About This Game The year is 1973. The sound of a lone, ethereal saxophone drifts over the Roosevelt Island promenade, while a series of accidents plague a midtown construction site. The citizens of Manhattan take no notice of these events, let alone think they are connected. Embittered medium Lauren Blackwell and her spirit guide Joey Mallone are the only ones who believe that there is anything strange going on, and they are the only ones who can stop an enigmatic killer from striking again... 1075eedd30 Title: Blackwell UnboundGenre: Adventure, IndieDeveloper:Wadjet Eye GamesPublisher:Wadjet Eye GamesRelease Date: 13 Jan, 2012 Blackwell Unbound Free Download [full Version] I usually enjoy all point-n-click adventure games with an interesting narrative, and some of my favorites were produced by Wadjet Eye. However subpar graphics and tedious repetitive mechanics squeezed the joy out of Blackwell Unbound. As with the first game everything played out rather humourless and dull. A technical mishap is the unadjustable midi music, that ruins a few scenes by overwhelming the dialogue. Something I did find excellent in Unbound was the voice-acting and Dani Marco, the voice of Lauren Blackwell, is the perfect example.I only recommend Unbound to adventurers who liked the first game, Blackwell Legacy, but others should preserve their time for something better.. Bottom line at the top: Although shorter than its predecessor I found this game to be more polished than The Blackwell Legacy. A good way to kill an afternoon and get hyped up for the rest of the series!Pros-------------------------------------------Enjoyed Lauren's voice acting performance much more than Rosa's from The Blackwell Legacy.-Good background music. Had original performance for ending sound track, which would become a Wadjet Eye signature move in later game.-Liked being able to play as Joey.Meh.-------------------------------------------Had the wrong voice recorded response be incorrect for the words written in the text box. This same issue occurred at least once in The Blackwell Legacy as well.-The notebook mechanic was used less in this game than The Blackwell Legacy.-At 2 hours of game play, this game is short for $5 but its still low priced and available in a bundle so not as big a deal.-Overall voice performances were better than The Blackwell Legacy but not as professional as other titles I've played at similar price point (including future Wadjet Eye Games titles).Cons-------------------------------------------Voice recording quality was poor. This seems to be a running theme in early Wadjet Eye games.-Had some pixel hunting.Overall a definite improvement over the first title in the series. You won't regret spending the $5 if you buy at full price but your going to want to play all the titles in the series anyway so might as well get the bundle and save a few bucks. Looking forward to the next title in the series!
