The story behind this game had a little Harry Potter vibe. It's staged in an old mansion that's filled with mystery. The animals also felt like peculiar beasts. Since the different characters were portrayed as different households, it felt like Dumbledore left a mystery for his students to solve. We thoroughly enjoyed this concept and had a great time solving Mr. Ferri's mystery. Although I was secretly hoping for a "happily ever after ending", the one provided was more realistic. What gate will Scarlet Envelope have us open next?
Unique!

Wild Mansion of Mr. Ferri is unique in every sense of the word! It’s true, this game sticks with the general ‘mystery’ theme but steps away from the crime-y / whodunnit vibe of Breakfast for a Serial Killer and Cabaret in Lapin Blanc. Instead, you have a lot of information to sift through in what feels more like a scavenger hunt and a ‘grand finale’ minimal online interface that rounds out the story nicely. It’s more narrative heavy than I expected and we spent a lot of time with each individual character understanding who they are. Despite the lack of murder, I felt like I was on the set of the film Knives Out, complete with colourful and eccentric characters!


Difficult but Fun!

The Scarlet Envelope series continues to surprise and entertain with their genre-hopping setup.
