The Séance of Blake Manor

Thoroughly enjoyed this and stayed up at night planning how to progress to solve the mystery -- the proof of a good game keeping the player engaged off-hours. A fun, engaging, no-commitment, low-effort-but-high-reward game. Big recommend! PROS: - Incredible voice acting - A very engaging story with plenty of rabbit holes (e.g. the different mythological backgrounds) and a great cast of characters crammed into it - Fun puzzles that are not too difficult or easy to solve - Easy-to-learn mechanics and no-punishment gameplay - Cause and effect, e.g. skipping one thing and attending the other, will have consequences CONS: - As one person said before, individual mysteries are more interesting than the main plotline - The main character can come across as a bit one-note so a bit difficult to live through to at times - Moral dilemmas easily brushed over as the story keeps its focus and pace on the mystery at its heart - Fetch quests and circles around the mansion that feel a bit clumsy at times Overall, I very much enjoyed this -- if I wouldn't have other games waiting in the library, I'd fire it up [spoiler] to try and save everyone as I got 19/22 on my first run [/spoiler] -- perhaps after a while, it'll be just as good to revisit.

Quite a fun game! I really enjoyed this one. The challenges are fairly balanced, and there is plenty of time to solve everything if you wish! I took my time with this one, and part of my hours are idle, so it doesn't take as long as it seems. If you want to solve every puzzle, and chat with everyone, exhausting all dialogue, it is a fun adventure!

Impeccable story and would love to finish but in almost 5 hours the game has crashed 7 times. Twice shutting down my whole system. Unfortunate optimization.

loveeee

This game far exceeded my expectations. It is very well done and very well thought out. I really enjoyed the character quests and learning about Irish mythology and history. Very well done to the studio. I enjoyed it so much I went back to get multiple endings. Something I rarely ever do. Definitely a game you should check out!

Fantastic presentation, engaging characters and a compelling narrative make for one of the better murder mystery esque games I've played. Closest equivalent I've had a to a pageturner in game form in the sense I didn't want to put it down until I had finally completed the story and done the vast majority of achievements. Suffers from that classic Visual Novel thing where I'm not sure how much I'd enjoy a second playthrough back to back (maybe some years down the line), but I enjoyed it for what it is and would highly recommend it to anyone who likes this sort of game.

Atmospheric but not stressful gothic and folk horror game. The action = time management system works well and you have a pretty generous amount to work with. The game got a bit weaker for me the more convoluted it became about the central lore, a sequel would also do well to add even more failstates and mistakes. About 10-15 hours playtime.

Увлекательная игра. Детеквивные механики и карта удобны в использовании. Единственное что начинает напрягать с течением времени это расписание доступности персонажей изза котрого приход ться много бегать по особняку.

A great detective game with fantastic atmosphere and solid pacing!

Just wow, this was one of the best gaming experiences i ever had! I HIGHLY recommend it!
