In a city teeming with life, who has time for the dead?
Meet Rosangela Blackwell, an embittered writer who just found out that she is a medium and that it’s her mission, whether she likes it or not, to assist tormented spirits and investigate other supernatural goings-on. She is assisted by the sardonic Joey Mallone, a ghost from the 1930s.
In the Blackwell Legacy, you are introduced to Rosangela as she meets Joey Mallone for the first time and is called upon to investigate a series of mysterious suicides at a local university. An enigmatic killer and a string of seemingly unconnected accidents set the background for Blackwell Unbound. Blackwell Convergence will have you investigating a film premiere that hides a bloody past and--last but not least!--in Blackwell Deception you’ll investigate why the customers of various street psychics seem to die under very mysterious circumstances.
New York, the city that never sleeps, is waiting for you to solve 4 gripping mysteries before it’s too late!
Blackwell Bundle includes the first four episodes: Legacy, Unbound, Convergence, and Deception.
Four unique adventure games with more than 10 hours of adventure greatness for one low price!
Get to know the New York of the 70’s and visit some of its unique locales such as the old Minetta Tavern in the West Village.
Switch between Joey Mallone and Rosangela Blackwell to gather clues and solve the case.

Well described that these are more interactive stories than true puzzle games, there are a few talk-to-everyone moments but the engrossing stories are both self-contained in each game with a wonderful overarching plot culinating in a beautifully (and unexpected!) moving finale in the 5th episode Blackwell Epiphany.
The voice acting and music and attention-to-detail touches e.g. callbacks in later episodes make this a work of art.
What a great series of games. The story is what made me want to play them back to back. Voice-acting and dialogue is great. It's even funny too. And I love pixels. Normaly i'm not into the supernatural storyline, but this one got me hooked. I just wanted to play all 5 games (Blackwell Epiphany is sold seperately) just to see the end to the tale.
I have to agree with other commenters that it's a light adventure game. The story itself gets a lot of room. But I am a sucker for pixel hunting, so I liked it a lot. I found that some puzzles were quite simple (which means that they're hard for me) and I didn't quite get the matching of clues right away. Nonetheless, a very enjoyable series of games along the likes of The Excavation of Hob's Barrow and others here at GOG. A job well done by Wadyet Eye Games.
This is a really good game. It's one game in four chapters.
The individual ratings would be:
* Legacy: ***
* Unbound: ****
* Convergence: ****
* Deception: ****
Legacy is 3 stars probably because it's the origin story. The next ones improve a lot.
It's also very clear how the developers learnt from each episode and "fixed" the gameplay and ui for the next game.
I hope to play the fifth chapter soon.
This is a really solid Point-and-Click Adventure that sets up a really good story, but doesn't go much of anywhere with it. The graphics and voice acting are spectacular, particularly with the main character. The puzzles are mostly logical, once you get used to combining clues in the notebook, and only once did I get stuck. I instantly liked Rosa; she's witty, sassy, and a bit sloppy without being a total trainwreck. She's a bit of a reluctant heroine, but by the end of the game, she starts to come into her own. Joey, the other main character, is a bit of an ass, but by the end, he started to grow on me. The story is about a woman who helps the dead come to grips with their own death and move on. It doesn't dare to guess what's on the other side, but I think it's better that it leaves that open to interpretation. The ghosts that you meet are interesting, and so are the live people, and it all winds around a mystery that's far greater than the pieces in front of you. It's like that first episode of a non-episodic TV show that hooks you, but can't become all that great, because it's too busy setting up the characters and the basic premise of the story. It does that well enough, though, and got me excited for the next game; I knew that something even better was on its way, and I was not disappointed, but that's another set of reviews altogether.
Okay, the bundle isn't short. It was a good idea to collect all the episodes and create this bundle, because the single games would be ridiculously short. But let's talk about the gameplay. The soundtrack and the character of Joey really set the mood all episodes. They give the game a kick of the 1930s. It has everything you'd expect from a point-and-click game: good story, good characters, good puzzles. It will make you laugh a lot, and sometimes it'll make you want to cry. I absolutely recommend this game to the point-and-click adventure fans.
