A dead man's soul cries out against the force of a ferocious blizzard. He cries for help. He cries for answers. Then he screams as he is torn apart like damp tissue paper. This wasn't the first time, and it won't be the last. The police are powerless to stop it, so the duty falls to the only ones who can. What force could be so powerful – and so malevolent – that it would destroy the very core of a life in order to get what it wants? Rosa Blackwell and Joey Mallone mean to find out, even if it means risking themselves in the process. The thrilling final game in the Blackwell series - "Blackwell 1: Legacy," "Blackwell 2: Unbound," "Blackwell 3: Convergence," and "Blackwell 4: Deception." Rock Paper Shotgun - "It's pretty much the perfect ending, both wrapping up and nailing a series that's been going from strength to strength since it first appeared way back in 2006."

The puzzles were fun, the dialogue engaging, and the philosophical reckoning with human mortality put emotional weight under it all. Rosa and Joey have been a comfort to me these past months. Thank you to this team for this labor of love. I will treasure these games forever. ### 5/5 — A Treasure *2025-09-20* The Blackwell games are a treasure, old school exploration adventure with some intuitive puzzles. Heavily story and character focused. Lots of suspense. None of that action combat stuff, just good story telling. The entire series is wonderful to get lost in for days. I love all of them. Unavowed is a fabulous Wadjet followup that I recommend. Wadjet can be hit or mis with their games, i don’t love all their stuff, but they’re always unique and satisfying. Gilbert knows how to weave a good tale, and I appreciate that. This series is their best imo , especially if you want strong storylines. Good voice acting and dialogue too. Just a great series all around. ### 5/5 — Thank you Wadget eye! *2024-08-12* I never met a game of theirs that I didn’t like. I even got a Windows device (the surface pro or the surface go I forget which) just so that I could play one of their games. I’d rather play on iOS. Thank you for this series. I think I started somewhere in the middle. Starting at the beginning is probably the best idea. Your dark futures bundle is mind blowing. Thank you Dave Gilbert! Your upcoming games look great. I guess I’ll have to pull out that windows device, which I hate, because it won’t stand up. It keeps falling down. I also have played at least one of your games on my Nintendo switch (the excavation of Hobbs Barrow), which is a little awkward for a point and click, until I caught on. You are on my shortlist of best game makers. It’s a pretty exclusive list. The Unavowed is fun and I think I needed a walk-through for some of it. I like that it has replay ability as well. Primordia was a little difficult to get started. Gemini Rue -mind blowing, Shardlight- mind blowing, techno Babylon- mind blowing. I can’t remember if I ever finished Shivah, but I do remember starting it several times. I wish you would stick with iOS, but I will get whatever device I need so I can play your next games to come out. I think enough time has passed so that I can enjoy playing all of these games again. I hope my device can handle it. I have a lot of medical illness and pain and it’s games like these that help get my mind off of my misery. it’s a good alternative to self hypnosis which medications can sometimes interfere with so for me it’s actually therapeutic. Keep up the good work and keep them coming, please. ### 5/5 — Just finished all 5 in the series *2024-06-07* Each one is better than the previous one. Great sound affects, lots of game play, fun characters, what can you say? It’s from the Master. ### 5/5 — Thank you Dave Gilbert *2024-01-06* I came upon the Blackwell series during a low point in my life, having been laid off and then months into a seemingly fruitless job search. They became a form of therapy for me, really putting things into perspective. Everyone will die some day. When that happens, regardless of what awaits us after death, the sources of pain and suffering in this life will fade away like mist. We’ll have to (get to) let all of it go. So why not get a head start on that now? Let go of your suffering. Focus on the good things in your life, and the good that you can do in your short time on this planet. ### 5/5 — S’il vous plaît un autre *2023-07-15* S’il vous plaît d’autre chapitres de ce jeux ### 3/5 — Bought the Bundle *2022-01-05* I’d give 5 stars except the final game in my bundle won’t load. Paid for all of them and can’t play the last game. ### 4/5 — Good story, save issues *2020-12-11* Like the other parts in the series, I enjoyed this one and the characters were interesting. However, I had issues with lost progress, and having to manually save the game detracted from the story. ### 5/5 — Phenomenal! *2020-07-03* This is a phenomenal and immersive games, made me think about the meaning of life and death and enjoy every second of this masterpiece. I would strongly recommend this game to anyone! Thank you Mr Gilbert, the world needs more games like this! ### 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. ## Frequently asked questions about Blackwell 5 ### What is Blackwell 5: Epiphany about?
