Really great games
These games surprised me because I had never heard of them by the time the fourth came out. They're stunning. Each one is short, but the writing is really well done, the characters are great, and the production quality is very high for indie games. If you enjoy point&click at all, don't miss them.

Yet another great story from D. Gilbert!
First : I played it on Linux via Wine. you have to manage your own Wine installation, but everything worked without any quirk : install wine, double click on the blackwell bundle installer. The only issue I faced is that upon exit, I had to resize my screen back to decent resolution manually. The title says it : if you like its other adventure games from Wadjet Eye, you wont be disappointed All the usual things are there : * Really good story that will prevent you from exiting the game until the ending credits * characters well defined * very well acted (including the recognizable voice of Abe Goldfarb) * not too hard as a point and click (no cheating needed : everything is somehow logical if you think about it carefully) * very light and pleasant interface Each episode is sufficiently different from the other that you have some new experience on each one. The graphics are good old VGA style, quite well done (except that I did not like much the animation in the last episode) Each episode is relatively short (~5 hours), but the bundle itself has an overall fairly decent life. The only big minus is that the bundle does not include the 5th episode... which is a lot of mental suffering once the bundle is finished :D Note : There's apparently a Linux port for the game engine (AGS), I did not try it yet.

Good idea, mediocre execution
You play as a psychic and her ghost sidekick, who together are able to help ghosts move on to the afterlife. To do that you often need to help them to understand that they're dead, and reach peace, before being able to transfer them onward. Gameplay-wise, it means you investigate their lives as well as discover their murderer, if one exists, in order to snap them out of the loop they are in. Sadly, each game of the four is far too similar to the one previous, for any of the four to truly stand out. It doesn't help that in order to investigate their deaths, you follow a fairly simple formula, with the only thing changing being the story of the ghost you're trying to set free. Having the entire game rest on the quality of the stories hurts the game, especially since many of these games only offer around 3 cases to investigate before the game is over. There is some villain that appears at the end of each game, which somehow connects all the ghosts together, but they appear so late in the story they aren't developed enough to be interesting. The acting is also not on par with the sad subject matter, and doesn't manage to convey the emotions of someone who led a rough life, only to be murdered, or of a ghost having to look back on its life and realize that it was wasted. But that's a hard thing to convey, especially considering the writing of each story just isn't good enough. Characters come off too thin at times, and their life story feels a bit too stereotypical to incite any sadness. More often than not it's the story of the hapless do-gooder who died wrongfully, and has to come to terms with death. The game is also fairly streamlined-you can investigate multiple cases at once, but there are only a few things you can do at any location, so it isn't hard, for the most part, finding out what to do next. You can advance a case without actually paying attention to the plot. It can make a short game ever shorter. It doesn't help that the four games feel more like two.

Didn't get eveything but good experience
I played the whole bundle, one after the otehr. I like how each story ties to the other. I didn't get the whole story but it was fun to play. I recommend it if you miss the old pixel games ;)
