The Séance of Blake Manor is a gothic detective mystery set in the moody, fog-shrouded west of Ireland in 1897. You take on the role of private investigator Declan Ward, who is called to the remote and ancient Blake Manor to look into the sudden disappearance of a young woman named Evelyn Deane. What makes the task even stranger is the fact that the manor is hosting a group of mystics and spiritualists from all over the world, gathering for a grand séance on the night of Halloween, when the veil between the living and the dead is said to be at its thinnest.
The core challenge of the investigation is a constant ticking clock. You have only 48 hours to locate the missing woman and uncover the full truth before the sinister ritual is completed. Every significant action you take, whether it's conducting a lengthy interrogation or solving a complex environmental puzzle, consumes precious time, forcing you to be meticulous and efficient with your choices. You must thoroughly explore the haunted, dimly lit corridors of the manor, discovering clues that point toward a mounting conspiracy that involves both human deception and supernatural influences.
The gameplay unfolds as a first-person narrative adventure, requiring you to observe the manor's eccentric guests and staff. You'll record all evidence and contradictions in your detective journal, utilizing the collected information to logically deduce the next steps of your investigation. As you delve deeper, the line between reality and the paranormal rapidly begins to blur, immersing you in a richly detailed story inspired by Irish folklore and Victorian spiritualism. Prepare to exercise your wits and maintain your composure in the face of genuine dread within The Séance of Blake Manor.
