A labor of love over four years in the making, Cronela's Mansion is a spiritual successor to Lucasfilms' fan-favorite point-and-click adventure Maniac Mansion. Featuring open-world gameplay, players explore the fictional city of Rodsem Land along with the game's titular mansion in a non-linear quest as they solve puzzles, interact with a colorful cast of characters through a dynamic dialogue system, and uncover the sprawling estate's secrets. With over 50 unique rooms to scour for clues and tons of hidden easter eggs to uncover, Cronela's Mansion is a must-play experience that no fan of the classic point-and-click adventures from the 80s and 90s should miss. 

About Cronela's Mansion:

In the depths of a majestic mansion, a story of witchcraft, lies, and betrayal is concealed, laden with nightmares that defy all known logic.

Will you dare to discover the truth hidden behind the doors of this spine-chilling place? The choice is yours, but be careful; once you cross the threshold, Cronela's Mansion could reveal more than you are willing to face.
