Rewarded myself for getting my latest podcast episode out by buying, playing, and completing, The Seance of Blake Manor. It is essentially a Knives Out whodunit game set in 1890s Ireland with Ghosts and Magic all done in a fantastic Mignola-esque art style. Heck it even plays like an interactive Graphic Novel at times. (Youtube Trailer here for you more visual folks) This was one of my favorite games of the year, possibly of all time. Like solid top 10 faves potential. I want to go back and replay it to get all of the endings before making that call. BUT here is my quick breakdown of the game: - Soundtrack: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Voice Acting: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Story: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Art style: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Ambience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - MC with the last name WARD who can see spirits and helps them to move on from this plane of existence while dealing with forces beyond his comprehension during the transitional period of the 1890s: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Though I may need my people to chat with their people about copyright infringement. I kid. BUT I want to see if they would do a Dead West DLC/Game! I wish. Where's my genie?") - Game mechanics/Puzzles: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All in all this was an insanely fun game, I sank 16 hours into my first play through. I saved almost everyone (1 died) and solved all but 2 of the mysteries because I supposedly did a thing out of order. EITHER WAY. I will be getting back to it to 100% the game. Something I have only done for a small handful of games. If you can swing it, it is on sale til the 5th of Jan! Or snag it on Humble Bundle! I am going to be chasing this high for a while. #letmehelpwithaDLCforthis!
