The Séance of Blake Manor is an amazing game that made me feel like a detective with a gripping story and unique game mechanics. My favourite indie game of 2025. Personally, I loved how the limited time mechanic creates new challenges. My full review: steamcommunity.com/id/Gord10Ahm...

Análisis de The Séance of Blake Manor www.eurogamer.es/the-seance-o...

While it's a blip, this is prety insane. If even for a moment, the best rated game of 2025 is our wee Irish game about ghosts and loss and trying to do better. Mad, that. store.steampowered.com/app/1395520/...

Hades 2 is no longer the only game with a score of 94.

We're so proud to see @blakemanorgame.bsky.social and @blueprincegame.bsky.social in the Open Critic 2025 Hall of Fame 🥰🥰🥰

Just finished folk horror detective game The Séance Of Blake Manor. Incredible stuff. Game of the year type shit. Most satisfying virtual sleuthing I've done since The Roottrees Are Dead. Absolutely hypnotised me for 15 hours. Art, music, sense of place, characters, mood, voice acting: all superb.

"This enthralling mystery quickly had me in its ghostly grip and refused to let go." - Thank you @pcgamer.com www.pcgamer.com/games/advent...

The Séance of Blake Manor is an intriguing supernatural mystery filled with interesting characters and secrets to discover. - @samlienhard.bsky.social monstervine.com/2025/11/the-...

Months ago I gave a paper on Irish mythology in games, which was almost entirely a list of what games do wrong with the theme. Then comes @blakemanorgame.bsky.social, which does almost everything right. What a joy of a historical game! Comhghairdeas leis an foireann ar fad ag Spooky Doorway!

Master Chief is back in the fight with a new campaign remake that's breaking barriers to come to PlayStation. We explore the history of Mortal Kombat. Isla is on the case in The Séance of Blake Manor, and more. youtube.com/watch?v=eUFc... @rawfury.bsky.social #Halo #MortalKombat #DragonQuest

I haven't been on bsky this weekend bc I've been playing The Seance of Blake Manor and I'm absolutely transfixed. Highly recommend if you like detective games!

I have completed the Seance of Blake Manor and failed to save only one person (I consider it bad manners to mess with someone else's curse...). If you are already following me then I have no hesitation in recommending this game to you - a dark delight, worth every penny!

Wow, came across a super early Blake Manor video. This prototype was from May 2020, before it was officially a Spooky Doorway project and still going by the name Eldritch House. It certainly came a long way. @blakemanorgame.bsky.social #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

How it started > How it's going. #gamedev

Just completed it and wept at the end. One of our pets died today & a deer visited my window during the finale. Fond places from my childhood back home came up in the credits. I'll probably never play a game that makes me as proud of my Irishness again, and that's okay. Incredible. Video games man.

Still holding in there on New and Trending on Steam. Thank you to everyone who has purchased The Séance of Blake Manor!

If you haven’t been playing Séance of Blake Manor, you’re missing out. It’s giving me the same feeling I had when I was playing Blue Prince, Return of the Obra Dinn & the Golden Idol games.

words cannot express my excitement to continue @blakemanorgame.bsky.social after playing the demo on stream last night. the experience gripped me so hard i almost forgot i was live. beautiful visuals; great VA; clear systems and most important of all FUN- well done to @spookydoorway.bsky.social

"I’m only a few hours in, but I am already starting to feel pretty hooked on this one. It’s hard for me to give a score right now, but this one feels like the one out of these four with the most potential to make my top 10 at the end of the year." - Thank you @bignerdgaming.bsky.social
