The Brazilian woman Ines Barbosa has a determined look about her, she wears foreign fashion with local items including what appears to be an old trinket. Could that belong to who she wishes to contact at the Séance?

The owner of Blake Manor, Jonathan Blake, is a proud man descended from a long-line of prominent Blakes before him. He appears sad, haunted even. Much like the manor itself.

Miss D'Arcy, a fiction writer seems a strange addition to the Séance attendees, could she be here for other reasons than to connect with a lost loved one?
In our latest devlog we take a deeper look at Olivia D'Arcy and how Sally Beaumont brought this character to life.

Mr Lloyd Dupre seems friendly and approachable, but an air of sadness hangs around him. He has an interesting tattoo that is unfamiliar to me, perhaps this will help to understand his motivations at Blake Manor better.

Looking every inch the medium, Hazel Erickson seems strangely tense. Should she be so unsettled around so many of her peers? What could be worrying her so?
