(I'm going to send out the official announcement tomorrow, but you guys get it first)

Coming June 30th, 2009, from Wadjet Eye Games!

A new film opens to rave reviews, despite its bloody history. A beautiful uptown office remains unoccupied, despite its prime location. A downtown artist berates himself for selling out, while a Wall Street investor congratulates himself on a job well done. Just normal life in the big city? Or is somthing more sinister binding these events together?

Bizarre connections are a dime a dozen for the Blackwell family, but just how far back do they go? Medium Rosangela Blackwell and her spirit guide Joey Mallone are about to find out.

Screenshots:

Remember this room from Legacy? It looks different now.

Rosa's apartment has also gotten a facelift.

Tracing a ghost's life history.

Nishanthi is back, and she's gossiping about Rosa.

Joey gets asked a difficult question.

I wish I could somehow easily sell these games in my shop, GameWorld; I reckon people would buy them!

Dave great game great seairs so far but i most say i am not exactly feeling the new roseangela to be frank shes awful

Domino · « **Reply #4 on:** 19 Dec 2007, 00:35 »

Looks outstanding, as usual.

I wish you all the best with this, your third commercial blackwell game! Think about it, Dave: you've now produced a trilogy!

I'm exited about the new game. I don't think the new Roseangela is that bad. True her voice is a bit deeper but I think this is as close as you could get. Looking forward to playing it.

Dave Gilbert · « **Reply #7 on:** 19 Dec 2007, 01:14 »

The change in voiceover actresses was unavoidable, alas. The original actress (Sande Chen) is way too busy nowadays to commit to doing the voiceovers for this, in addition to living too far away. Rebecca is in for the duration, and as a bonus she's worked with Abe before.

Cant be helpd I guess great game though

I don't think Rebbeca's that bad, definately not awful, I think you're just bothered because it's not The original voice actress.

I'm looking foward to this game (even though I still haven't played the previous games).

Gregjazz · « **Reply #10 on:** 19 Dec 2007, 04:30 »

I'm really looking to this!!

The Hero · « **Reply #11 on:** 19 Dec 2007, 05:03 »

Changing actors in a game is never really that great of a idea in Dave's case though he had no choice Rebbecca will century take some getting used to Dave I'm a actor I can help with voice directions if you like?

Ghost · « **Reply #12 on:** 19 Dec 2007, 05:13 »

Luck on you, Dave. That looks fantastic!

Maybe discuss with Dave a bit? get a few copies and see how it goes? something to that end?

Dave, really cool! God luck with this and let us know when we can preorder and stuff!

Vince Twelve · « **Reply #14 on:** 19 Dec 2007, 11:13 »

Gorgeous as usual, Dave. Congrats! Where do I get in line?

Supersheep · « **Reply #15 on:** 19 Dec 2007, 12:49 »

This looks fantastic. Can't wait for the game!

Cino · « **Reply #16 on:** 19 Dec 2007, 14:13 »

I actually found the original Rosangella's voice a bit annoying and this might even be better.
Anyway, can't wait for the game. I'm more than willing to buy this one as well.

Layabout · « **Reply #17 on:** 19 Dec 2007, 14:29 »

Yay! Looking forward to this.

GarageGothic · « **Reply #18 on:** 20 Dec 2007, 16:58 »

Really looking forward to this one. It's a shame that Sande wasn't available, and I must say that I prefer the previous cover illustrations - this one seems to lack some of Dan Lee's unique "painterly" style. But the plot sounds absolutely intriguing (haunted movie? welcome to the club

) and the screens are gorgeous. When I first saw the character sketches in the unlockables for Unbound, I thought the guy in the tie was supposed to be the ghost of Joseph Mitchell, but it seems to be a new character, which only makes things more interesting...

Arr. In times, the voice-acting wasn't much, but Sande's voice really defined Rosa.

Still, out with the old, in with the new, I guess. If Dave picked this new Rosa, then it's because she sounds more like Rosa.
