Neil Gaiman And The Odd Gentlemen Are Ready To Release Wayward Manor
Last year, acclaimed fantasy author Neil Gaiman announced that he would be developing a game in partnership with the quirky studio The Odd Gentlemen. Now, it's got a release date.
Wayward Manor is a lightly comic, slightly gothic adventure/puzzle game in which players are cast as a ghost trying to scare an annoying family out of your house. The game, which was funded by donations on the game's official site instead of Kickstarter, is now ready to launch and will begin giving you the heebie jeebies on July 15.
The game will be available on Steam and also on the Humble store, where 10 percent of the proceeds will go to charity.

Our Take:
It will be interesting to see how this one pans out. I always thought Gaiman and the Odd Gentlemen were a great fit, but lately there seem to be a lot of adventure games with great aesthetics and slight gameplay.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
