Halloween Week on Xbox: A Séance, a Dinosaur Park and Fabletown

Xbox has published its list of games arriving between 26 and 30 October, and the week leans heavily towards horror and mystery in the run to Halloween.

The dates below are as the Xbox Wire post lists them. It gives no Australian release times, and the prices it shows are in US dollars, so they are left out here.

The Séance of Blake Manor (27 October)

Raw Fury’s detective mystery arrives on Game Pass and supports Xbox Play Anywhere. It is 1897, and investigator Declan Ward has come to Blake Manor to find a missing woman.

Players interview and interrogate suspects and keep a journal of evidence. On PC it is already out, at A$29.50 on the Australian Steam store.

Mouthwashing (29 October)

Mouthwashing, a first-person horror game about the dying crew of a shipwrecked space freighter, comes to Xbox with Play Anywhere support. It is listed for pre-order.

The PC version is on sale on the Australian Steam store at A$11.37, down from A$18.95, as of 27 October.

Terrible Lizards (29 October)

Set in 1992 at Dalton’s Dinos, a Route 66 roadside attraction, this one launches on Game Pass with Smart Delivery and Play Anywhere. The staff have vanished, and a voice on the telephone asks for help finding a missing child.

The Wolf Among Us Remastered (29 October)

Telltale describes it as the definitive edition of its noir thriller inspired by DC’s Fables comics, with enhanced visuals. Its Steam page also lists 29 October, without an Australian price yet.

Queen’s Domain (30 October)

The week closes with a retro-fantasy action RPG set on the Isle of Neasied, where a holy sword lets the player fly from platform to platform.

Also on the list is Scramble Knights Online, an MMO-lite adventure listed for Game Pass as a Game Preview on 26 October.
