The Blackwell Legacy Download PC

The Blackwell Legacy is a graphic adventure video game developed by Wadjet Eye Games for the Microsoft Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android. It is the first part of the Blackwell series and follows Rosangela Blackwell, a young freelance writer living a solitary life in New York City. She experiences headaches throughout the day and it culminates in a ghost named Joey Mallone making an appearance in her apartment. It is revealed that Rosa is a medium like her aunt and that her job is to help ghosts that are stuck in the real world move on.

Gameplay

The Blackwell Legacy is a point-and-click adventure, where the player can interact with objects and characters of interest by clicking on them. A left click interacts with objects and people, and directs Rosa where to go, while right clicking allows examination of items. There is an inventory that houses all of your items, whatever oddities you collect during your adventure. Rosa carries along a notepad, where she writes down any important names or keywords. While trying to figure out connections between certain people or objects, two terms can be combined. That often gives the players a clue as to what to do next. The game is designed in the way that (fully voiced) dialogue and characterization play a big part in the game.

Development

The game runs under the Adventure Game Studio engine. Due to technical issues, it has remained a Windows-only title at the beginning, even though the runtime itself has been ported to Linux and Mac OS X already. Ian Schlaepfer was a designer of the characters art, while Chris Femo and Tom Scary did the backgrounds., which include some of the New York cityscapes, like the Bellevue Hospital, the Queensboro Bridge, and more.

The project originally began as Bestowers of Eternity, and was released as free-to-play in 2003. Subsequently, it was decided for the project to be extended and redone into a proper commercial product, which ultimately became The Blackwell Legacy.

Reception

Upon its release, The Blackwell Legacy was met with "generally favourable" reviews from critics for the Microsoft Windows, with an aggregate score of 80% on Metacritic.

It was nominated for 4 AGS Awards in 2006 and won the award for Best Character Art.
