Wayward Manor is an upcoming Adventure Game by Neil Gaiman and The Odd Gentleman. It began as a kickstarter and managed to reach its goal, and now has a confirmed release date of July 15th. Those that pre-ordered the game will be getting its respective Steam code upon release.
The game's plot involves a haunted house the spirit who haunts it, working to get rid of its inhabitants to have some peace and quiet.
Unfortunately there aren't many gameplay videos of the game online and the only images shown seem to be from cutscenes. For a synopsis on the characters that Neil has thought up for the game, watch them here

Wait, Neil Gaiman? Is that true? Putting this on my radar.

 

[Keyser Soze]

The developers of this + Neil Gaiman is a nice mix!

Also, Nickole (Community Manager) has promised a gameplay trailer before launch, so that should ease some fears.

I'm interested in this. Neil Gaiman and The Odd Gentleman sounds like a great combination, but the serious lack of any gameplay footage has me worried a bit.

Sounds like they will release a gameplay trailer tomorrow though.

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

Wait, this is out the day after tomorrow?
This has really flown under the radar... hopefully thats not a bad sign.

 

[Bluth54]

This game looks interesting, hopefully it's good.

 

[Tizoc]

Thanks for the info about the gameplay vid, will link it once it is up =D

 

[Tizoc]

Anyone know when Humblebundle.com is gonna give out the steam key for the game?

 

[Gaz_RB]

Well I love me some Gaiman. I'm in.

 

[Orcastar]

Gaiman is great and all, but I'm gonna need to see some gameplay before I jump on this.

 

[dirtywhirlwind]

Launch trailer (includes gameplay).

 

[Flavius]

Getting a Voodoo Vince vibe, based on the launch trailer (not mechanics, but audio/visual).

Fortunately, I absolutely adored Voodoo Vince, so I'm thinking I'll have to pick this one up. Thanks for letting me know this exists, OP!

 

[jimboton]

I liked both Winterbottom and American Gods. I want to know more.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

The soundtrack appears to be by the same guys as Winterbottom which is excellent news. Can't wait to check this out.

 

[ViviOggi]

Eager to see GAFfer impressions. Got a lot of games in the sale, talked into buying Abyss Odyssey by a friend and all I play is CS anyway so this will have to wait. I hope it's good and paves the way for more Gaiman games.

Any reviews of this game yet?

 

[Dog Problems]

I've been excited to play this for a long time now but I'm so into Guild Wars 2 at the moment that I don't care about any other games, lol. I'll play it soon, though. Hope it's good.

 

[Tizoc]

HUmblebundle.com keys are up!

 

[sector4]

I was a backer but still haven't heard anything haha

Looking forward to playing this (hopefully) soon.

what is that simpsons image, it looks like recent simpsons and that is upsetting me

you're upsetting me

Spoiler

this game should be dope

Having played the first 2 stages of Chapter 1, it's a rather neat puzzle game, with the goal is to 'scare' a character a couple of times using the items in the stage. ONce you've scared them a set number of times, you'll finish the stage. Each stage has its own set of challenges. PC ver. doesn't seem to have many graphics opions but itcould really go with some AA...
Otherwise, it's a nice 'take a break' game.

 

[Dog Problems]

Joystiq posted a review for this and didn't care for it a whole lot, they gave it two and a half stars.

But I'm curious as to what others think about the game. I still think it's something I will get into.
