Just finished the 4th game “Blackwell Deception” in the series and I’m just loving it - the whole series I mean. The games are a tad easy and short but just everything that good adventures are supposed to be.

Superb story and characters, engaging plots, nice puzzle mechanics, good voice acting. And the games are always fun to play.

I really hope they will be continuing the series for a good while.

yup , and the Series was getting better and better with every new Episode..

Loved the four parts with all the twists and and turn they had ... and especially that featured notebook was used very well, indeed

The baby in the 4th game was the cutest thing ever. The graphic style really suits the games and doesn’t turn me off one bit.

I absolutely love these games, they are very short but full of charming old school adventure goodness, with great atmosphere and mood. I haven’t played the fourth one yet but plan to soon, the first three were amazing.

you will find the fourth a bit longer than the previous parts, and also more polished

Not graphics-wise, it’s not more polished. The fourth is easily the weakest, in that regard.

I enjoyed all the games a lot. I honestly can’t pick a favourite. I did enjoy the notebook stuff in the first two games though (and missed it in the third).

I have yet to play The Blackwell Deception but enjoyed the first three games very much.

The notebook is back on 4th game and I don’t think it looked worse. I guess I enjoyed the earlier portraits a bit more but that’s a matter of taste really, the new ones aren’t badly done.

But the 4th game is really great, it’s indeed a bit longer with varying puzzles. I think it’s my favourite now, then the 2nd game (because Lauren is brilliant) closely followed by the 3rd. 1st game is more of an appetizer, though a very tasty one.

Hi guys, I just bought the new Indie Royale bundle and got a duplicate Steam key of the Blackwell Deception in it since I already own it on Steam. I put it in just to see what happened and it told me I already owned it so it should be free to use. Does anyone want it? First person to reply gets it and hopefully the key works (the last one I handed out on here worked just fine for the person).

I played “The Blackwell Deception” and enjoyed it. I have on my list of to do games the other three - I’m sure I’ll enjoy those too.

Good games. Didn’t really like the graphics on 2 and 4 though. I was surprised to see that all this Joe Mitchell / Joe Gould stuff was “real”. At least to some extent Wink

I’ve really enjoyed all the Blackwell games, it’s a great series.

The games are well worth another playthrough with the commentary, which provides some good insight into things like the graphical styles and why some games look a bit better than others.
