One way we're expanding on the genre is with count the difference instead of spot the difference. So when crazy stuff starts happening you have to get through it to progress. This enables us do more fun stuff to mess with players than other anomaly games. #horror #indiegame #screenshotsaturday

Framed instructions asking the player to observe the differences between the primer floor and current floor's paintings, bookshelves and plants.

Every floor is a chance to collect mysterious items that come with a bit of lore and maybe a secret for the observant... Why are these books here? What does it all mean? (I had a lot of fun coming up with these designs for each anomaly in our game 😄) #screenshotsaturday #nogenai #indiegame

We learned adding a sign saying don't pay attention to the rooms is a sure fire way to get players to look into the rooms. Definitely nothing to see there... You can believe the Manor 😇 #screenshotsaturday #horrorgame #indiegame

Sign that says "Ignore everything else. Don't pay attention to anything in the rooms."

Creepy room with post it notes on the wall and strange color lights going in odd directions.

Part of the fun of working on your own indie game is hiding little easter eggs in the details... So for #screenshotsaturday I wanted the showcase the wallpapers I made for each of the Manor's wings. #indiedev #gameart

Four wallpapers: one green with abstract quill and inkwell, red one with various art tools, blue one with music icons plus bees, and a black one with different symbols connected to each other with lines.

Four paintings surround a painting of a woman offering an apple. The paintings are green with a note pad symbol, red with a palette symbol, blue with a lute symbol and black with {;}.

Demo players often assume all of the wings of the Manor will be hallways with the same kind of anomalies... Excited for everyone to find out how different the other wings are. #CozyHorror #IndieHorror #screenshotsaturday

For #screenshotsaturday: one of the ways we're expanding on the anomaly genre is the Manor can change itself to mess with you but you still have go through and count everything... The hallway is upside down now? And what do you mean harder glitches appear?? #gamedev #indiedev #NoAI

Turning Manor - By developer @sabbaticalgames.bsky.social, this is a fresh take on the "spot the difference" experience that is constantly messing with your head. You only have to be cognizant of about 17 things, but when the world starts turning on you, even counting higher than 5 can prove tricky.
