The Ghosts of Blackwood Manor (2023, Stefan Vogt)

After almost one year of developments Stefan Vogt finally has been released his new interactive horror game – among with many platforms – for Commodore 64.

The Ghosts of Blackwood Manor is a complex interactive fiction piece written in Infocom’s advanced Z-machine format XZIP. The game has three different endings, a bad, a neutral and a good ending, depending on the player’s choices.

The Ghosts of Blackwood Manor is following the path of some of the most iconic interactive fiction works from the 80s and early 90s, trying to resemble a retro look and feel but it also aims to meet modern era expectations. There are no dead ends and the diffculty level is moderate. Generally it’s more about experiencing a story rather than drowning the player in frustration.
