"The Séance of Blake Manor" feels like a ghostly greeting before leaving me stranded in a remote Irish hotel, surrounded by strange characters and potential murderers, just before Halloween. I investigate the disappearance of Evelyn Deane, a woman the hotel manager claims isn’t missing, despite most guests holding strong, often negative opinions about her.
My detective work involves listening at doors, sneaking in with stolen keys, eavesdropping on secret conversations, and piecing together clues from crumpled letters, partially burnt notes, and polite dinner conversations. This is classic murder mystery territory, although adventure games can sometimes stray from their plots. Fortunately, "The Séance of Blake Manor" maintains its narrative focus throughout.
