Corentine Quinn. An English noblewoman and head of her household. Voiced by Maggie Bain
Ms Quinn, an English noblewoman clearly of good standing. Her demeanour is anxious, hurried even. She appears to be looking for something at Blake Manor, something besides the Séance.

Michael Skerritt. An old-money gentleman in the winter of his years. Voiced by Michael Bache
An older gentleman, clearly of means. He is a strange addition to the Séance crowd as he appears to have no magical inclination. He gives little away, why is he here?

I cannot rave enough about The Seance of Blake Manor. Had me absolutely obsessed from the start. Finished yesterday, about 18 hours for what I would call the 'best' ending. 10/10, GOTY shortlister for sure.

Ines Barbosa. A Brazilian woman seeking information. Voiced by Isabela Rescala
The Brazilian woman Ines Barbosa has a determined look about her, she wears foreign fashion with local items including what appears to be an old trinket. Could that belong to who she wishes to contact at the Séance?

Clair Obscur leads the AP's list of 2025's top video games
In a year in which technology news was dominated by artificial intelligence, the outstanding video games were still being designed by human beings.
We're thrilled to see The Séance of Blake Manor listed at number 6 on the AP's list of 2025's top video games! 🤩
It "digs deep into Irish folklore and history, adding an urgent element of class struggle to a very effective ghost story."
