Release Date: February 17, 2017
An adventure game developed by PaperSeven. The plot was written by Oliver Reid-Smith (the creator of the script for the well-received The Room), and it focuses on the relations of orphaned siblings: Scarlett and her younger brother, Finn. When the girl enters adolescence, their relations worsen. While traveling on a train, the protagonists meet a mysterious creature that lets them look at their past from a different perspective.
Blackwood Crossing is an adventure game for PC, PS4 and XONE. It was developed by PaperSeven, a British studio founded by former employees of the defunct Black Rock (Pure and Split/Second, among other titles). The plot was written by Oliver Reid-Smith, the author of the script for the mobile hit entitled The Room.
The plot focuses on the relations between orphaned siblings: a teenager named Scarlett and her younger brother, Finn. The girl enters adolescence and slowly leaves the world of childhood behind, which makes the bond between the two grow weaker. Most of the story takes place during a train travel, when the siblings meet a bizarre magic creature that makes them look at their past from a different perspective.
Blackwood Crossing for PC, PS4 and XONE is a first-person narrative adventure game. While playing, we mostly explore the world, have conversations, and make decisions that significantly alter the further course of the plot. Thanks to this, the campaign can be completed multiple times, each time offering a slightly different story.
The production focuses mostly on telling an interesting story, while the remaining elements are of lesser import. Every now and then, we have to solve a logic puzzle, although the ones that are in the game are relatively easy since they are but occasional diversions.
Blackwood Crossing for PC, PS4 and XONE offers fully three-dimensional graphics powered by the Unity engine. The developers did not go for visual realism and choose to have slightly cartoonish characters instead.

Game Ratings for Blackwood Crossing Video Game.
COGconnected: 83 / 100 by Chris Simmons
Blackwood Crossing is a game I highly recommend experiencing. It's a game that defies explanation but has deeply emotional implications. If you're as fascinated as I am by the emerging trend of games that portray real feels then Blackwood Crossing is a no-brainer.
Twinfinite: 3 / 5 by Chaz Miller
Blackwood Crossing is not a universal recommendation. There are those among us who prefer fast-paced action or daring adventures to the calm and introspective nature of this kind of game.
NEOsite: 8 / 10 by Krzysiek Kalwasiński
Blackwood Crossing is beautiful, but short tale, which will melt your heart. If it was longer and more polished, we could talk about perfection.
Average score from votes.
