Here’s how the game is described: “This new point and click adventure
tells the tale of the beautiful, gifted opera singer Mona De Lafitte,
whose life is brought to an abrupt end by the vampire baron, Shrowdy
Von Kiefer. Trapped in Draxsylvania Castle and doomed to a miserable
existence as a creature of the night, Mona decides to run away to
fulfill her dream of singing at the Paris Opera.
“A number of challenges await the elegant opera singer as she comes
to terms with her new vampire nature and learns to harness the
supernatural abilities she has acquired. Froderick, a witty and
mischievous bat, joins Mona on the quest to realize her dream,
helping unravel brain teasing puzzles and adding humor to the
proceedings with a consistent flow of wise cracks and sinister jokes.”
