I cannot recommend this game at this stage. Not because it's not a good game, because it is, and that's where comes my grief with it. To take this out of the way and pointing what so many reviews already said, the game is absolutely gorgeous. The graphics are second to none, when compared to so many indie horror games here on Steam. It looks amazing, unfortunately, doesn't play amazing. Understandably, it's an EA …

At this point, The Mansion is most likely abandonware. You can get it on sale for $1.50, but you are paying to be part of a story that will never be concluded. --- The Mansion is... idk man. It's an environmental puzzle game loosely held together with the theme of a haunted 19th century mansion. All the puzzles are solved through looking at the environment of a particular room and then using an item in a specific …

Pretty good game. Only an hour in and I'm pretty blown away with the look of the game and it only costs around $6. The story seems pretty interesting so far and it has a lot of puzzles. I'm pretty trash at puzzles but still overall really like it. The animations are very good as well but after the second or third time you see them you kinda get annoyed with how long it takes for you to interact with each object. I …

The game is an incredibly well presented first-person adventure. Beautiful graphics and a cool soundtrack together with a mysterious story create the atmosphere of a horror movie. You will need a good eye and focus on details to solve a series of puzzles and discover the truth. The game is in Early Access so there will be more content as well as some things may change and there are bugs as expected. But even now, …

https://youtu.be/2-J3Nysxp4Y So far, so good. Only having access to part of the game at the time of my review, I can't say for sure that the game will be a winner, but it there's a lot to like already. Beautiful graphics, wonderful environments, lovely audio, challenging puzzles... It's not perfect though. Unfortunately, because the early access portion is somewhere near the middle of the game, a lot of it is …

61% of the 72 Steam reviewers we collected recommend The Mansion. The complaint that keeps coming up: game is unfinished and may be abandoned. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

While the game really is BEAUTIFUL, it has a lot of problems that made the first 2 hours less than enjoyable. First off all, the game is just so loud, even with the sound turned down significaltly there are a lot of audio files that still blow your ears off. The main character also often does a lot of weird breathing and huffing, not always fitting the…

I wanted this game to work, the graphics are beautiful when you can focus on them. When I tried to exit, the whole computer froze. I hope they fix it so I can actually enjoy this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There are enough bugs I can't know if I'm facing a bug or just can't solve the puzzle. The puzzles are not clear. An action in one room can cause a reaction in another room that you know nothing about because it never shows you. You just have to accidentally stumble upon them. The ballroom secret stairs closed off to me even though they had been opened before. I don't know if that's a bug or because an action I did in one room caused them to close but I can't get up them now. The puzzles are so…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is not an early release when it has been out for 2 years ) this developer has no intensions to bringing this game out the only thing is he is just a greedy little leprechaun and does not do nothing to earn it he will just take everyones money for this game and you just get a base game with hardly nothing and you only get bugs and no fixes people must be mentally retarded to lol or find it funny at other peoples posts and get off on it you really need professional Help

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay so while I recommend this game, so far it's incredibly difficult to say you should 100% get it. There's a LOT this game has going for it. It's early access so sure the weird texture glitches and the random floating duplicate player arm is acceptable, but some of the puzzles being obtuse and actually getting softlocked in a death loop is really annoying. I'm mostly only recommending this as a sign of good faith that the game will improve because it shows promise and the indie horror/puzzle…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Mansion could be called Daddy Issues The Game. The generic bad dad story aside, the game is worth a steep discount price, being unfinished. The graphics are good, though there are some glitches periodically. The mechanics of the game are a little tedious but balanced to the required actions of the protagonist. In all, a fun experience.

It's a Sims knock-off where you control a young "Hef" as you run the Playboy magazine and upgrade the mansion. For what it is, it's not the worst game I own, but I wasn't paying full price for it either. Just play The Sims with a nude patch.

neutral · AI labelView post →I advise against wasting your time and money on this buggy game. The story is ridiculous, and the letters scattered here and there are cringeworthy. Some puzzles are okay, but some are simply illogical, like the one in the library. One thing works, whereas two similar solutions don't. There is no explanation. Instead of a sense of achievement you end up biting your knuckles or swallowing your fist, depending on the puzzle. The cherry on top is that there are no manual saves and the autosave…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dont get me wrong, this game looks awesome and shows a ton of promise, I am very excited for full release which seems will probably 1 maybe 2 years. However at the time of this review, it has a ton of bugs, my character froze a few times just interacting with stuff. I get it that it is an EA, and I will definitely change my review once it gets to a playable state. You could definitely buy it now if you are willing to wait, but you are better off just looking at footage on Youtube for now.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love it. it is challenging yet simple at the same time. I have completed the early release that is out so far and it took me like 3 hours ( i got stuck trying to figure out what to do lol but once I figured it out it was obvious) the only part that I see as a little annoying is when you go to open a door when your light is on you have to wait for it to be put out, put away then open the door with the hand that wasn't even holding it lol couldn't we just use the other hand to open doors…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is beautiful, and attracted my attention with its cartoony art style. But unfortunately, it seems the game will never be complete. I attempted to play the game to its current completed state, but ended up getting stuck. This was because I was unsure what to do after a certain point, and all online tutorials only addressed the early access version. Without help, I had no idea what to do and so I had to drop the game before the end of Chapter 2. The game also suffers from…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolute performance garbage fire. Long, slow, unskippable animations when doing basic things like transitioning between areas. Puzzles with lots of moving parts, but no indication of what a solution even looks like so you'll just be twisting things into various configurations of things that look 'right', but they typically aren't.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game, while looking beautiful (am sold by gothic stories and setting) lacks polish. As others have mentioned the mechanics is lacking and the basic logic of holding a lantern in one hand while a key/another small item in another-i mean, cmon. What I didn't like is how abruptly the game ended for me. It does seem like a decent story is being built up here. If the game is not abandoned will be waiting for future updates. The game looks really beautiful. I love the intricate detail of things,…
