by Greg Martin

The Séance of Blake Manor is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, with the supernatural detective game also joining Xbox Game Pass. Publisher Raw Fury and developer Spooky Doorway announced the console release on October 27, bringing the game to new platforms a year after its PC debut on Steam.

Set in late 19th-century Ireland, the game follows private investigator Declan Ward as he searches for Evelyn Deane, who has disappeared at the mysterious Blake Manor. Players must question the manor’s residents, examine their appearances for clues, and investigate their motives to uncover what happened.

The investigation relies on collecting information, connecting evidence, and identifying contradictions in witness accounts. Players will need to keep track of details and use logical deductions to progress through the mystery.

The story draws on Victorian-era society and Celtic mythology, with themes including religion, class divisions, and the supernatural. Its cast of characters each have their own secrets, which players must uncover as they investigate the manor and its residents.

The game also features a comic-book art style inspired by artists Mike Mignola, Edward Risso, and Tim Sale. Scenes and examined objects are presented through illustrated panels, giving the investigation a distinctive visual approach.

Music plays a role in the experience as well. The soundtrack changes according to the player’s location and actions, responding to the investigation as it unfolds. Branching dialogue and consequential character choices also affect how players approach the mystery.

The Séance of Blake Manor is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam. The game is also available through Xbox Game Pass.
