Phantom Detective: Wadjet Eye is bringing the first three Blackwell games to iOS on July 10
Rest of the series coming later this year
Gemini Rue developer and point-and-click revivalist Wadjet Eye Games will bring the first three games in its lauded Blackwell saga to iOS on July 10th.
These adventures star spirit medium Rosa Blackwell and her spectral sidekick from the '30s, Joey Mallone.
Together they'll traipse across New York, solving murders and helping confused spirits come to terms with death.
Morbid stuff. Blackwell 1: Legacy, Blackwell 2: Unbound, and Blackwell 3: Convergence will be available as three separate games. Here's what they all look like:
Pixel art lava lamps in Blackwell 1: Legacy
Blackwell 2: Unbound is a prequel, set in the '70s
Hello, Blackwell 3: Convergence
The rest of the series (that's Deception and Epiphany) is coming to iOS later this year. The entire series is also coming to Android at some point.
