Once upon a time...
Deep within the walls of a gloomy castle in the equally gloomy land of Draxsylvania, the young, gifted opera singer Mona De Lafitte is held captive by her tormentor, vampire Baron Shrowdy von Kiefer. Ever since she was transformed into a vampire by Shrowdy and whisked off to Draxsylvania, her greatest wish has been to return to Paris, continue her singing career, and one day become a star at the Paris Opera.
When Shrowdy fails to return from a nightly foray, she at last sees an opportunity to flee. Together with her only friend and confidant, a cheeky bat named Froderick, she escapes from her prison and tries to find her way back to Paris. During her flight through Draxsylvania, where she encounters some strange inhabitants and some even stranger challenges, Mona must learn not only to accept her vampire nature, but also to use the abilities she has acquired to her advantage.
It's finally here. After four years of hard work, Autumn Moon Entertaiments new point n' click adventure game is ready for release. Designed by Lucasarts adventure game veterans Bill Trinen and Dave Harris, this is point and click adventure game you don't want to miss!

Will be buying as soon as it's released. I have to admit i'm less than blown away by the screenshots, hopefully it will feel better when it's actually moving. Nevertheless with their pedigree i expect much enjoyment from this game. Long live the dead point and click genre!
i realise this is still a demo, so the final game may well be better than that. eh, i might get it anyway cause im a sucker for point and click.
The humour in the trailer was pretty nonexistant too. That's what's most worrying. Humour is what makes these games enjoyable. Clicking on items multiple times just to see what amusing things are said.
Ah well, nearly home time when i get to play the demo, at least now my expectations are low!
The writing is no Monkey Island but it will suffice.
It looks v pretty but animates a little stiffly, and the CG models and hand drawn art do not mesh particularly well.
Puzzles and interface seem fine from the short time in the demo.
That voice! #Shudder#
My point-and-click loving core will push past many flaws play this game, but the main character's voice is truly a fucking abomination. Is that meant to be a French accent? Aural torture.
At least it is better than this:

Especially 00:06.
I actually prefer point and click games not to have voices. Decent well written text that i can read at my own pace is much better if you ask me. Although having said that the voices in Simon the sorceror were fantastic.
In general I agree, but Grim Fandango and Full Throttle would have suffered horribly from losing the voices. Although I guess Grim Fandango wasn't technically a point and click game.

Where'd you hear that? Fabulous if true but sounds like wishful thinking to me.
I've decided to try to push past the atrocious voice and get the full game as the puzzle presented in the demo was of the kind of complexity that is lacking in the Telltale games. Telltale being pretty much my only source of point and click these days apart from freeware.

I was going to link you to Gameplay, who did have it listed as coming out in the next few days. However it just got pushed back to the suspiciously nebulous date of 30th Jan so I suspect there is no firm date for boxed UK release.
Edit: But I see the official site (which lists no minimum specs) is announcing it's UK release today. Confusion.
Anyway, anyone know if there is a download service can I buy this from in the UK then?
Further edit! Play.com claim to have it in stock and at £15 it's roughly half the price of the direct download options I've found.
Editamundo: Haha! Became unavailable whilst I was typing. Something is clearly up with the launch.
I believe I speak for us all when I say Fuck Cedric. Seriously, that owl added nothing and was the biggest pussy besides. OOOOooo, I'm afraid of the forest, ooooo I'm too scared to wander into the desert, ooooo I'd better not go into bakery. Dick.
Did anyone ever do a proper Kings Quest 8? I... I own mask of eternity... but, well my therapist says I shouldn't talk about it.
