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 Download For Windows 7 wayward manor gameplay. wayward manor gameplay. wayward manor game. wayward manor game. wayward manor. wayward manor. wayward manor review. wayward manor pc download. wayward manor pc download. wayward manor review When I started playing this game was a bit confusing, but after a while I found it very fun, I can play it with my granddaughter and share the scary moments, and we enjoy a lot to see the furniture all flying around the rooms.The characters are funny, the game it\u00b4s easy to play, very well designed and the music is nice (but sometimes a llitle repetitive).I definitely recomend it, hope I can see it for iPad, because I travel a lot with mine.. Good story, Neil Gaiman's writing is always a pleasure. As for the game the puzzels were to easy, the soundtrack was repetitive, and the objects you click on were either to close together (making you click one rather then the other) or not sensitive enough (ending up clicking on it several times). If I were a child I would probably have enjoyed this game more and found it more challenging but as an adult it was fairly boring. I would maybe recommend this for someone with a 10 year old.. 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.. This little puzzle game has its appeal. What I really enjoy is being able to get the achievements for the different levels AFTER I have gained all of the skulls. It doesn't make you start over the level from the beginning like other puzzle games. Anything that makes getting achievements easier is a good thing in my book.. I was really excited to play this on release but was extremely disappointed. I didn't realize you would be stuck in one room at a time per level trying to scare people by knocking down an item. I thought maybe you would get free roam throughout the house. I would not recommend this to anyone.. 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.. Wayward Manor has a certain charm, and some quirky humour.

Video Review - http://youtu.be/hsC5eO_IBhAHello I'm Cosmic and welcome to indie puzzle title Wayward Manor developed by the odd gentlemen who are well known for their début title The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom. The story of Wayward Manor comes from best selling author Neil Gaiman and is published by moon shark..Set in a 1920's Victorian Gothic estate, Wayward Manor places you in the role of a recently awoken ghost. The house itself is a sentient being voiced by Gaiman himself who tells to you about how horrific it's new occupants are and how you are now tasked with scaring them away as quickly and spookily as possible.In terms of gameplay, Wayward Manor comprises of levels. There's five levels per chapter and five chapters in all. The sad thing is as puzzle game's go Wayward Manor just doesn't hit the mark in any respect. Levels are too easier and can barely even be described as puzzles. All you end up doing is clicking the various objects in the room at the right time to scare which ever family member is in the room. The more scares you accumulate, the more clickable objects become available to you. The major issue with Wayward Manor is inherent in it's game design. Any good puzzler across the board whether indie or not has one major game design element in common, the progression of mechanics. The whole point of puzzlers is to take a mechanic and as the game progresses, add too it. Introduce new elements to that mechanic, introduce new difficulty. Sadly Wayward simply doesn't and the entire game is little more than a pointless point and click seemingly unsure of what it wants to be.One thing that irks me in particular is that in a game about haunting the inhabitants of a maision. The utter lack of interactivity and dare I say creativity in terms of the gameplay shocks me most. As I ghost I want to be able to do more that shake a suit of armor just by clicking it. The entire game feels like a poor iOS title rather than a indie PC game.On top of its lacking and ultimately repetitive gameplay, Wayward sadly suffers in the graphical department too. I was expecting more from both The Odd Gentlemen and Neil Gaiman in this regard. Both the visuals and soundtrack lack any real depth, there's no soul in the games characters, no atmosphere in the soundtrack. Graphically the game also suffers from an array of bugs and glaring oversights which just simply cannot be forgiven. One such oversight is at the completion of the level when you click the final skull and all the furniture begins to spin around the room, everything just clips right through the wall. It really does destroy what little immersion the game actually produces.Sadly the biggest disappointment for me was Wayward Manor's story. I thought with Neil Gaiman on-board at the very least there would have been a good story, after all this is the author that brought us things like Coraline. However like the rest of the game, the story is just lacking in every respect. There's no depth, no character, no life to it thus ultimately it's just bland and disappointing. The whole story feels like it is tacked on to give purpose to the endless clicking of objects.Overall Wayward Manor as an idea had tons of potential but in practice as a indie game, simply did not amount to any of it. The whole game oozes rushed, underdeveloped ideas and mechanics. Its easy difficulty and lack of content combined with a weak, soulless story leaves me with an utter feeling of disappointment.. I was disappointed enough with this game that I just stopped playing. The concept is cute, and the art is lovely, but the actual gameplay is dull, and it's rather buggy still. Honestly, I bought it because Gaiman's name is attached to it, and I'm finding myself regretful
