Neil Gaiman (The Sandman, Coraline) has just announced he is working on his first-ever videogame, Wayward Manor.
The game is being developed by The Odd Gentleman, who have previously worked on The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom and Flea Symphony. Wayward Manor is due to be released this Fall for the PC, Mac, and "tablets."

Set in a 1920s Victorian Gothic pastoral estate, WAYWARD MANOR players unravel the mystery of a ghost (player) seeking a peaceful after-life. After a remarkable cast of characters moves into Wayward Manor and wakes him from his post-mortem slumbers, the ghost must find ever-more inventive and brilliant ways to scare them away. As the ghost learns more about the living characters, he also learns more about his own death and after-life, and the danger they are all facing.(...)
“For quite a while there's been a story that I've wanted to tell, something inspired by the kinds of films that I loved when I was a kid,” said Gaiman. “But I kept running into the same problem: it didn't really feel like a novel. It felt like something that you would have to experience yourself. So today, I'm proud to announce my first-ever game, WAYWARD MANOR.”
