Spanish developer Alcachofa Soft and Crimson Crow have announced a cooperation agreement, one that will see the worldwide release of point-and-click adventure The Abbey sometime next year.
Set in the Middle Ages, the game casts the player in the role of the Grand Inquisitor Leonardo and his assistant Bruno as they uncover the mystery behind a series of mysterious murders at an old abbey. The game will feature a “gripping storyline with many an unexpected twist,” according to the announcement, which also highlights the fact that the game will feature an “innovative presentation of cinematic proportions.”
No specific release period was mentioned, but the game is on for release in 2007.
Following up on the previous story, Autumn Moon Entertainment has signed a deal with Crimson Crow that sees the Hamburg-based publisher getting worldwide publishing rights to A Vampyre Story. The game has had its story written by Bill Tiller, the founder of AME and a former employee of LucasArts who has worked on legendary titles such as The Curse of Monkey Island and Indiana Jones.
The point-and-click adventure “A Vampyre Story” tells the story 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 the unwilling companion of the vampire in his gloomy castle. Fate smiles on her briefly when her undead captor is destroyed. Seizing the opportunity, Mona runs away and tries to fulfill 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 the abilities she has acquired to her advantage.
The game will be released worldwide sometime next year.
