Item Description

The Séance of Blake Manor is a supernatural detective adventure set in Ireland during the Victorian era. Private investigator Declan Ward arrives at the mysterious Blake Manor after Evelyn Deane disappears shortly before a gathering of mystics prepares to conduct a séance intended to communicate with the dead. With the manor hiding centuries of tragedy and its residents concealing their own secrets, Ward must investigate the disappearance before another person becomes a victim.

Players take on the role of Declan Ward and investigate the manor from a first-person perspective. Interviews, interrogations, evidence gathering, environmental clues, and careful deduction are central to solving the mystery. Information discovered during the investigation can be recorded in Ward's journal, allowing players to connect clues and determine when they have enough evidence to confront suspects.

The investigation is also governed by time. Characters have their own schedules and motivations, meaning important conversations and events can be missed if Ward is in the wrong place at the wrong moment. Exploring the haunted manor, reaching restricted areas, examining its surroundings, and deciding how to spend each moment are all important parts of uncovering the truth.

The game combines classic detective mystery with Irish mythology, Victorian spiritualism, supernatural phenomena, comic-book-inspired visuals, dramatic cutscenes, and a dynamic soundtrack that reacts to the environment. The latest announcement also expands the game to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, giving console players new ways to experience the investigation at Blake Manor.
