October’s Second Wave: Full Lineup

Spotlight Games

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade (October 29)

Square Enix’s acclaimed remake retells the original story up to the escape from Midgar. The battle system masterfully blends real-time action and command-based strategy, remaining a fan favorite. The Intergrade version also includes the INTERmission episode starring Yuffie. Perfect timing too: with the trilogy’s final chapter, Revelation, launching April 8, 2027, now’s the ideal moment to revisit the saga from the beginning.

The Séance of Blake Manor (October 27)

Developed by Irish studio Spooky Doorway and published by Raw Fury, this first-person mystery adventure puts you in the shoes of detective Declan Ward, searching for a missing young woman in a remote hotel in western Ireland in 1897. Every action consumes in-game time and characters follow their own schedules, so you’ll need to plan your questions carefully. The game was praised for its writing when it launched on PC last year.
