By far the longest and hardest Blackwell game so far. Had me stuck a few times. Must say I liked the art in Convergance better. However, the writing it the best so far and character development is excellent. If you liked the other Blackwell games, you will like this one too.
The story picks up speed and density in this chapter of the Blackwell series. Working with character tensions and some thinking around the corner, yet nothing too far out of the realm of logical comprehension. After I took some break during the case, it took a moment to get back into it. Still recommended to do the gaming sessions with not too much time in between to keep the drive. Really happy to have seen this polished pearl of a game.
The toughest, ghostiest game in the series yet featuring FOUR spooks in need of spiritual consulting! Combining clues system makes a very welcome return and puzzle difficulty in Blackwell Deception cranks it up a notch -- which is for the better. I love how Wadjet Eye interconnects characters (Ken and Cecil Sharpe, Sam Durkin) so their stories are never forgotten.
Absolutely amazing! Every new addition just leaves me more excited to get to the next one. While I'm sad there's only one more game to go, I'm also so excited to see how this fantastic journey ends. I love how every game so far has only improved, and I can't wait to see what Epiphany has in store for me!
