Paranormal investigation with a retro soul.

Blackwell Bundle, four supernatural adventure games from publishers of Resonance in a DRM-free package, is available on GOG.com for only $9.99 (that’s 33% off!) for the next week.

Blackwell is an indie series of retro-style point-and-click 2D adventures consisting of four games: The Blackwell Legacy, Blackwell Unbound, Blackwell Convergence, and Blackwell Deception. The game’s main character is Rosangela Blackwell, who discovers a family secreat after her only relative, her aunt Lauren Blackwell, dies. She’s a medium, and she finds an unlikely friend in the form of Joey Mallone, a sardonic ghost from 1930s. From now on it’s Rosa’s and her new spirit guide’s job to investigate supernatural cases in NYC and set the troubled spirits to rest.

Blackwell Bundle offers everything a classic-adventure fan would ever want from a new release. The story is engaging, features plenty of drama, some bitter humor, and dialogues that will suck you in like a good ghost novel. The game requires you to to switch between Rosa and Joey to talk to different living or ghostly characters and solve puzzles which are both logical and challenging. Add some retro pixelated graphics, great voice acting, and an original score, and you’ll find the Blackwell Bundle to be a quality adventure series that is not only an easy recommendation for the fans of the genre, but also a good starting point for those who weren’t lucky enough to play some of the classic point-and-clicks from the Golden Age of adventure games 20 years ago.

Blackwell Bundle is available on GOG.com with a 33% special release discount--for the next week you can get the game $5 off for just $9.99. This offer lasts until Tuesday, June 5 at 6:59 AM EDT.

DukeNukemForever: GOG, you should hightlight that Deception is included, which wasn't in any indie bundle yet. Deception alone costs around 10$.

Edit: Maybe too late, but Blackwell Quadrology would be a better name, especially since the first three games were also sold as Blackwell Bundle.
10$ is with discount. even 15$ after that. while it has been in several bundles.

Deception is the newest game, only the old bundle with the first three games were bundled. Except maybe steam it wasn't in any bundle yet. On the developers homepage it costs 10$ without taxes, for us europeans is buying from GOG on sale now the cheapest way to get it. At the moment I don't know any other store where I can get Deception drm-free beside GOG and the developers page.

Supporting GOG and having all your games on one shelf is fine, I guess, but imo some of the indie titles on here are a bit too overpriced.....especially as several of them have been in bundles for alot less.

(I dunno if this is a good deal for all four games if one has never bought any of them yet. Anyone care to fill me in on this?)

Wadjet Eye Games promised Resonance will not be in any indie bundle in near future. Then, how about this one?
Posted May 29, 2012
4 adventure games in one, now that's tempting. Most likely will pick this up.

I've always wanted to buy these, and was waiting for the best chance to snag them all at once. Looks like this is it, then.

This bundle included four games, but they're all quite short. Maybe around 60 - 90 minutes for each one. It's like 4 episodes rather than 4 games if you take the gameplay hours into consideration.

I am strapped for cash most of the time so I won't be buying these games here if I can get them in bundles(Or the first 3 anyways) for less. If GOG's version is cheaper for all four games(when bought at once) then I may save up for them and/or wait for a sale next year sometime.

Great games.
They definitely have a place here at GOG.
Great releases for the adventure gamers during the last few weeks.

The old bundle with the first three games costs 20€ (proxy says 20$) on gamersgate. Deception costs 10$ from the developers page without taxes, so wer are above 30$. And please, stop comparing to indie bundle sales, which are special sales and not regular prices. 15$ for all four games of the series is a good price.

Edit. Checked steam page, the bundle with all four games costs 19€ for me and proxy says 20$.

If they're short then that's all the more reason to want to save money when buying them.

Still is buying them here cheaper? Or buying them in the bundles(considering all the factors)?

Is it 10h of gameplay (so it states on gamepage) per episode or per bundle?
Posted May 29, 2012
HOLY CRAP.

I really don't know what to do. I've been wanting Deception for a while but I already have the other three (and their soundtracks) from a past Indie Royale bundle. Geez...
