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." Adventure Gamers - "There are some fine examples of adventure game writing here, and they clearly show the potential this series has." 3.5/5 Gamezebo - "Blackwell Unbound is a fun adventure worth clicking through." 3.5/5
