The Blackwell Series

Rosa Blackwell

I've read much about the Blackwell series of indie point and click adventures and after the recent release of the latest entry in the series, The Blackwell Deception, I finally gave them a spin.

Written by Dave Gilbert, the games follow the story of medium-against-her-will Rosa Blackwell and her ghost parter Joey Mallone, bringing peace to the restless souls of recently deceased New Yorkers.

While I am still waiting for the DVD package I ordered, containing all four games of the series, I got to download the two latest ones: The Blackwell Convergence as well as aforementioned Blackwell Deception.

Another day, another satisfied spook.

The games, running at a decidedly oldschool 640x480, also feature a great, jazzy soundtrack. Listen for example to Rosa's Theme from the Blackwell Deception:
