Release Date: July 15, 2014
An episodic adventure game set in a gothic-Victorian reality. It was created by The Odd Gentleman studio (creators of The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom) in cooperation with Neil Gaiman - comic book author and writer, known for Stardust and Coraline. In the game, we play as a ghost who leads a stable "life" after death in his former mansion. His peace is disturbed when the new owners of the house arrive.
Wayward Manor is a puzzle/adventure game hybrid that invites players to solve the mysteries of the mansion any way they choose. You play as a disgruntled ghost, trying to reclaim your house from its newfound owners. This dysfunctional family of misfits and eccentrics have stifled your power and brought their own abysmal possessions into your humble abode. Each level is a playground for scares where players absorb fear to take back control of the room. If you want free reign over your mansion once again, you must uncover their deepest anxieties and drive them mad with fear using your wits and their hideous belongings.

Game Ratings for Wayward Manor Video Game.
PC Gamer: 49 / 100 by Christopher Livingston
A promising concept but dismal execution on just about every level.
GameSpot: 4 / 10 by Cameron Woolsey
A host of glitches keep Wayward Manor feeling anything but welcoming.
Game Revolution: 1.5 / 5 by Ryan Bates
The game was meant to put players into a spooky kind of mindset, but everything about it is just frightfully boring. The Manor wants all living inhabitants out? Thanks, house; I'll show myself the door.
