About The Séance of Blake Manor
Ireland, October 29, 1897. I’ll waste no time, since there’s none for wasting. I write from Blake Manor in Connemara. Yesterday, a guest went missing – a young woman named Evelyn Deane. The owner and staff carry on as if nothing has happened. She has not left, of that I am sure. It is October 29th, 1897, and Private Investigator Declan Ward arrives at Blake Manor to find a missing woman. What he finds is the Grand Séance and a group of mystics who have gathered from all corners of the world – waiting for All Hallow’s Eve, the night when the veil between worlds is thinnest. The night to tear down the barrier and speak to the dead. Interview and interrogate your suspects, keep a record of all evidence, motivations, and clues in your journal, and confront them about their motivations when you’re certain of your deductions. Uncover the truth about Blake Manor and the mysterious séance that has brought everyone together. Navigate Blake Manor's haunted corridors and uncover its secrets as you race against time to save Miss Deane. Investigate the manor, solve environmental clues and reach the forbidden areas of the hotel…and beyond. But be careful - each action counts the day down. Be in the right place at the right time to catch critical events pertinent to your investigation. Everyone has their own agendas and schedules – it could truly be a loss to miss out on a quick chat by mistiming your actions. And who knows what hidden secrets lie in wait once you’ve turned in for the night... Brought to you by the creators of The Darkside Detective and Raw Fury, The Séance of Blake Manor is depicted by a beautiful comic-book art style. Inspired by Irish Mythology and the spiritualist movements of the Victorian era, players are cast into a first-person narrative adventure, blending the supernatural with a classic detective mystery. With its striking cutscenes, compelling narrative and dynamic soundtrack that reacts to the environment around you, Blake Manor and its secrets will leave you on the edge of your seat morning through night. ...I know the West of Ireland might as well be the far side of the world, for its distance from you but there is no one else to turn to. I hear you are an honourable man, a steadfast investigator. And – perhaps most importantly – godly. I pray for the girl that this is true... This game is currently only available in English language.

So I just want to throw in a thank you for doing some of the deepest dives into Irish folklore, mythology, and history I've seen in a video game. I feel like a lot of Irish people are timid to include the real stories when they are marketing to a global audience. My grandparents are from Cork, I'm a yankee (sorry lol). Dad is a piper, I play bodhran and help host the local trad session. Point is, Those of us in the states who try to keep our roots alive and are still passing along the stories have a struggle because it's hard to get people interested in it and it's so. incredibly. inaccessible. outside. of Ireland. The second I saw gaeilge on the screen I became excited. When I saw tuatha dé danann and Cromwell become highlighted reading my jaw dropped. I bought this game on discount because I like mystery puzzlers, I had no idea this studio was from Galway! I'm definitely going to convince some friends with similar gaming tastes to play it so I can sneakily get them interested in the folklore. It's almost funny to think random dudes on steam are picking this up and finding themselves following along with explanations of Cú Chulainn, etc. Aside from feeling connected to a video…1 found this helpful
i had this sitting in my library for a while then just suddenly picked it up and just could not put it back down. banger of a game.
A great and -very- occult mystery. Lovely artwork and good puzzling.
i pronounced everything incorrectly and had a great time
Very engaging puzzle and detective game, with lots of cool and original ideas. Loved the atmosphere. So far Spooky Doorway is nailing it with these bangers.
Find a better solution for the tutorial time limit. With too many interactibles, it sets the wrong expectations. The rest of the game is great!
