, he also loves coloring books and uses a sippy cup. However, the iron maiden describes him attacking and beheading one of his mother’s prisoners with an axe and implies that he disposed of the other girls he kidnapped after he grew bored of them. He turns out to be so fixed in his obsession with Mona that he refuses to die and continues to haunt her even after he was staked by two traveling monks. He prevents her from leaving his castle despite being aware that it would mean her death, since Mona needs blood to survive.

Pay Evil unto Evil: Mona is usually reluctant to bite people, but when she sees how poor Mina Stoker has been run ragged, she actually goes on to great lengths to scare her lout of a husband into changing his Straw Misogynist ways. Earlier, after finding out that the rats sold you the wrong information, you can indirectly get back at them by revealing to the cat when they plan to raid the kitchen.

 A Vampyre Story (Video Game) / int_21e5b9c7
comment
Failed a Spot Check: As the Vampire Hunters prepare to set sail to Castle Warg to face Mona, said vampire girl just rows by them on a coffin, asking for directions, which he hastily gives without even looking. For bonus point, this was right after the monk said that the undead just don't rows towards you asking politely for directions.

Wholesome Crossdresser: Froderick has to pretend to be a little girl (complete with dress!) to solve one puzzle. This completely fools the police officer you're trying to distract, even though six inches tall is rather more "little" than you usually get with little girls. Once you've accomplished your goal, he declares that he is never, ever going to crossdress for you again. Let's see a show of hands, anyone who thinks the universe will just let that comment go.

Psychopathic Manchild: Shrowdy von Kiefer. He kidnaps and obsessively courts young women who look very similar to his mother and it is hinted that he disposes of them once he grows bored of their company. When he's not pestering Mona, he occupies himself with coloring books and a visit to his dining room reveals that he still uses a sippy cup.

Mona buys this and we last see Mona and Froderick ditch their ship out of Draxylvania as Shrowdy gloats about the terrible things the doctor has in stock for her. Possibly subverted, as that was chapter 2 of the story.

The Unreveal: A good chunk of the first part of the game involves finding the combination to Shrowdy's coffin. Once it's open, Mona and Froderick find pictures that Shrowdy had made of Mona attached to the lid. The player can't see them, so it's left to the imagination, and the repulsed expressions and comments of Mona and Froderick. Apparently they're good enough to warrant a whistle from Froderick.

Gasshole: The heroine Mona de Lafitte lets out a huge belch when, late in the game, she drinks blood from the fat slovenly drunkard Bruno Stoker. She's mortified by the noise she makes, and hastily attributes it to the sheer quantity of booze in Bruno's blood. Must be all the beer he drank.

Asshole Victim
 A Vampyre Story (Video Game) / int_8ed5c6e4
comment
Asshole Victim: The Baron is tricked and staked by a wandering monk as he leaves Warg Castle looking for fresh prey, and from what we saw of him he had it coming. Too bad his death didn't stick. The Baroness used to gather knowledge on the dark arts imprisoning and torturing information out of priests, scholars, wizards, witches and wisemen before killing them. She was eventually tricked by a golem and apparently fell in a trap set up by a Stranger and his Cabal. Rufus the Gargoyle gets crushed by a statue and is humiliated, insulted, abused and turned into a golem against his will, but he's such a contemptious and arrogant jerk it's hard to feel sorry for him. Bruno Stocker is drained and scared shitless by Mona, but he's a drunkard and an abusive husband.

comment
Our Vampires Are Different: Shrowdy von Kiefer initially seems to be a run-of-the-mill (if clingy) vampire, but he turns out to be a much bigger nuisance, if not actually a credible threat, than the plot summary up above would have you believe. More obviously, the spelling of the word "Vampyre" in the title. One minor addition to vampire lore is the rule that holy symbols can be neutralized by black cloth. According to what Rufus tells you, Shrowdy wasn't born the usual way, but apparently created by the late Lilith von Kiefer in her secret laboratory, which might have something to do with his vampirism and his Psychopathic Manchild attitude.

Love at First Sight
 A Vampyre Story (Video Game) / int_a8dcb1d7
comment
Love at First Sight: The opening credits of the game imply that Shrowdy von Kiefer fell in love at first sight with Mona de Lafitte, the game's heroine. They also imply that a jealous rival at the academy saw this and used it to her benefit; apparently she was aware of his habit of making off with young women in this fashion. If you try to make Mona fly to the crates behind the Vlad Landing's stadium, she mentions the last name of that rival: it's Van Helsing.

Gilded Cage: Although unkept and decaying, Mona's tower still bears the mark of luxury. She has her own personal room and even her very own theatre. Froderick's is a more literal version. When he tries to play it up like he's done time on the inside, Mona takes the wind out of his sails by pointing out that he's only allowed to have street cred if the cage is unpleasant, and further opines that between the comfortable sleeping arrangements and all the fruit and nuts he wants, the fact that it's shiny and attractive is just icing on the poser cake.

Cutting the Knot: In order to find out which one of the three bridge gargoyles has the key inside his mouth, Mona has to pick up a mace and smash them all until the real one, Rufus, dodges. When Shrowdy removes the black cloth from the graveyard to leave Mona stuck there with the wagon of dirt, she simply pushes the wagon down the hill and out of the cemetery (with Froderick steering it) while she turns into a bat and flies above the crosses, to her safety.

Shout-Out
 A Vampyre Story (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Generally to old adventure games. Pyewacket herself bears a marked resemblance to a lagomorph made famous by the bygone era of Lucasarts, and Froderick's quips about purple tentacles may also bring back memories. Other examples would be Red Bovine, a drink found in the castle which can refer to both Red Bull and Crimson Cow, the seamstress Mina Stoker, named after the author and one of the characters of Dracula, a half burnt wedding dress with the name "Miss Havisham" on its tag (a reference to Charles Dickens' Great Expectations) and the song "Who Let the Wolves Out?" just to name a few. Of the rats in the torture chamber, one is named Remy Da Ratt Finck, and the leader wishes he could look away from his cookbook once in a while. One obvious shout-out exists in the name "Shrowdy von Kiefer". Inky the blob-like Lake Monster with a voracious appetite could be a nod to Stephen King and his horror story The Raft. The author himself is mentioned as an insane writer under the surname of "Rex" who was interned after writing an extremely improbable horror story. A Raven named Edgar?

comment
Groin Attack: Shrowdy has a special device in his torture chamber specifically designed for this purpose. Mona ends up using it to crush a different kind of nuts, though... It doesn't stop Froderick from being utterly horrified by the mere existence of the device.

Til Murder Do Us Part: The Baroness is implied to have murdered several of her husbands. Lampshaded by Mona and Froderick who can tell her intentions just by her portrait.

Blob Monster: The Lake Monster Inky is a living, vaguely-humanoid mass of black junk who swims across the lake and eats anything and everything trying to cross the lake without proper protection.

comment
That Cloud Looks Like...: If you exit Mona's tower and go on the gargoyle bridge, you'll notice that the clouds have various shapes, including spiders, witches on broomsticks and lizards. Faces, presumably those of the dev team, can be made out in the slime dripping from the giant skull in the lab.

MacGuffin Guardian: The game has a few across the acts, such as Rufus the Gargoyle (keeps the key Mona needs to leave the castle in his mouth), Shrowdy's Specter guarding the only way out of the castle, the Lake Monster (who patrols the lake and must be neutralized to sail away) and the Banshee (who guards her own mortal spoils waiting for her beloved to come).

comment
Expospeak Gag: Mona gets a "Vampirism For Dummkopfs" book late in the game, detailing her abilities and limitations as a vampire. Froderick summarizes each page, as Mona has neither the attention span nor the intellectual capacity to read it herself, but there is actual text there and you can (with difficulty-it's a fancy typeface) read what it has to say on your own, which is often quite amusing.

I Do Not Drink Wine: If you believe Mona, wine is all she drinks. Also, choosing the mouth-interaction with a couple of items gets a direct shoutout to the line.
