The Blackwell Legacy, Revealed?

- Since we seem to be turning GSW into the 'PC indie adventure game Watch', I don't see why I shouldn't mention that Dave 'The Shivah' Gilbert released his new AGS game, The Blackwell Legacy just before Xmas, and I haven't seen much game blog press for it.

The Shivah itself is in Wired Magazine this month, actually, but The Blackwell Legacy also looks intriguing, "the first case in a miniseries of games that stars a medium named Rosangela Blackwell and her spirit guide Joey Mallone."

Unfortunately, there's no playable demo yet (looks like it'll be along in a few days!), but the game itself is a quite reasonable $14.99, and there's already a Gameboomers review of it which highlights some of the interestingly dark themes of the game (suicide, for one), and comments: "All in all, I found the game to start rather slowly but become much more enjoyable after a short while. The attention to detail is noteworthy. I thought it an unusually compelling psychological study for an independent game to undertake, and I’ll certainly be looking forward to more from this talented developer."
