The Seance of Blake Manor [PC - 90] www.metacritic.com/game/the-sea... "Sure, The Séance of Blake Manor is an autumnal treat filled with spooky scenes but it is also that most joyous of discoveries: a game that challenges, delights, thrills and educates in equal measure." - Guardian

Seance of Blake Manor is awesome and I have this dialogue to prove it

Hi! this is a reminder to people who would like to be considered for an award for the AIAS narrative award for their game, especially if it is a deep, hours long, reactive RPG with branching!!!!! please allow us time to play your game and submit it here: www.interactive.org/awards/29th_...

I need more information about the Prince of Wales’ accent (a sentence I never thought I’d write).

How cool is this? I grew up near Watling Street, and we were always taught about its Roman origins- but seeing the whole map is extraordinary!

Hey game dev friends, if you're in need of a senior producer please let me know. Most recent experience is primarily in VO/PCAP/Localization production but also have produced design, art, and engineering teams aplenty over the last 13 years.

Drinking with a game director at a launch party. He said something through all the free wine that still sticks with me. "Making a game is like landing a plane while you are building it, and the plane is on fire."

Eurogamer calling Old Skies "Compelling and existentially terrifying" is probably the most flattering compliment the game has ever received.

Do folks have games they want to try/finish before the end of the year as "GOTY homework"? Or lesser-known 2025 Indies you think more people should play?

Game #34 of 2025 completed: The Seance of Blake Manor. An open ended detective game that is so thrilling in so many ways. The story and writing are equally strong. This game is very cool. I hope more people play it. Great work by @spookydoorway.bsky.social

"The Séance of Blake Manor is the kind of mystery that makes you want to believe – and a reminder that gaming can be truly magic." - 4.5/5 Thank you GamesRadar+

The Séance of Blake Manor review: "Like horror Clue come to life, this supernatural mystery against the clock is incredibly immersive"

"Weaving together mythology, magic, and historical detail, each case you solve fairly sticks to the rules, no matter how supernatural." My Seance of Blake Manor review! @spookydoorway.bsky.social @rawfury.bsky.social

The Séance of Blake Manor (Spooky Doorway, 2025)

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...

The time management mechanic in the Séance of Blake Manor is both very neat and also very stressful. I have absolutely no idea how much time I can afford to spend on anything and it's really good

This bundle should see you through the dark winter months- such good adventure games!

As someone with memory problems: yes, learn to say sorry, do what you can to get any new pronouns to stick (for me it’s saying them out loud when I see them on socials). Just be kind and don’t make it about you. On the flipside: your deadname? Gone forever down the memory hole.

Is there a specific circular logic lesson GPs have where they insist you have to “try to fix it yourself” before they give you an appointment (!) and then when you finally see them, they blame the things you did to fix it yourself…for somehow causing the problem in the first place?

Also Old Skies is just a seriously good game, like really good. If you like smart point&clicks and don't get this one, I cannot help you. It had me choke up at several points, and also laugh out loud; it is well written and the acting by Sally and Ed is superb (and they both are just treasures too).

Played Dispatch episode 5 + 6 and The Seance of Blake Manor tonight. Dispatch was fantastic yet again and had 1 moment that is in my running for top 20 moments of the year. Hit a pivotal point in Blake Manor and that moment is 100% hitting my top 20 this year. Maybe top 10. I LOVE VIDEO GAMES.

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

Two new games, Arc Raiders and The Seance of Blake Manor, have matched Hades 2's 94 rating, shaking up 2025's top-rated game race just before Game of the Year season. Both are rising indie hits with growing buzz.

Old Skies is part of the Story Rich promotion on GOG at the moment! www.gog.com/en/promo/202...

GIANT SPOILERS FOR OLD SKIES FROM THE BEGINNING! Six months after launch, I feel like it's safe to start sharing more spoilery stuff- anyone who's played knows that's basically... the whole game. Here's a little montage of some of my favourite acting moments playing Fia Quinn in Old Skies:

Trash Goblin won TIGA's Diversity In Games award last night! For "Shining a light on inclusion, creativity, and community"! Woo!

Loco Motive is a finalist in tonight’s TIGA Awards for Best Puzzle Game! 🏆 We’ll be at the ceremony and are looking forward to connecting with the other amazing nominees!

Hey! I've just reviewed The Séance of Blake Manor for @pcgamer.com - come take a look! www.pcgamer.com/games/advent...

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.

It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us

QUEER GAME OF THE MONTH: November 2025 - Heartspell: Horizon Academy! This warm and cozy match-3 game is worth your time this month!

The Seance of Blake Manor is my Blue Prince aftermath.site/seance-of-blak...

My partner has been wanting to get another dog for a bit now. But since we’ve started playing Old Skies together, she’s decided to name that new dog “Fia.” I feel like this is important information for @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social and @sallybeaumont.bsky.social to know.

Felicia Day is streaming The Seance of Blake Manor and just said “bitchy!” upon hearing my first line! Very proud moment!

Wrapped up my first three days at Blake Manor last night - an absolute tour de force of spooky feels, really nailing the "this ending was inevitable, but not inescapable" vibe of the best folk horror. Five thumbs up

The sale is almost over! Vampire Therapist is an adults only game with no sex or violence depicted. It's like My Dinner with Andre with more jokes and deep therapist involvement. See, it's adults only because kids would hate it.

The concept of 'bad video game narrative' is almost this free-floating referent that can be conjured up in/from a vacuum, independent of the game itself, often with an undercurrent of vitriol towards games narrative as an idea. Often this is coming from people who'll proudly admit to not reading.

Still think there’s good money to be made making a Halloween Adventure sale called “adventure games are undead”

Been seeing an interesting thing on social media with both fighting games and adventure games, where people who haven’t played them since the 90s will say “I wish they still made X genre” or “there aren’t any indie games in X genre”, when they’re more active than they’ve ever been

I heard there was a statue tall That sneered at folk and commanded all But you don't really care for symbols do ya It goes like this the feet the fist The head that fell the aim that missed The long lost king whose name was Ozymandias Ozymandias Ozymandias Ozymandias Ozymaaaaandias

The word "versatile" gets bandied about a lot in voice acting, but Jett is SO versatile. They can turn their vocal chords to so many characters- and do it with style.

This is the highest of honours.
