Wayward Manor

After reading some reviews, I was wary. I could understand some of the points others were making and I went into the game worried about gameplay, graphics, and story; but I pleasently surprised. There were a few bugs here and there, but it looks like the developer is taking care of them as they find them. This would explain not encountering some of the bugs others had previously mentioned. As time goes on, I am sure there will be little to none to speak of. The graphics, although not up to the quality of some of the larger titles, has character and style. It was actually an enjoyable break from the drab color-palatte of larger games. And since this game is tagged as both indie and casual, I am to take into assumption that it isn't meant to rival a heavy-budgetted game and just live up to what it wants to be; fun. Intent aside, the rooms are fun and visually enjoyable, the characaters are amusing to watch, and the resolution seemed fine for whatever screen I played on. The game...

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...

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.

Okies, this game isn't for everyone, it has a simple quirky nature to it which some peeps may find annoying or way too simple, but if you're a casual gamer who likes something a little different and not too fussed on fancy graphics or thrills, then this may be for you. It's quirky, fun, simple, silly, easy and yes somewhat low budget, but it's alright in it's way. :)

I had a very fun charming afternoon with this game. Not sure what all the fuss is about or what people were expecting. But I found it to be a very enjoyable experience. Some of those secret scares are really challenging and rewarding. Also had no bug issues in the latest build.

To put it simply: I love this game. It's very charming. It's extremely quirky. But what makes me love this game the most is that it's...fun. Yes, it's fun. Simple, but fun. As I'm writing this, I'm only through the first chapter, but I can say this with certainty: Wayward Manor has an interesting story, cute characters, and a unique direction of art. Put all of those things together into the gameplay style (Point & Click, Puzzler) and voilà: You have a fun game! (In my opinion)

its a very good game its simple and fun to play, the characters are funny and the music complements the game. i recommend this game, all the people in the family can played and its fun wathc how diferent everybody find the solution.

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

I LOVE Wayward Manor!! It's not hard to play and still very entertaining. I really like the music and the graphics. The story is original. I definitely recommend this game!!
