The third game in Wadjet Eye's Blackwell mystery adventure series A new film opens to rave reviews, despite its bloody history. A beautiful uptown office remains unoccupied, despite its prime location. A downtown artist berates himself for selling out, while a Wall Street investor congratulates himself on a job well done. Just normal life in the big city? Or is something more sinister binding these events together? Bizarre connections are a dime a dozen for the Blackwell family, but just how far back do they go? Medium Rosangela Blackwell and her spirit guide Joey Mallone are about to find out. This is the third in the series begun by "Blackwell 1: Legacy" and "Blackwell 2: Unbound" (both available now). The story is concluded in "Blackwell 4: Deception" and "Blackwell 5: Epiphany" (coming soon).
