    An impressive first effort in the gaming world from Mr. Gaiman. The story is engrossing, with a similar tone to Coraline and The Graveyard Book— perfectly fit for the inquisitive (and slightly macabre) teen. The gameplay offers simplistic, yet subtly challenging puzzles. There's a sense of mystery left at the end, one that makes me yearn for more. A pure gaming experience.

    I sat down with Wayward Manor for an afternoon only knowing that the game was a puzzle casual style game with quirky art. For older audience, like myself, I suggest looking at the challenges.

At first look, I was able to breeze right though the levels but when I focused on getting the achievement unlocked, then I saw that the game had more depth. I suggest that anyone that picks up this game to give it to their younger child or try to tackle the challenges because that is where the real entertainment can be found. There are some bugs but nothing that didn't keep me from completing the game.… Expand

    I can’t imagine why anyone would play this terrible game and I can’t understand why Gaiman wanted to be associated with it. [Sept 2014, p.63]

    Wayward Manor may be the worst game I've played this year.

    Unfortunately, each action is made exasperating by fudgey animation cycles which cause expected actions to defy your clicks for a few seconds as they play out. [Oct 2014, p.81]
