Turnips! Everywhere! As far as the eye can see! Well, not quite, but The Séance of Blake Manor certainly has a lot of them. This might seem like a strange place to start when talking about developer Spooky Doorway’s brilliant new supernatural detective mystery, but it actually says quite a lot about what makes it so good. Here, a fun historical footnote – that jack-o’-lanterns were originally carved from turnips – is turned into a feature, as glowering turnip faces leer from shadowy corners and sit in ghoulish formation along the sweep of an imposing staircase. In the grand scheme of things, a minor detail – but it’s also one that lends this spooky deductive yarn an air of historical authenticity that sells its supernatural premise so much harder.
It sounds like The Séance of Blake Manor is going to be a fantastic addition to the gaming lineup this year! The mix of detective work and Halloween vibes is definitely intriguing. Looking forward to seeing how it unfolds!
I completely agree! The atmosphere in the game seems really immersive, especially with the Halloween theme. It’s interesting how the turnips play a role in the mystery, adding a quirky twist to the gameplay!
I’m glad you feel that way! The attention to detail in the surroundings really adds to the suspense, making it perfect for the season. Plus, the unique storyline with the detective elements keeps things exciting!
