About
Blackwood Crossing is a story-driven first-person adventure game. A haunting tale of intrigue and mystery.
You play as Scarlett, a teenager finding her way in the world. You wake up, disorientated, to find yourself and your younger brother, Finn, inexplicably travelling on a moving train.
But when a mysterious figure appears, it’s clear that this is no ordinary train ride. It’s the beginning of a magical voyage, steeped in life, love and loss.
Navigating this powerful drama - where the world, and your abilities develop in extraordinary ways - you are forced to examine your relationship with Finn. You are orphans, and your relationship has always been strong. However, adolescence has opened the door to new interests, and you’ve been growing apart.
As you gradually uncover the depths of Finn’s anguish, the consequences of your remoteness become shockingly clear.

An emotional, interactive Short story that goes to the Heart.
The Content to the Point You follow your Brother through a Train and other Environments, solving minor Puzzles and being told a Story that allows plenty of Room for interpretation.
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1156419193 Story It tells the Story of The Scarlett & Finn Siblings. I don't want to mention more for Spoiler reasons and because of the short Playing Time.
Gameplay & Control The Game provides full Controller support, but since we always play from a First-person point of view, the Control with mouse & Keyboard is a little less fiddly than with the Controller.
Blackwood Crossing Is an interactive Gaming experience similar to Firewatch or The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. However, in its colorful Depiction quite a bit more childish, although there are also a few creepy Elements. You move at an imposed Pace Like similar "Walking Simulators," can interact with the Environment from time to time with very simple Puzzles or be inspired by smaller Cutscenes. There are no screen deaths, this is all about telling a Story. That being said, the Game is completely linear and you have virtually no Exploration away from the Main Path.
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1156419145 Graphics & Sound The Graphics look like a lively comic And, depending on the Location, also with beautiful Details. Until recently, the Game also had a troublesome 30 FPS lock which can now be bypassed in the Graphics options. The Sound is apt and atmospheric, even the Original Speakers do their Job very well. Those who are not proficient in the English Language can fall back on the German Subtitles. There is no German Language Edition.
Scope A Gameplay is limited to 2-3h, the narrated density does not give much more, but this is not to say that it would be less good because of this. On the Contrary, this is a heart-telling Story. However, Replay Value is 0 due to the linear History. Other Recommendations for anyone who can do something with this Type of interactive Game. The Joy of Walking Simulators Has and likes to be sad, beautiful Stories to tell.
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1156419312 FAZIT: Light, interactive and soulful Entertainment for in between.
