Wikipedia :
Blackwell is a series of five graphic adventure video games from independent game developer Wadjet Eye Games, created by Dave Gilbert. The plots of the games generally focus on Rosangela Blackwell, a spiritual medium, and her spirit guide Joey Mallone, who work to help ghosts transition to the afterlife.
Le Bottin des jeux Linux :
3 available for Linux.
2 other episodes but no Linux version for now :
• Episode 4: Blackwell Deception (distributed in the bundle in window version)
• Episode 5: Blackwell Epiphany
Episode 1: The Blackwell Legacy
When Rosa Blackwell’s only relative dies after twenty years in a coma, she thinks the worst is over. This all changes when Joey Mallone, a sardonic ghost from the 1930s, blows into her life and tells her that she is a medium. Whether they like it or not, it is up to them to cure the supernatural ills of New York in this critically-acclaimed series of point-and-click adventure games.
The duo’s first case will involve a series of suicides at a local university. Something unnatural has forced these students to kill themselves, and nobody knows why. Rosangela, who is just coming to terms with her new status as a medium, finds herself cast as the unwilling detective in this gruesome mystery.
Episode 2: Blackwell Unbound
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, let alone think they are connected.
Embittered medium Lauren 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…
Episode 3: The Blackwell Convergence
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 to they go? Medium Rosangela Blackwell and her spirit guide Joey Mallone are about to find out.
Episode 4: Blackwell Deception (no Linux version)
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.
Episode 5: Blackwell Epiphany (no Linux version)
A dead man’s soul cries out against the force of a ferocious blizzard. He cries for help. He cries for answers. Then he screams as he is torn apart like damp tissue paper.
This wasn’t the first time, and it won’t be the last.
The police are powerless to stop it, so the duty falls to the only ones who can. What force could be so powerful – and so malevolent – that it would destroy the very core of a life in order to get what it wants? Rosa Blackwell and Joey Mallone mean to find out, even if it means risking themselves in the process.
Une série de 5 jeux d'aventure de type pointer et cliquer, par le studio Wadjet Eye Games.
Ces jeux utilisent le moteur Adventure Game Studio (AGS, dans le Bottin).
The Blackwell BUNDLE est une offre commerciale comprenant une série de 4 jeux d'aventure de type pointer et cliquer :
• Episode 1: The Blackwell Legacy
• Episode 2: Blackwell Unbound
• Episode 3: The Blackwell Convergence
• Episode 4: Blackwell Deception (livré dans le bundle en version windows)
Un autre épisode suit se bundle mais pas encore de version Linux :
• Episode 5: Blackwell Epiphany
Le scénario tourne autour de Rosangela Blackwell - un médium, et son guide spirituel Joey Mallone, qui travaillent à aider les fantômes à transiter vers l'au-delà.
NdT : Ce bundle était disponible sur le site du studio, ils sont à présent vendus séparément (et il vous faudra peut-être installer le moteur AGS manuellement (voir la fiche AGS du Bottin). Le bundle reste néanmoins disponible sur Steam en version directement exploitable sous Linux. Il est probable qu'il soit possible de jouer sous Linux avec les 2 autres épisodes via le moteur AGS, mais non testé.
Synopsis :
Dans une ville si pleine de vie, qui a du temps pour les morts ?
Lorsque Rosa Blackwell sort d'une mort relative après vingt ans passés dans le coma, elle s'imagine que le pire est passé. Tout ceci est bouleversé lorsque Joey Mallone, - un fantôme sardonique des années 1930, fait une entrée fracassante dans sa vie et lui apprend qu'elle est médium.
Qu'ils le veuillent ou non, il leur revient de guérir les maux surnaturels de New York dans cette série de jeux point-and-click d'aventure acclamée par la critique.
🕵️ Test (démo épisode 1 + AGS v 3.1.2) :
(testé 2 min)
Cette démo fonctionne parfaitement avec le binaire du moteur AGS.
Le scénario semble en béton, un graphisme de qualité, une bande son et des effets sonores soignés.
Très bien.
