Street psychics. Their blinking neon signs are everywhere, promising love and wealth and happiness. They make a fortune preying on the gullible and milking them dry. So when these victims begin dying and leaving confused spirits behind, it can only take a genuine psychic (and her wayward spirit guide) to clean up the mess. From seedy downtown nightclubs to penthouse apartments to a luxury yacht on the Hudson River, Rosa and Joey will unearth the truth about the underground world of street psychics - including some secrets that Joey would rather be left buried. This is the fourth in the series begun by "Blackwell 1: Legacy," "Blackwell 2: Unbound," and "Blackwell 3: Convergence" (all available now). The story is concluded in "Blackwell 5: Epiphany" (coming soon). Rock Paper Shotgun - "The Blackwell Deception is hands-down [Wadjet Eye's] best adventure yet, and one of my favourites in a very long time." Adventure Gamers - "Perhaps the best game in the series to date, Blackwell Deception is an enjoyable retro title and a well-rounded effort that’s easy to get into and hard to put down." [3.5/5] Alternative Magazine Online - "The Blackwell Deception is a welcome addition to one of the most enjoyable adventure game series ever made." [9/10] Jay is games - "Packed full of mystery, character, charm and suspense, it's a delight from start to finish."
