Developer Spooky Doorway and publisher Raw Fury have confirmed that the supernatural detective mystery The Séance of Blake Manor will launch on October 27th for PC. Just in time for Halloween. The release date was confirmed during the Convergence Games Showcase, where a brand new trailer was also shown.
Set in Ireland in the year 1897, players take on the role of Detective Declan Ward who has been summoned to solve the case of the disappearance of Evelyn Deane. The case is going to be tough especially when it is Halloween, you are surrounded by mystics gathered for a séance, and the unexplainable situations that plague the investigation. The gameplay consists of speaking to the other people gathered on the island, observing the events that are taking place, and being in the right place at the right time. Time is not a luxury Declan has due to the guests going about their day, so if you are not in certain places you may miss vital evidence that could help solve the case.

In our preview of The Séance of Blake Manor, Stefan wrote, “Having such a broad cast of characters to investigate, it will be fascinating to see how this gels with the game’s time limit. Certainly, there’s an implication from my brief game over that you need to not only save Miss Deane, but also save people from attending the séance. This is absolutely one to watch for fans of mysteries and puzzles.”
