Neil Gaiman to Release First Video Game

Horror-fantasy icon and best-selling author Neil Gaiman is stepping into a whole new world. A virtual one. Today the British-born writer is announcing the launch of his first , Wayward Manor.

Inspired by Gaiman's love of both supernatural and slapstick genres, the game follows the misadventures of a ghost who wants nothing more than a peaceful afterlife, and to kick out the motley crew living in the house he once called home. A gothic New England estate is the setting, with the storyline running from the 1920 all the way to the not-too-distant future. As the ghost tries harder and harder to get rid of the squatters, he also unravels the mystery of his own death and the after-life.
