A Vampyre Story is a traditional point-and-click game that currently is in 2D, but for the final product the animation will be in 3D. The reason for this is the animations will look smoother and more consistent. The developers plan to use a 2D cel-shader on the animation to help the characters blend in with the 2D, hand painted backgrounds.

The game play and interface will be very much like The Curse of Monkey Island. The humor will be in the same vein as movies like Young Frankenstein and Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein and previous adventure games such as The Quivering and Hollywood Monsters.
