Adventue News: Blackwell Deception
Wadjet Eye Games' Blackwell Deception Releases Today at RosaBlackwell.com
Last chance to get the limited edition DVD; download version also available
NEW YORK - October 12, 2011 - Wadjet Eye Games, an independent developer and publisher of retro-styled adventure games, is announcing the release of Blackwell Deception for PC. This continuation of the supernatural Blackwell mystery series is available today from http://www.rosablackwell.com as a $14.99 PC download.
Blackwell Deception is a modern adventure game with a retro feel, thanks to its 2D pixel art graphics, classic point-and-click gameplay, and engrossing mystery storyline featuring two playable characters. The setting is present day New York, where street psychics have set up shop on every corner to prey on the gullible and milk them dry. Rosa Blackwell -- a true psychic -- sees right through the pricey scams these so-called "healers" are running. And when she and her ghost-partner Joey Mallone start bumping into confused spirits who consulted street psychics during their final days, the duo realizes that more than money is at stake. Now Rosa and Joey must help the restless ghosts find peace and expose the truth before more innocent people are killed.
"Blackwell Deception has been a long time in coming, and I'm excited to finally deliver. I truly think it's the best Blackwell game so far," says Dave Gilbert, Wadjet Eye Games' CEO and creator of the series. "During its two years in production, a lot of care has been put into the story and puzzles to ensure that Blackwell Deception can stand alone. So new players will be able to jump right in -- but old fans should feel like no time has passed at all."
Special DVD offer: In addition to the standard download version, a limited edition DVD containing all four Blackwell games and bonus content is currently available for $24.99. Immediate download access to Blackwell Deception and free worldwide shipping are included in the price. Wadjet Eye will continue to take orders for this limited edition DVD through this Sunday, October 16. After this special offer expires, Blackwell Deception will only be available in downloadable format.

Wadjet Eye Games' Haunting Mystery Series Continues October 12 with Blackwell Deception
Free demo and limited-time preorder deal at www.rosablackwell.com
NEW YORK - September 14, 2011 - Wadjet Eye Games, an independent developer and publisher of retro-styled games, is officially unveiling the long-awaited fourth installment of its celebrated Blackwell adventure series. Blackwell Deception will release for PC on October 12 from http://www.rosablackwell.com. A free demo is available today to give eager fans a taste of the haunting mystery that awaits.
Starring reluctant spirit medium Rosa Blackwell and her ghostly partner Joey Mallone, the Blackwell games are supernatural adventures in the style of the "golden age" point-and-click adventures of Sierra and LucasArts. Working together, Rosa and Joey investigate suspicious deaths and help restless spirits cross over into the afterlife. The series features retro 2D graphics, compelling interactive storytelling, and unique puzzle-solving scenarios that require switching between the mortal Rosa and otherworldly Joey to make the best use of each character's unique abilities.
In Blackwell Deception, an unexpected tragedy leads Rosa and Joey to a shady ring of street psychics who are preying on the gullible and milking them dry. When people begin dying, only a genuine psychic (and her wayward spirit guide) can help the victims' confused spirits find peace. From a seedy downtown nightclub to a penthouse apartment to a luxury yacht on the Hudson River, Rosa and Joey will traverse the New York City streets to unearth the truth about this underground world -- including some secrets Joey would prefer to keep buried.
Starting October 12, Blackwell Deception will be available as a PC download for $14.99. For customers who preorder the game between now and launch day, Wadjet Eye is extending two limited-time special offers:
- Downloadable preorder offer: For $14.99, preorder customers get convenient download access to Blackwell Deception on launch day, as well as a free downloadable copy of the series' acclaimed third installment, Blackwell Convergence, to enjoy right away.
- Limited edition DVD preorder offer: For $24.99, preorder customers can reserve a limited edition DVD that includes all four Blackwell games, an MP3 soundtrack, animated Blackwell shorts, and other bonus materials.

Limited edition DVDs are expected to ship in late October and free worldwide shipping is included in the price.
