Adventure gaming enthusiasts, get ready for a blast from the past with Cronela’s Mansion, the highly anticipated spiritual successor to Lucasfilm’s iconic point-and-click adventure title, Maniac Mansion. Developed by Spanish indie developer Straynus, this epic journey has been four years in the making and is scheduled to be released on various platforms in 2025.

Inspired by the classic SCUMM engine titles from the late 80s and early 90s, Cronela’s Mansion pays homage to the glory days of adventure gaming. It’s an open-world game that takes players on a thrilling and mysterious journey as they explore a sprawling mansion, solve cunning puzzles, and interact with a diverse cast of characters. With a branching dialogue system, players will have the freedom to shape the story according to their choices.

Being a true labor of love, Cronela’s Mansion is designed to cater to a wide range of gaming platforms, including the Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, PC, and Nintendo Switch.

Straynus, the passionate developer behind Cronela’s Mansion, shared his excitement about the project, saying, “For the past four years, I have poured my heart and soul into creating Cronela’s Mansion. It has been a challenging journey, both physically and mentally, as I have individually programmed and drawn all versions of the game from scratch. The NES version has been particularly difficult to create. Now, I am seeking funding on Kickstarter to be able to produce all the physical material for the games. If you are a fan of retro graphic adventures like me, I would be grateful for your support.”

Cronela’s Mansion invites players to unravel the secrets of a grand and mysterious mansion. It’s a rich and immersive experience set in a world of witchcraft, deceit, and betrayal, where reality and fantasy merge seamlessly. Each room is a gateway to another realm, and every step brings players closer to the truth behind the mansion’s dark history.

But beware, for Cronela’s Mansion is not for the faint-hearted. It’s a place where fear lurks around every corner and sanity is a precious commodity. Only those with nerves of steel and a keen sense of adventure will have the courage to delve deep into the secrets of this spine-chilling place.
