## What is Blackwell 2?

The second game in Wadjet Eye's Blackwell mystery adventure series

The year is 1973. The sound of a lone, ethereal saxophone drifts over the Roosevelt Island promenade, while a series of accidents plague a midtown construction site. The citizens of Manhattan take no notice of these events... but are they connected?

Embittered medium Lauren Blackwell (aunt of Rosa Blackwell) and her spirit guide Joey Mallone are the only ones who believe that there is anything strange going on, and they are the only ones who can stop an enigmatic killer from striking again...

This is the second in the series begun by "Blackwell 1: Legacy" (available now). The story is concluded in "Blackwell 3: Convergence" (available now), "Blackwell 4: Deception" (coming soon), and "Blackwell 5: Epiphany" (coming soon).

Just Adventure - "I can't recommend this game enough. It has been one of the best gaming experiences I've had."

### 1/5 — Issue while playing

*2024-07-23*

I like this game but at moments the game doesn’t freeze it just has long moments that it makes me wait until progress of a scene. When trying to enter the journalist office. When playing the dictaphone to the ghost…. I try and wait but it doesn’t help. It’s very frustrating.

### 3/5 — Love the game but got stuck on typing in the phone book

*2023-07-29*

Love the game but I'm stuck typing "Columbia University" to search for phone number in the phone book. I'm on a new Macbook and can only type in "Columbia Universit" and it will not give my number. Sadly, I can't finish the game.

### 5/5 — Pitch perfect

*2021-01-19*

This is my favourite series of games, I love everything about them I only wish there were more.

### 5/5 — Отличное продолжение

*2020-12-18*

Отличное продолжение первой части. Очень качественный квест, но если не дружите с английским языком, то скорее всего он не так понравится вам, т.к. вся соль именно в диалогах. Начинаю третью часть...

### 5/5 — Near perfect game.

*2020-06-30*

Bought all of these and they sucked me in. I loved playing them and I’m sad it’s over. If you like point and clicks you will love these.
I’d love to see some more Blackwell games, maybe a few prequels or sequels.

### 3/5 — Should be a $1.99 game

*2017-03-23*

Love this series, however it's definitely only worth $1.99.  You'll play through this in 1 sitting easily.

### 5/5 — Amazing second Blackwell.

*2017-03-13*

I loved this game. Set in the 70's, the lead character smokes like a chimney! Reminds me a lot of Lucas arts the dig in style. Great voice acting. Would love more games at this price point with similar longevity (1-2 hours of gameplay). This game adds some side quests and bonus features.

### 1/5 — Miz

*2016-07-09*

This is the 2nd game in the series that I have bought, and both were buggy to the point of being unplayable. Don't waste your money!

### 5/5 — Kaufen!

*2016-06-06*

Ganz tolles Adventure und eine großartige Serie! Kann nur jedem Adventure Fan das Bundle empfehlen, bin nun bei Teil 5 angekommen. Voller Hoffnung, dass das nicht wirklich der letzte Teil ist! Klare Kaufempfehlung :)

### 5/5 — Rápido mas ótimo

*2016-04-16*

É mais curto que o anterior, pois segundo o criador deveria ser parte do terceiro jogo, mas resolveu lançar separado porque ia demorar muito pra lançar. Pra quem gostou do primeiro vale a pena. É um prequel.
