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.

I am CAPTIVATED by Blake Manor. The stunning style, the most excellent detective mechanics, all those suspicious guests skulking around the hotel at their own schedules, it is really living up to the promise of those first screenshots years ago.

Indie Recommendation: The Séance of Blake Manor From out of nowhere comes one of 2025's best games - a murder-mystery set in 19th Century Ireland with outstanding writing, smart investigation systems, ravens, ghosts, druids and more. WATCH: youtu.be/0WQlXo0hjlY (by @spookydoorway.bsky.social)

Happy The Séance of Blake Manor release day! @spookydoorway.bsky.social #TheSeanceOfBlakeManor #AdventureGame

So...The Séance of Blake Manor is my favorite game of 2025 so far. A first person murder mystery with detailed investigation mechanics, superb writing, and atmosphere. Also the best game about Irish History I've ever played Bravo @spookydoorway.bsky.social 👏 store.steampowered.com/app/1395520/...

Still in the midst of playing this one but it’s amazing so far. Creepy as hell and drenched in Irish mythology that makes me want to look outside of the game. They’re doing a lot to stand out in the genre, but I’m most impressed by how many threads they weave without it being overwhelming. So good!

We're at the top of new and trending games on Steam here in ireland, which is nice!
