I randomly came across the game again recently and was flooded with the many amazing memories of me sitting on the cold hardwood floors of my house and getting really spooked at the ghosts in the hall and the scary creatures. This game had so much story that I can appreciate now and that has molded me into the person I am today. I still am waiting for the next chapter. Hopefully you guys are developing well. ### 5/5 — Update? *2025-08-01, version 1.7.4* Volume 2 is out, but only first two books. When will the rest come out? I love this stuff and want more!!! ### 5/5 — Love this game *2025-07-10, version 1.7.4* I first played this game when only the first 2 chapters were out and I was around 12-13, it is one of my favorite games of all time! I’m 21 now and still love it and hope book two comes out soon. I hope it has not been canceled. ### 5/5 — Best Interactive Story Ever for the Magical Mystical Autumn Vibes *2025-07-01, version 1.7.4* I discovered this interactive book/game when I was in 8th grade and am now a full grown adult. This game is genius and has been able to captivate me for over a decade. I run back to it every Autumn for the vibes and to feel like I am apart of the Weirdwood world. However, I yearn for the day the second game installment will be released so the story can continue…I have been waiting over 2 years now and thought it’d be out soon after I participated in its testing phase in 2022. ### 5/5 — Really love this, but where’s part 2? *2024-11-27, version 1.7.4* This was super cute, and I enjoyed it a lot (tho I still haven’t beaten the last snake puzzle - that needs to have directional arrows as an option for moving the snake b/c sliding my finger across the screen doesn’t always work). But there’s an announcement for part 2 in 2017, yet I don’t see anything in the App Store. Did I miss something? ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-11-04, version 1.7.4* This app has tons of great puzzles to solve and interesting mysteries I love this series of 6 books so much that I read the whole series 2 and a half times. There is nothing wrong no glitches no problems nothing just a amazing story I love it :) ### 2/5 — 7 years??? *2024-10-06, version 1.7.4* I myself have played weird wood manor and to be honest it was great and somehow with the help of my dad he got me in to the testing of the second game,I loved it tho it was a bit glitchy when loading in it was also great,BUT! It’s been Seven years!!! And I don’t know why I’m writing this because I think (well I know,because it’s been seven years!!!) that the developers have friggin given up on the game!And it has so much potential (especially since I’ve seen part of the second game)and I really think that they shouldn’t have given up on it :( ### 5/5 — Years of Fun! *2024-10-03, version 1.7.4* We’ve had it for years, and we’ve enjoyed it many times! I highly recommend this app for anyone! This is ingenious, and I hope that it continues to be supported for years to come! ### 5/5 — Where is Volume 2? *2024-08-24, version 1.7.4* This is an amazing interactive book. However Book 2 is not available in Australia. Please can you add this to Apple Australia. Thanks ### 5/5 — So much fun! *2024-06-26, version 1.7.4* When is volume 2 going to be available? Your website says September 2023. It’s almost September 2024 and no updates. It appears it might be available outside of the US…? ## Frequently asked questions about Weirdwood Manor ### What is Weirdwood Manor?
