THE BLACKWELL LEGACY

nother ghostly title set in New York, was the second game’s Dave Gilbert, released back in 2006. Luckily, point-and-click games don’t age. The story holds up and most of the scenes have conflict and purpose. The stakes are clear for hero Rosa, who has to work with spectral guide Joey or risk being institutionalized. It’s a knowing adventure game: There’s even an animal puzzle that nods to Broken Sword’s wretched goat. Couple this with characters that feel relatable if not always likable, and it’s a good alternative to the Ghostbusters approach to undead relations.
