#I've watched SO many spirit medium nonsense tv shows and this is honestly already better than most of them

I've been thinking about picking up the Blackwell adventure games for a while, since I love Primordia so ludicrously much (and voice actor Abe Goldfarb specifically, I will follow this man into hell), and Steam has them all on sale for like eight bucks! I'm on the third game (Convergence) atm, the first two clocked in at about three and a half hours each so they're sort of chapters of a VERY FUN LITTLE BOOK so far. The plot: three generations of women in the Blackwell family have been mediums inexplicably blessed/cursed with a sassy blue dead guy from the 1930s for a spirit guide, and gosh darn it he doesn't know why he's there either! Together, they fight dead people crimes!! In the first game you play as Rosa, in the second game you go back to the 1970s and play as her aunt, and now it's Rosa again and idk where we're going from here but I'm extremely into this. The first game, Legacy, is admittedly a little clunky and unpolished because it was only WEG's second game, but I was still in love with the story basically immediately and every subsequent game has gotten a considerable level-up as they got more experienced. Would 100% rec, especially at this stupid cheap price. Content warnings: Being games about spirit guide shenanigans there's obviously a lot of talk about death after the fact, some of it self-inflicted, and Legacy had some off-screen stuff about (probably supernatural) dementia that I assume will come up again later. All just mentions so far though, I think.
