Everyone at Blake Manor is a suspect. Other guests, staff and even residents of the hotel. From the culprit area of the menu you can gather notes about these suspects and even eliminate them from your inquiries as you learn more. 🔍

Happy Valentine's Day! 👻🔮🖤

We are thrilled to be included in Gamespot's Best PC Games to play in 2026 list alongside to many other incredible games: www.gamespot.com/gallery/best...

Following reports of a black screen issue experienced by Steam Deck & Linux players, we have released a patch this afternoon to rectify this issue. Thank you for your patience while we worked to narrow in on a fix & for bringing this to our attention. store.steampowered.com/news/app/139...

Mysteries are abundant at Blake Manor and keeping track of the many threads of your investigation is very important. This is where the Mysteries tab of the menu comes to the rescue. From here you can piece together the clues & information you have gathered & work towards solving this strange case.

Our latest patch is now available on Steam. This patch addresses a number of issues reported by the community. For the full changelog visit: store.steampowered.com/news/app/139...

Not all the information you will discover during this case will come from directly talking to the staff and guests. Sometimes you can be in the right place at the right time to overhear useful information by eavesdropping.

Tomorrow the Thinky Award winners will be revealed at 10am PT, 1pm ET, 6pm GMT. The Séance of Blake Manor has been nominated for the Best Art Direction Award. Tune in on youtu.be/6Cwr9UBQUUQ Good luck to all the nominees.

i talked to the lead designer for Seance of Blake Manor, one of my favorite mystery games of last year. it's not as brain-destroying as something like Blue Prince and that's very much by design. you can walk away and come back to it, for example www.mothership.blog/seance-of-bl...

You will collect a lot of clues and information during your investigation. From the Records section of the menu you can discuss topics with the staff and guests, learning more about items you find or even asking them what they think of or know about each other.

Damn this game is so good, you feel like you are getting nowhere, slowly hints emerge, then of a sudden… the Séance. Gorgeous and sad and full of info. Well done. I gave "The Séance of Blake Manor" 10/10 www.ign.com/games/the-sa...

The deep worldbuilding of these two detective games makes it easier to use your intuition!

During your time at Blake Manor you will need to interact with guests & staff. Knowing where they are planning to be & when is vital. The Timetable section of the map helps you keep track. Discuss the suspects' weekend plans or find their schedules to learn about their movements.

"The Séance of Blake Manor is a very special game and I cannot recommend it highly enough." - Thank you Danny 👻🔮🖤

This week on Design Delve, @designdelve.bsky.social is taking a look at how time mechanics can make or break the design of a game. Presented by @playtracker.bsky.social.

How hard is it to make a good detective video game? The story behind the excellent The Seance of Blake Manor, whose developers were changing integral parts of the design six months before release, might help answer that question. New column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

The doctor, Ruairi Callaghan, appears at first glance to simply be attending the Séance with his aunt Fiadh. But it would be remiss to believe anyone at Blake Manor does not have their own motives to be here...

Much like O'Finn, Fiadh appears reluctant about the Séance. She appears to have the weight of the world on her shoulders. Is she here to try and stop the Séance?

The team are checking out until 2026 now. Thank you all for your enthusiasm and support of The Séance of Blake Manor. We will see you all in the new year!

The son of Jonathan Blake and heir to Blake Manor, Walter Blake watches the goings on from a high window in the Residence away from the guests. What must he think of Séance?

Kicking myself for not getting to The Séance of Blake Manor sooner. A gothic mystery delight from the budding personalities of its cast to the grassroots detective mechanics that are in-depth but very intuitive. And, as the cover art shows, the entire thing is stunningly illustrated. Unforgettable.

Miss McLeod's faithful and protective Miss Victoria Lau. How far would she go to protect Ivy? And is she really here just to accompany the young Scottish woman?

PKAY THIS GAME ITS ONE OF THE BEST OF THE YESR AND THE WRITING IS STELLLLLAR
