Monday, August 5th, 2024 - Following the premiere of The Secret of Retropolis at the Cannes Festival, Peanut Button ventures into the horror genre, sharing their latest creation – a wonderfully eerie point-and-click adventure, Riddlewood Manor. The game’s Steam page launches today to celebrate this announcement. Riddlewood Manor combines whimsical horror with a rich story, intricate puzzles, and escape room-inspired challenges in an unforgettable experience. The jump scares are sure to make you shriek louder than the ghosts themselves.

Immerse yourself in the hauntingly beautiful world of Riddlewood Manor, where every room holds secrets waiting to be discovered. Solve puzzles, encounter quirky characters, and delve into the chilling lore of the Riddlewood family. With each step, you'll unveil the tragic tale of a family cloaked in mystery by piecing together their story through clues scattered throughout the manor. And don’t forget Suzie, Emily's demonic doll, who is sure to give you a fright when you least expect it.
 
"We are beyond thrilled to unveil Riddlewood Manor to the world," said Eyal Geva, co-founder of Peanut Button. "Developing this game has been an extraordinary journey, and we can't wait for players to explore the haunting and enchanting experience we've designed. We hope everyone enjoys uncovering the mysteries and puzzles of the manor as much as we enjoyed creating them."
 
Riddlewood Manor Features:
 

  • Meet the Riddlewoods: As you navigate through Riddlewood Manor, you'll uncover the tragic tale of the Riddlewood family. Learn about William, Margaret, and their daughter, Emily, whose mysterious fate is key to the manor’s dark secrets. Each room and relic in the manor reveals pieces of their story, crafting a chilling portrait of a family cloaked in mystery.

 

  • Manor Mysteries: Venture through the corridors of the manor, where secrets await at every turn. From crafting a breakfast with unappetizing pig parts to assembling a séance board with hidden clues, each puzzle you uncover brings you closer to the tragic story of the Riddlewoods.

 

  • Whimsical Horror: Riddlewood Manor blends horror and whimsy, providing an experience nostalgic of amusement park rides and Saturday morning cartoons. Each eerie room of the gothic mansion oozes dark charm, balancing moments of terror with the absurd. Comfort an eccentric dragon, feed a derpy chicken, and be wary of a sinister doll.

 

  • Into the Darkness: On a mission to purify the evil within the manor beneath the crimson sky, you’ll find yourself in an atmosphere both mysterious and macabre. Brave the sudden frights as you navigate through the ghostly halls. Be careful, death awaits with just one misstep.
