Sandman author Neil Gaiman ventures into gaming with Wayward Manor

Acclaimed author and screenwriter Neil Gaiman, known best for his Sandman series and novella-turned-film Coraline, is stepping into game development with a new project titled Wayward Manor. Gaiman says that the story for Wayward Manor didn’t begin as a game, but developed into one as he dived in deeper.

It follows an apparition in a 1920s New England house (a manor, if you will) who’s attempting to scare the house’s new residents out. Gaiman’s teaming with P.B. Winterbottom dev team The Odd Gentlemen to complete his goal — no gameplay is shown in the introduction vid, which you can see below, but it’s described as a “puzzle/adventure game hybrid.” The first piece of the game should arrive “this fall,” according to the video, and it’s headed to PC, Mac, and tablets.

The Humble Bundle tends to be associated with not just low prices, but also indie video games (and occasionally music). Today’s bundle, however, centers on the literary-minded among us, offering a set of eight e-Books for just under $10. Of course, a main staple of the bundle is its pay what you want price model, which applies here as well — should you only want six of the books, you can pay any price (one penny for six books! hot dog!). If you want access to John Scalzi’s Old Man’s War and Signal to Noise by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean, you’ve gotta shell out over the average payment price (currently sitting at $9.84). If you want that sub-$10 price, we’d suggest heading over sooner than later. Another good reason? You’ve only got two weeks before this humble e-Book bundle disappears forever.
