Neil Gaiman's Game, Wayward Manor!

On 10/21/2013 at 01:29 PM by KnightDriver

Just heard of this on Facebook. I've followed Neil Gaiman for a while now in comics. I read his American Gods novel, his Sandman series and I loved his take on Marvel characters in Shakespeare times with Marvel 1602. Now he's doing a video game that looks like Luigi's Mansion meets The Cave by Ron Gilbert. Awesome is all I have to say. It's only coming to PC/Mac/and tablets so far later this year. That's a bummer, but maybe it'll make it to consoles or handhelds sometime later. I'll be there day-one for sure!

That's definitely Danny Elfman doing the music in that Teaser Trailer.

Here's the official site of the game: http://www.whohauntsneil.com/welcome/

Would be nice to see on a console. American Gods is an amazing novel, and Neverwhere was pretty damn good, too.

I found American Gods interesting but really confusing. I think the plot needed some pruning and a little more focus. It seemed to ramble along. Wander. Maybe that's part of it though. The main character was a little lost himself, being manipulated by all the different Gods.

My favorite thing of his was that Marvel 1602 comic series. So good and the cover art by Scott McKowen was to die for.

Oh, I forgot. The first thing I saw of Neil's was the Stardust movie. That was a good one.

Whoa, cool! I'll keep an eye on that. And you really gotta read Neverwhere if you haven't. It's fantastic.

Hmmmm, I haven't read anything by him, but since I got American Gods at the last book fair of my city, maybe I should start to read it.

I heard there's a movie coming. Not sure how that's going to work, but the book was good.

What do you mean by "shakes"?

I want a console version too. I don't have a tablet device.

"shakes" is my derogetory term I use for that accursed twat of a man called "Shakespeare". I despite his works to the very depth of my soul and something I'll never tolerate in my modern media. IF I ever got that comic for free I'd use it as fire kindling!
