Finished @spookydoorway.bsky.social's The Séance of Blake Manor from @rawfury.bsky.social the other night - fully recommend it to anyone looking for their next Obra Dinn. Definitely tapped into my fondness for classic Poirot, but tinged with the Gothic and supernatural.

Everyone at Blake Manor is a suspect. Other guests, staff and even residents of the hotel. From the culprit area of the menu you can gather notes about these suspects and even eliminate them from your inquiries as you learn more. 🔍
A screenshot of the culprit screen in the mysteries menu of the game. 

On the left there is an area for facts known about the culprit.

In the middle all the culprits are shown, some are greyed out and locked if you have not spoken to them.

On the right is the highlighted suspect and the facts that you have learned about them. 

On the bottom right there is a button to use to eliminate culprits from your suspect list.

Mysteries are abundant at Blake Manor and keeping track of the many threads of your investigation is very important. This is where the Mysteries tab of the menu comes to the rescue. From here you can piece together the clues & information you have gathered & work towards solving this strange case.

You will collect a lot of clues and information during your investigation. From the Records section of the menu you can discuss topics with the staff and guests, learning more about items you find or even asking them what they think of or know about each other.
