Blackwell Epiphany

Truly a Masterpiece. I honestly do not understand how the developer managed to make this game feel so engaging, feel so real (I am not talking about graphics), establishes emotional connection between the characters and the player. After walking away from this game I feel I have experienced something new - something worth thinking about. And for that I am grateful. What a refreshing experience. And the music... good god what beauty to my ears. Everything from relaxed jazz to the eurodance in the gym scene... So well done.

This game is the last in a 5 game series, so obviously I expected it to be a worthy ending to the series. And wow, did it exceed my expectatios! Everything about it is done perfectly - The story is brilliat, full of surprises, and closes all the loose ends. The gameplay is much deeper this time, with more puzzles that are all logical and satisfying. And the writing, voice acting and soundtrack once again create a cohesive, believable world, which absorbs you from start to finish. The Blackwell series is a must-play for lovers of the genre, and it's definately amongst its best.

amazing last part of this series - sadly.

I am so happy this a game like this can exist in this day and age. The dedication to character and story telling, the amazing voice acting and art, and the memorable puzzles that drive the game. I was hooked from game 1 and I feel so satisfied now that the series has ended. There were so many characters with tragic flaws that I identify with, the game is more than just an extremely entertaining way to pass the time and became something filled with personal meaning. Pick up this game and the whole Blackwell series if you're a lonely heart lost in the sea of humanity.

I played the whole series with my wife after I got the taste of the first episode. It's not exactly an intuitive game because it forces you to think like you're not in game, while most games are based on attributes or weapons that better fit various tasks or opponents. With this series, you constantly have to be aware of your capabilities and take advantage of them to achieve something. Just like in real life, distracting people can get you somewhere, and insisting on the same topic will get you valuable information. This is just a little bit about the game's mechanics, which are not unheard of, but the whole story complementing it from the first episode to the last, made it awesome. The order you play the games in, matters. This is it: 1. The Blackwell Legacy 2. Blackwell Unbound 3. Blackwell Convergence 4. Blackwell Deception 5. Blackwell Epiphany Get them all, play them in order, and you'll have a great time. It will probably take you a week to finish them if you play about 3-4 hours every day, or maybe it will take you a bit more if you're not used to this kind of games. But it's not worth rushing it. Every episode is fun, and The Blackwell Epiphany was an amazing ending to the series. It was sad, it was great, it was unexpected - unlike many games and movies you get to see and you've pretty much figured out what would happen in the end. The closing chapter of the Blackwell series stirs your feelings right from Rosa's room, where you got memorabilia from every episode, like a farewell gift to you, that really means something when you've player the previous episodes. The story is longer, more complex, and it surprises you to the very end, both sadly and beautifully. Wow, what an ending... Hats off for the writing! We loved it. :)
