The next game from The Darkside Detective developer Spooky Doorway (off-topic: what a great studio name!) is the first-person mystery game The Séance of Blake Manor, where players don their detective hat to investigate a woman’s disappearance from a remote, secretive, supernatural hotel in 1897 Ireland. During The MIX’s Spring…
