About the Game
Ireland, October 29, 1897.
I’ll waste no time, since there’s none for wasting. I write from Blake Manor in Connemara.
Yesterday, a guest went missing – a young woman named Evelyn Deane. The owner and staff carry on as if nothing has happened.
She has not left, of that I am sure.
It is October 29th, 1897, and Private Investigator Declan Ward arrives at Blake Manor to find a missing woman.
What he finds is the Grand Séance and a group of mystics who have gathered from all corners of the world – waiting for All Hallow’s Eve, the night when the veil between worlds is thinnest. The night to tear down the barrier and speak to the dead.
Interview and interrogate your suspects, keep a record of all evidence, motivations, and clues in your journal, and confront them about their motivations when you’re certain of your deductions. Uncover the truth about Blake Manor and the mysterious séance that has brought everyone together.
Navigate Blake Manor's haunted corridors and uncover its secrets as you race against time to save Miss Deane.
Investigate the manor, solve environmental clues and reach the forbidden areas of the hotel…and beyond.
But be careful - each action counts the day down. Be in the right place at the right time to catch critical events pertinent to your investigation. Everyone has their own agendas and schedules – it could truly be a loss to miss out on a quick chat by mistiming your actions. And who knows what hidden secrets lie in wait once you’ve turned in for the night...
Brought to you by the creators of The Darkside Detective and Raw Fury, The Séance of Blake Manor is depicted by a beautiful comic-book art style. Inspired by Irish Mythology and the spiritualist movements of the Victorian era, players are cast into a first-person narrative adventure, blending the supernatural with a classic detective mystery. With its striking cutscenes, compelling narrative and dynamic soundtrack that reacts to the environment around you, Blake Manor and its secrets will leave you on the edge of your seat morning through night.
...I know the West of Ireland might as well be the far side of the world, for its distance from you but there is no one else to turn to.
I hear you are an honourable man, a steadfast investigator. And – perhaps most importantly – godly.
I pray for the girl that this is true...
This game is currently only available in English language.

Hello detectives,
We’ve been so blown away by the support and enthusiasm for The Séance of Blake Manor since its launch on Monday. We’ve enjoyed reading your thoughts on social media, our Discord and in the reviews.
We are also very grateful for you letting us know about any issues that you have encountered during your investigations. We’re working hard on fixes for these and today we have released our first patch for the game.
Patch Notes
- Fixed an issue where cutscene moments that happen on an hour change should no longer cause the game to freeze
- Ruari's map should not tell people to search his room when they need to be looking somewhere else
- Examining the Well when you have only Ruairí's components, should not trigger a new lead about the well.
- Guidance has been added on Lau's map to investigate Ivy's room if you miss a certain clue
- After lunch, on day 3, if you try to re-enter the dining room, Varley should no longer use Doyle's voice line.
- Can now successfully discuss third aspect topic with Caitlin when she is in the hedge maze
- Can now successfully confront Dupre when he is in the hedge maze
- Rooms with the windows now appear visually correct for 8-9am and the lobby door now highlights
- Adding "Press L1 (LB) to sprint" should be on FTUE at start
- Names for key binds are fixed when playing on German keyboards
- Mr. Varley no longer has contradictory dialog on Day 2
- Changed Controls now save when you quit the game.
- It is no longer possible to overwrite not listed controls (e.g. 'C' for 'Timeskip')
- Look Sensitivity defaults percentage is fixed.
- The game no longer switches to mouse/keyboard mode until a new gamepad action when switching the display mode resolution using gamepad
- Exiting Well minigame without completing it no longer makes the overhead Confront/Act icons disappear
- Doyle's hypothesis is no longer unlocked too early before it is completable
- No more black screen after breakfast cutscene if D’Arcy’s mystery is already unlocked
Don’t fret this is just the first patch and anything not addressed here will be fixed in one of our other upcoming patches.
If you do experience an issue while you search for the missing young woman, please send a ticket to the helpdesk: https://rawfury.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1 so that we can investigate.
Thank you all for your continued support and Oíche Shamhna shona daoibh!
