nice change of pace

an actual manor with bright and lit room
not dark and gloomy horror mansion like most horror games, since i mostly pay action/horror games (like RE series)

thanks to gamepass i now know there's such beautiful manor like this. i wish there's more games with similiar vibe (bright, and actually habitable manor), if anyone know, do tell

The Witness does not have a manor, but it does have a similar atmosphere, it feels a lot like this. Another visually similar and fun game, is Viewfinder. Both are excellent puzzle games.

If you'd like a game that combines bright graphics with a horror vibe, take a look at Brighter Day. It's pretty unique in that way, and it's very cheap nowadays:

It doesn't take place in a manor, though. It starts in an office building, and then goes on to open spaces and eventually tunnels. I wrote a review about it here, in case you want more information:

There are lots of games that take place in a house or manor, but you're right, many of them have a horror theme and the environments tend to be dark and gritty. A game that impressed me a lot recently with its beautiful and detailed environments is actually Hogwarts Legacy. It can be played without any prior knowledge of the Harry Potter universe (and actually serves as a good introduction to many of its concepts), and Hogwarts itself is huge, beautiful, and has lots of details to discover.

I wrote a review for that one as well:

none of them are actual manor though, but a good suggestion nonetheless

This is a terrible game to suggest without giving the context that it's a parody of the earlier game, The Witness. I'm not saying The Looker is a bad game - it's a fantastic game - but you really should explain to people why it exists. Otherwise it's like recommending people watch 'Scary Movie' before they've seen 'Scream'.
