The Blackwell Legacy is an independent adventure game that was released on 23 December 2006. The game was designed by Dave Gilbert, creator of The Shivah and Two of a Kind.
The protagonist of the game is Rosangela Blackwell, who is a young writer living a solitary life in New York City. The death of her only relative, her aunt, inspires her to seek the truth behind her haunted past.
The game runs under the Adventure Game Studio platform. It was nominated for 4 AGS Awards for games released in 2006 and won the award for Best Character Art[1]. Character art was drawn by Ian 'Big Brother' Schlapfer of Herculean Effort Productions.
[edit] Genesis
The project originally began as Bestowers of Eternity. This game was released as free software in 2003 via the Internet under that title, and gained much popularity. Subsequently it was decided for the project to be extended and redone into a proper commercial product – and thus The Blackwell Legacy was born.
