Fighting through a lot of decision paralysis lately! We've got the Halloween event coming up, where I interrupt the existing schedule in order to play some spooky games! It's a stressful mess every year, but it's tradition at this point lol

This is where, for example, I've played a new Silent Hill game every single year for like a decade now. Conveniently, a new one is coming out this year! Please don't suck!

Anyway, for the puzzle game slot, I'm considering two games that, if I'm being honest, I thought were the same game because of their similar vibes and titles. Whoops! They're both well-received investigation games set in a Titular Big House and I got a press key for each of them. The question is, which one should we cover for Halloween and which one should we... maybe cover later at some undetermined time?

Both are good games. I’d say that Galley House is a better game but Blake Manor is a much more expansive/wider game.

Brennan Parker

Blake Manor seems more overtly halloween-esque than Galley House, the latter seems more versatile for any time of year IMO

Jason Sticha

I was leaning towards Galley House because I enjoyed the Roottrees games, but your point about the Halloween theme tipped me over to Blake Manor. Both look like cool games!

Raf

I really disliked the Seance. And I loved the time aspect of it, just the story was complete nonsense and for a detective game it was extremely handholdy. The Incident at Galley House was excellent though. Fingers crossed it wins!

Mateusz Lackowski

I seen couple of playthroughs of Galley House (both the og and and new glow up version), so voting for Blake Manor, but both are good choice I think.

Enki

I was not impressed with Seance, so voting for other option.

Incident at Galley House is fairly short (though obviously it's a puzzle game, so times will vary) you might end up needing a second game before October is over.

Dude Guy

I know nothing of either of these but ghost/demon nonsense sounds more Halloween-y to me.

Nick Daboar

I finished the Incident at Galley House over a weekend because it really drew me in. I enjoyed ot alot and have been waiting for Keith/Marrow to play it

Seance is good but I've seen people say it's a bit too easy and the time mechanic is tedious. I love both, but Galley House is a lot more engaging imo and the story's better
