Spirits keep their secrets too.

The Blackwell Bundle, a fantastic collection of four old-school point-and-click investigative adventures with a supernatural twist, is available on GOG.com 60% off until Thursday, October 11 at 10:59 GMT.

Meet Rosangela Blackwell, a New York writer/detective, as she takes on four mystery-packed cases in the company of her pale and transparent partner, Joe Mallone. "Pale and transparent? What's up with that?"--you might ask. Well, don't be alarmed, but Mr. Mallone died in 1930s. Luckily for him Mrs. Blackwell proves to be a medium and not only does she see the poor old chap, but also can easily communicate with him. Much to her own dismay--at first--as Joe turns out to be quite irritating for someone without a pulse. They, however, share one common passion: meddling in the many mysteries of the city that never sleeps.

In The Blackwell Bundle we follow the exploits of the unlikely detective duo as they investigate four cases balancing on the edge between crime and paranormal happenings. In the first chapter of our story, The Blackwell Legacy, we witness the beginning of an unwitting partnership, as Rosa Blackwell learns about her psychic heritage, meets the ghost of Joe Mallone, and stops a series of mysterious suicides. Blackwell Unbound acts as a prequel to the series and tells the story of Rosa's grandmother, Lauren Blackwell, who preceded her granddaughter as Joe's medium mystery-solving partner. Back in our times Blackwell Convergence pits Rosa and Joe against a tortured soul of a murdering lunatic, that's been haunting the Big Apple for decades. Finally, Blackwell Deception puts our detectives in harm's way as a sinister villain manipulates them for his own dark purposes. All of the stories feature top-notch writing, remarkable voice-acting, classic pixel-art graphics, and a multitude restless spirits.

Let Joe Mallone lead you and Rosa into the unknown realm of spirits roaming the ever-busy streets of New York in The Blackwell Bundle, 60% off--that's only $5.99 for the next 24 hours!

Telika: As far as I know, adventure games are not plants with ramifications. They're just stems with short thorns.
A notable exception would be alternate endings, but even stems are also important. Failures are also informative. In a book, if the protagonist shoots a bad guy preemptively, he might be a trigger-happy asshole. You don't know what'd have happened if he tried to reason instead. In the game, it's hardcoded: so you want peace? haha what an idiot, eat lead, cutie. (RPGs are similar in that aspect, except, instead of a game over screen, they may play combat music at this point, which can mitigate the didactic impact of that particular consequence.)
