About This Game Wayward Manor invites you to jump into the afterlife of a disgruntled ghost, trying to reclaim his house from its newfound owners. Set in the 1920s, this puzzle/adventure game transports players to an era of dark screwball comedy where they must unlock the secrets of a twisted mansion. Players will discover the quirks of Wayward Manor’s unwelcome guests and choose how to prey on their darkest fears. StoryThe Budds, a dysfunctional family of misfits and eccentrics, have brought their own abysmal possessions into your humble abode and stifled your power. Each level is a playground for scares where players earn fear to take back control of the room. If you want free reign over your mansion once again, you must drive the Budds mad with fear using only your imagination and their hideous belongings. History What started as a Lego prototype that The Odd Gentlemen and Neil Gaiman played together one afternoon, soon became a unique collaboration to tell a story through a nonlinear puzzle/adventure game hybrid, where the player learns about the characters and world through their observations and discovery. First launched on the website WhoHauntsNeil.com, Wayward Manor has been slowly unveiling its story and world to a whole new audience. Wayward Manor is Neil Gaiman’s first foray into video games. Features ● Discover 9 quirky inhabitants each with their own desires, fears, and anxieties. ● Possess ghastly furnishings to manipulate the Budds into dire consequences. ● Level up as you absorb fear to take control of each room ● Pleasantly dark tone reminiscent of old Hollywood whodunit mysteries. ● Five floors, each filled with new items to posses and new ways to terrify. ● Find secret scares and multiple solutions to every puzzle ● Musically themed characters each represented by their own instrument. ● A story crafted and narrated by Neil Gaiman ● Featuring art from the Eisner award winning artist Chuck BB 7aa9394dea Title: Wayward ManorGenre: Adventure, Casual, IndieDeveloper:Moonshark, Inc.Publisher:Moonshark, Inc.Release Date: 15 Jul, 2014 Wayward Manor Free Download [Torrent] wayward manor gameplay. wayward manor pc download. wayward manor review. wayward manor pc download. wayward manor gameplay. wayward manor. wayward manor game. wayward manor review. wayward manor game. wayward manor I've been reading some bad reviews of this game, I think written by people who expected something different from what they got. It's a relatively short but cute, enjoyable point-and-click puzzle game. You play a ghost, who can make items in his house move in order to scare the residents. By clicking the items in the right combinations and at the right times, you are able to construct elaborate scares that will eventually cause your unwelcome houseguests to leave. The puzzles are rarely that difficult, but they can be tricky if you don't use a little imagination. I especially enjoyed harassing the old man with a crossbow, making him shoot arrows into people's butts and set things on fire. It has an intro from Neil Gaiman and the art direction looks like something he would design, but don't buy this game solely on the Neil Gaiman name. Buy it if you like a clever family-friendly, puzzle game with some replay value and a unique art style.. It's fun game and dialogues are hilarious. Character designs are unlikable and ugly though.. Wayward Manor has a certain charm, and some quirky humour. There is a lot of competition in the mobile style puzzle genre, and it holds up moderately well.You will be performing the same tasks repeatedly, but there is variation in how you accomplish them.My main niggles are that the camera angles aren't always ideal, and the rather limited voice overs. It advertises with narration by Neil Gaiman, but this is only during very short cutscenes. The main game has no voice overs at all.For a mobile game that would be iffy, but on pc this just feels rather lackluster.All in all I would say this is worth picking up, but perhaps only during a sale. This game might also make more sense on mobile/tablet, so you might want to wait for that release instead.. A lot of people seem to not like this game. I'm not exactly sure why. I like it. Neil Gaiman does an excellent job with the short narrations. And the entire concept of an old house calling on a ghost to haunt the current annoying residents out is in no way a new concept but it is done well here. The artwork is interesting. You won't see much like it. Now some are really hating it because they just can't seem to get why everything is so...well ugly. However, I see that it is all based on Victorian style cartooning, (please go look up Alice in Wonderland and look at the original artwork by John Tenniel, you'll see exactly what I'm referring to.) So its not supposed to look pretty by todays standards, its supposed to look the way it does and I find that its quite charming. The puzzles; if your an adult or near adult then I imagine this game will be rather easy and will just become tedious to you. If however, you have children or if you are a child then the puzzles will be challenging but not too much so. Now the Music, at first the music isn't the worst thing in the world but yes it does become very very irritating. The sound effects are very repetitve and will make you want to shut off the sound. At least they did with me. Lastly, the bugs, yes there are some serious bugs. One is that the objects sometimes don't interact with the enviroment like they are supposed to. Sometimes the items at the end of the level when they are all flying around the room will indeed go through each other or through the walls. And yes sometimes the game will in a sense freeze up because the people wont run out of the room but rather just run around the room trying to get out and you will have to restart the level. As it stands currently I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars. If they fixed some of the bugs, then maybe would consider raising it to a 4 out of 5.. About half way through the game and having a great time! Love the art direction and the puzzles are a lot of fun, I'll definitely go back to solve them in different ways. Ran into a few minor bugs, but nothing that stopped me from playing. Defintely worth it for the music alone.
