Developer Peanut Button has summoned players to the dinner table with the release of their comedy horror puzzle adventure title Riddlewood Manor, which is now available on PC via Steam. The game is available with a limited-time 20% discount, and the game’s soundtrack will also be available to download on November 4.
Outsmart a possessed estate where every new room could lead to an untimely death. Scour the dark corners of each room to discover clues, lore, and other helpful items to craft thoughtful solutions, unlocking a series of atmospheric escape rooms. Avoid death by piecing together the tragic story behind the Riddlewood family legacy, and, whatever you do, do not bother the possessed doll Suzie. She’s been in timeout for years now (and she likes to bite).
Succumb to the mansion’s most sinister secrets, and learn meaningful lessons even in death. Emerge outside, resurrected by a group of friendly chanting monks in the yard, run up to the front door, and try again. Explore an intricately locked house from a fully-controllable 360° first-person perspective as it finds new, inventive ways to cater to your doom.
Meet a host of critters throughout the manor that call Riddlewood’s remnants home. Discover quirky dragons hiding in barrels, goofy egg-laying chickens, and more to unravel the house’s riddles before death comes. Deduce what happened to the family by stringing together loose notes, secret symbolism, and other fragmented memories scattered throughout the estate’s haunted hand-drawn hallways.
“We love jump scares, but we didn’t want to single anyone out,” said Asaf Geva, co-founder of Peanut Button. “We included an optional jump scare warning for players to use if desired, but we also didn’t want to rely on those sudden thrills to create the game’s atmosphere. We drew a lot of inspiration from shows like “Courage the Cowardly Dog“, so we hope players laugh as much as they scream,” said co-founder Eyal Geva.
